I can’t believe I just cut off all my relaxed ends! As I was chopping away, It felt as if I was freeing my little curls lol. I had so many emotions coming at me, such as; WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING CUTTING OFF A YEARS WORTH OF GROWTH? NOW YOU HAVE TO START ALL OVER AT SL-APL! IS THIS JUST A PHASE? Then..I looked myself in the mirror, and realized that this is who I am..this is how GOD made me, and I should embrace this. So I looked myself dead in the eye, and said ” This is a new beginning.” I also thought about my unborn daughter and how it would be so cool for us to be natural together ( which is very soon!) . The only thing to fear is fear its self. Maybe after I wash it today I will take some pics of my natural hair. I am trying to follow the Cathy Howse regime of washing my hair every 3-4 days and to moisturizer 2x a day.
P.S I soo need to post some pics lol

Ok, today is my big chop day (BC) ….(or is it a mini chop, since I won’t be sporting a TWA) and I think that I am ready for this. I have been transitioning my hair from relaxed to natural for almost 2 years now, and these horrid, dry, no life ends have to hit the road. Without cutting my hair currently I am about BSL ( bra strap length)…but when I chop it’s going to be about shoulder length. I do have some concerns though, such as; will I like my natural hair? how is my husband going to feel about the “new” look? ( although he has been very supportive thus far!) I need to stop being a chicken, and just do it!

HELLO WORLD! This my first blog, and I must say that I am very excited to be sharing my hair and life journey with the world. My main focus for this blo
g is to document my natural hair journey from the beginning (Mini BC) until I reach my goal length of waist length ( which is going to probably take about 3 years) but who knows? it could happen much faster! Any who, I am currently a student, and I am studying to become an elementary teacher. I am also currently 8 mos preggo! Yay me. I am married to a very loving husband and we own a very crazy ( but sweet cat, named Pebbles) Well, its late, and do need my beauty rest, tomorrow I will complete my hair transition by cutting the rest of my relaxed ends off. Yes! I am totally afraid of the out come, because I always had long hair since I was a teenager..but I must embark on this journey with a positive outlook. Tomorrow I will post pics of the BC..night night
