On May 9, 2015, I decided to start my natural hair journey…AGAIN! lol This is my 3rd attempt, but you know what they say “3 times a charm”. I have decided to take a trip on this journey because I wanted to do something different with my hair. If you have known me for a little while, you know that I am your typical wash, blow dry, and flat iron type of girl.

I am in a place in my life where I want to try stuff that I have never tried before. I am in a place where I want to give up on one last thing: Giving Up. This time, I am starting with my hair.

I’ve decided to embrace what God gave me: my beautiful locks, my crown of glory. This is not only a natural hair journey but it is also a spiritual journey for me.

It has been a little over year since I first started my journey. It has definitely had it’s fair share of ups and down but I wouldn’t take any of this moments back. This journey is so important to me because it has taught me some big lessons that go so far beyond hair. The journey has taught me commitment and perseverance. It has taught me that dead things can come live again but I will not go there with y’all just yet! 🙂

I have always had naturally curly, thick, long hair, but so many of my beautiful curls became heat damaged 😦 In my attempt to reverse my heat damage, I have decided to try to transition…for now. I am NOT ready what so ever for the big chop…as of now. However, I do plan on gradually chopping away my straight ends because my curls are ready to flourish and to live again!

UPDATE: In the picture below, the picture to left was taken of my hair soaking wet in July 2015. The picture on the left was taken in June 2016 soaking wet.

Stay tuned 🙂
