Au Natural

Transition phase-Senegalese twists

Well, I finally did it!  After transitioning for 16 months, all relaxed end are are gone! I am 100% Au-natural!  April of 2010 was my last relaxer.  I cut my relaxed ends off August 6, 2011.

One day after "BIG CHOP"

During my transition, I mainly wore braids, more specifically Senegalese twists.  Wearing the twists made the transition period easier for me.  I was not tempted to put a relaxer in my hair.  It also meant that after I cut the relaxed ends, I was not experienced with taking care of my natural hair.  Of course during the entire transition I followed bloggers and you tubers of the natural hair community.  Curly Nikki of www.curlynikki.com and Prettydimples www.youtube.com/prettydimples were very inspirational to me.  It was amazing to see these beautiful young ladies and their natural hairstyles.  I often couldn't wait to get home from work just to see what was on the site that day.  Thank you ladies for keeping me inspired during my transition.  If it weren't for you all, I wouldn't be naturally me!
