History: I've been natural since 2005. I can't even remember the last time I got a perm. I decided to go natural because I was broke and couldnt afford the salon visits for the bi-weekly trim. So during that time I said eff perms and hello BRAIDS. Well, I thought braids were going to be the end all and be all of my hair care.
Its not.
During that time I wasn't taking care of my braids as I should have. I've been re-braiding my hair every 2 months and I've been really inconsistent treating my natural hair right. I think its was because I didnt like nappy hair, so I didn't care for my hair.
That all changed during the summer of 2008.
During that time, I decided to introduce the world to my natural hair. So I spent over $100 dollars getting my hair cut and styled in a cute fro that lasted two weeks.
Never again.
It was hard to manage and I felt sooo ugly. It was a definite trying time for me.
Fastfoward to 2009, and I've been reading different blogs about how to take care of your natural hair. Who KNEW there was a wealth of information on how to care for your kinks? Well I decided to take the jump and go full force with embracing my naps and taking care of my hair.
So I went out an ordered a bunch of oils(peppermint, olive, rosemary, cedarwood, thyme) so I can use them in various methods to aid my hair growth.
I even purchsed multi-vitamins that are benefical to hair growth.
I'm pumped!
Now I want my hair to look like this but BIGGER:
However, since my hair isnt there YET, I will be wearing one of these:
That's my goal, so this blog is going to document my journey through nappiness.
