The Decision to Go Back to Natural!

I decided to go back to natural when I grew increasingly frustrated with trying to comb and detangle my hair. I literally had to cut the knots out of my hair. After cutting out the last rounds of knots, I decided that it would be best if I cut out all of the relaxed ends. 

After I took the plunge to go back to natural, I have never looked back. 

Natural Hair Texture Shot

My hair texture is truly interesting. I can literally spray my hair with a combination of conditioner and water and it curls up. I ran a little Eco Styler through my hair to create some shine.  Check out a texture shot.

1 Month Natural

Today, I am one month natural. After a two year transition, I finally decided to big chop April 10, 2014. I am beyond excited about my Nappyversary. I have learned so much about my hair during this transition and I look forward to learning more. My mother gave me a journal when I big chopped, so I have been storing all of my hair recipes and the results. It has been really cool.


When I started my healthy hair journey in 2008, I decided to chronicle all of the bandwagons and remedies that I used to grow my hair out. Today I am happy to say that I can combine those lessons that I learned with what I am learning now.

While I grow out my hair, I will be rocking updos and twists. I'm still getting used to the shorter length. I literally went from MBL to shoulder length with this big chop.
