I DID IT!

I finally did my BIG CHOP! && I must say I LOVE it! At first it was a shock but I feel so free now & I have this new pep in my step LOL so let me give you the story....

In the beginning I didnt plan to go natural, I just decided to not relax my hair for awhile lol...I had my last relaxer in March 2009 and basically I was just washing and flat ironing constantly to make the new growth be as bone straight as possible. I'm a youtube fanatic lol so one day as I was browsing videos about best ways to wrap hair I saw a video of a young lady talking about her natural hair and after that I was hooked, I started researching and learning more about natural hair and from that I began my official "transition" I wore braidouts for most of my transition and I tried strawsets a few times but wasnt really good at doing them myself...then in August 09 I started reading and BC'ing and me being so used to my hair being long smacked my lips and decided I would just transition until I couldnt anymore lol...but then I started seeing those curls pop up everytime I would wash my hair! && it was all she wrote!! I called a few natural salons to see about setting an appt but every salon was far away I got a little discouraged but on October 10, 2009 after I got out of work I just went to the mirror grabbed my scissors and started cutting!! ( a few grunts and groans and "I can't believe it!") But I absolutely love it.

So I'm going to start a blog/vlog about my journey! Hopefully it's insightful for some of you out there!

Here is cute little video/slideshow I made about my transition!! Enjoy
