One Year REAL HAIR Anniversary!

I have been fully natural now (no permed hair on my "crown")  for one year and 2 months. It feels AMAZING!!!! It it the BEST thing I have ever done in my 20 years alive. It is a decision I can thoroughly say  I am proud of.

When I was around 6 or 7, my twin and I began to get perms. I do not remember whose idea it was but if my older self had been a fly on the wall it would have NEVER happen. I now have a permanent, shiny bald spot the size of a dime in the center of my head on my scalp. No hair follicles, no nothing! That happened 13 years ago when I first moved to RVA. It is the perfect example for ALL as to why you should not put chemicals in your hair to straighten it. We were not born with straight hair, so why alter it? Damaging effects come with perming your hair if not taken care of properly and I can definitely attest to that.

I feel like a lot has been revealed to me since I began to rock my own hair.

Here is a video the day after after my 1 year REAL hair anniversary. Yes, I said REAL. I like that term a little better.




I strongly encourage all beautiful black women and young girls to make that change if they are debating it. It only benefits you. If you are not ready, you will know. When you are it will be even more evident. Don't do it because someone is pressuring you but because someone is encouraging you!
