Just kidding.
I’m back and unfortunately the website’s progress is not where it should be. Meanwhile, I’ll continue to post entries.
Here’s a quick update. I’ve set an appointment with the hairdresser but not for a relaxer, just to get it straightened and trimmed. I haven’t had a trim since I BC’d back in Nov. 2007. Can [...]

Meet My Friend Moisture!
If you’re transitioning…you’re probably still wondering how to make your hair more manageable and your edge’s naps less noticeable. Drama.
Braids never hurt nobody. (Yes, double negative.) But if braids, crinkles, and twist-like hairstyles are getting old, try simply wearing it back and maintaining moisture. I think wearing it back will get you accustomed to not having free flowing [...]

Flashback
I know earlier I grunted about not transitioning and just cutting it all of at first glance of new growth – but don’t do that. I recant. If I could do it all over again, would I transition? Absolutely, but not for so long.
I think 3-4 months is great because it gives you a sense [...]

Scab Hair?!
Who knew?? I’m telling you – when you seek, you really do find. Apparently there’s a term called “scab hair” which is the new-grow hair that grows out after a perm. Scab hair is not like your true texture. It is drier, rougher, and possibly harder to manage.
If you’re transitioning right now and still roughly [...]

Okay I Lied
So I found some pics (on my phone) and realized that I did take some typical transitioning methods. Very few…very, very few. Besides my research, here’s a snippet of how I transitioned to natural! Sorry but they’re small. This is the only way that I could actually upload them.
Last relaxer. Sister in the back doing hair. Hi [...]

Being natural is not bad at all. Its just different.

Big Chop Take 2.1
So yesterday I went to the barber and he trimmed it down.
I went home and gave myself my first honey/olive oil deep condition. After letting it sit for about two hours, I rinsed it out. I wasn’t sure if I should’ve used shampoo because the some shampoo (particularly the ones with cones) would undue my [...]

What’s a Successful Transition?
I have no idea. But let me tell you about my drama with transitioning back to natural. Every website that I visited mentioned breakage and slightly forewarned me of other issues but let’s keep it real for a second…
Breakage is a beast!! Not like, “wow, some of my hair is following out” or “my ends [...]

I Just Cut My Hair
Its 9:41 and I should be studying for my exam coming up in 8 days but guess what, I just cut my hair. I look crazy but I’m free.
I called my best friend so she could talk me out of it but it didn’t work. OMG…am I gonna regret this in the morning? Oh well, [...]
