LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN!!
A year ago today, I walked into a random barber shop and had them cut my hair down to about 2 inches. I got out of the chair in shock and disbelief; mainly because the barber had *NO CLUE* on how to cut hair with scissors and I was *SO NOT READY* to see myself with hair that short. Looking back on it, I have to laugh because I'm sure the look on my face was priceless.
The process of learning to care for my hair has taught me so, so much. I love learning new methods, about new products, and changing my perception of physical beauty. I try to pass this on to as many women as I can, and I am proud to have inspired at least 3 people to transition to their natural hair.
The journey to natural is a difficult one as we have come to terms with what is socially acceptable as African-American standards. Over the course of the next month, I will take you through my journey from relaxed to natural hair, and on my BC anniversary I will switching things up with my hair...I will post pics for all to see..
*** 02/12/2010** will be an exciting day for me...I can't wait to see what my hair has in store!
