My Journey

This is the second time I will be going from relaxed to natural. The first time in 1997 I had a short haircut, just stopped relaxing and just chopped it off when I got about four inches of new growth. There wasn't a drastic difference. I went natural because I was just ready for natural hair. I wore it natural for about four years. I became a Flight Attendant and decided to relax because I wanted a new look and wasn't really educated on how to take care of my natural hair while traveling so much. I now regret doing that. So now I have decided to go natural because I love my natural. Also, I have experienced a lot of breakage and my hair seems to have stopped taking relaxers. I don't want short hair right now so I am transitioning. Now there is so many more resources available for those you want to wear their hair in its natural state. My last relaxer was in September of 2009 and so far there hasn't been too much breakage - only the parts that were always underprocessed on my left side in the back. I am really excited about taking this journey again and I welcome anyone who is going through, has gone through or are just thinking about it to share this journey with me!
