Going Natural was something I always heard everyone around me talking about! To be honest it got on my last NERVE! I was tired of hearing about the movement. I knew that TEAM PERM would always and I mean alwayyyyyyys be for me! I didn't even like the idea of kinky or as some say, which is completely wrong! (nappy hair) I liked having my every 2 weeks blow out and every 6 weeks relaxer. I felt that having a relaxer made me look more professional, beautiful and fierce. I could never imagine not having my hair blow in the wind. You see my personal experience with having natural hair was based on my childhood. I didn't know anything about having natural hair. I just knew that all the popular, pretty, girls had the straight hair. I wanted to fit in with them. Sadly I didn't see the beauty God created me to be. I saw what society wanted me to be. Having a relaxer goes deeper than the roots. It can be a mental as well. Mentally, I felt that a relaxer made me better. When really it didn't. I went through several experiences in my childhood that made me reject my hair. Can you believe it! Rejecting my own crown!!!! I was afraid of what grew out of my head! Any chance I felt my roots growing in I ran to the beauty shop to get that RELAXER. My wake up call came when I got sick and tired of my hair sweating out when I worked out. Plus all my friends continued to encourage me to go natural! They kept pointing out the beauty in being natural. Don't get me wrong, they also pointed out that it would be an adjustment and hard work. I truly appreciate their support, because a seed was planted. That seed birthed the desire for change and confidence. You see I tried transitioning my hair at least two times before getting a perm. The last transition worked! This year, 2017, I was finally liberated and set free!! YASSSS! My identity was restored and I learned to love all of me. This is a daily thing ya'll! Well, this was a little part of my first experience! Thank you for listening! Stay tuned in for more! Like and Share!
