My natural journey

Hello to all my lovely followers!

So since this is my first post I just want to let you know the history of my natural hair journey. I did not get my first relaxer until I was about 13 (and it was against my Mothers will) So as I went thru high school I knew that I did not want my hair relaxed so I started getting micros to go thru the transformation process. In college I changed over to kinky twists and I did this for about 2 years. After the two years I took the kinky twists out and just rocked my natural hair this lasted for 3 beautiful years! Until I had a mental breakdown (not literally) but that is was I like to call the stint I did when I dyed my hair honey blonde and relaxed it (I am ashamed!) But seriously it was crazy I got a super bad chemical burn and had to cut all my hair. So still not getting the clue I continued to get my hair processed. All along I really missed my beautiful tresses so after a year of this and my hair hanging down to my neck I went into the transitioning phase. I wore bantu knots and twists with up do's for 1 year and then I did the BC (natural term for the big chop) I cut my hair (yes I did it myself!) down to about 3 inches it was WONDERFULLY LIBERATING!!! and here I am almost a year after that living and loving me naturally! The best decision that I have ever made was to let go of all that dead hair and let my beautiful locks shine through! And now you know how my natural journey began. If you are thinking about beginning yours don't hesitate you will feel better instantly and if you are already natural please share your natural hair journey experiences negative and positive.

Always,

Verano
