....It's my Nappyversary! Nappyversarrrryy!
Well ladies, I'm two years in the game of natural hair. Crazy how time flies! My last relaxer was in October of 2008, just before my birthday. Today is my 4th Annual 25th Birthday, so I chose to celebrate them both at the same time.
Unlike most naturals, I celebrate by taking a trip to the salon to have my hair blown straight and trimmed. I plan do this twice a year on my Nappyversary and the Anniversary of my BC (in Feb.). I'm going back to Blade at Upscale's Salon here in Atlanta because he is a guru at straightening the natural tresses down here. My sister, who has also decided to transition to natural, will be going with me for her first mini-chop! So excited!
Going natural has allowed me a lot more freedom to be just who I am, and weed out the things (and people) in life that had no business being there in the first place. I will tell everyone I know that will listen. Never have I been a Natural Hair Nazi, but I do like to plant the seed whenever I get the chance. Since October of 2008, I have helped or inspired about 8 people to at least TRY rocking their natural hair. That really puts a smile on my face :)
The pic below is from my one year B.C. back in February. I curious to see just how much progress I've made since then.
Well happy Birthday and Happy napperversary to you as well. Can't wait to see how these pics will look.
