Natural Frustrations.

Going natural so far has been a pretty steady journey and has its up and downs. Some days I want to perm my hair, some days I want to BC it and others I rather just keep it as is. For the last couple days I've been getting a little down about this whole transition. The hardest part is when you see women such as Moptop Maven and Curly Nikki [moptopmaven.blogspot.com/ Curlynikki.com] who have this beautiful hair with beautiful length and remember that it takes years, not hours to achieve this. The hardest part about going natural is having the patience to wait for your hair to grown out its permed ends.Sometimes I just see myself with shoulder length natural hair, when my new growth is only two inches off my head [lol]. To combat this impatience us transitioners need to focus on getting our hair to the healthiest it can be, not the length. Stop focusing on the end result [well let it motivate you, not deter you] and live in the moment of now. Before you know it you'll have natural tresses all down your back. [Writing this made me feel better about this natural choice.] Some of us ladies decided to go natural because we were becoming aware of the harmful chemicals, other want to get back to their roots, and some just think it helps them stand apart. Remember these reasons when you begin your question your decision. Ladies try not to fall off and keep hope up. Hopefully in three or four years we will truly be where we want to be.

New State of Mind

This is my very first post and I'm VERY excited about this. I asked my roommates "What should I write about?", but the only thing that came to mind was about how excited I was to do this. Im going to keep this blog short, or what I think is short, because I just don't know where to start, so I'm gonna take it one step at a time.

 My now roommate got me completely hooked in all this hair care business last year and ever since I cant get enough of it! I'm so in love with taking care of my hair the RIGHT way. With natural hair products, I mean. I'm not saying the right way to care for your hair is the natural way, but I wouldn't mind changing a couple minds. :) As long as you are taking care of your hair  the right way (fewer perms,using products without mineral oil,moisturizing hair,etc)  then I'm glad I could help.

Originally when I started my hair care journey I just wanted to care for my relaxed hair naturally, but recently (June 9) I decided I was going to go completely natural with some of the influence of that roommate. Now I'm not one to just cut off all my hair, to be honest all the hair I can get on this head I need to keep sooo the BC is out of the question. When I started my transitioning, coming across blogs or youtube videos about maintaining both textures were extremely rare. This blog is meant to help those, like me who struggled/struggle with finding information on how to take care of those relaxed ends and natural roots. I'm ready to take this transitioning journey and why not do it with company?
