The Beginning

Hello! Thanks for visiting my first blog spot! OK so here goes! I graduated in May and I quit my job in June. Most people will think I am crazy for doing that but where I worked drove me crazy and turned me into a completely different person! Oh well that is water under the bridge. Well after I quit my job, I had a lot of time to myself and I had a lot of time to think and reflect on who I am and who I want to be(I am still in this process!). Well one thing that I decided that I wanted to be is NATURAL! You know, I did not want to relax my hair anymore. It has always been a thought in my mind but I just blew it off because I have been trained to think that "GOOD HAIR" is "STRAIGHT HAIR"! OMG! Who made this rule!? Well it has been 2 months since I have had a relaxer! I have never felt better! Just judging the new growth that I have, my hair is going to be strong and BEAUTIFUL! Now some may think, "What are you thinking?". Well what I am thinking is that I have spent so much time trying to get my hair straight that I didn't notice that my hair was breaking and being damaged by this chemical! All I was concerned with was how straight my hair was! But during this down time I have discovered myself! The straightness of my hair does not define me! I have come to the conclusion that we are the only culture that does not embrase our natural hair texture and we really should! I am in trasition right now and the difference between my relaxed hair and natural hair is like night and day! And I am going to love day! I AM NOT MY HAIR!
