 | BIG CHOP MAY 7, 2008!
Hey! My name says it all, I LOVE languages, traveling, and learning about different cultures. I'm a well-rounded girl. I adore my family and close friends. I enjoy meeting new people, reading, dancing, watching movies, COOKING, catching up on sleep, and hanging with my sorority sisters (Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc)!
Originally born in Lexington, South Carolina, I migrated up to Chicago and lived there for most of my life (16 years to be exact). I eventually ended up moving back down south for college and to settle. Now I'm off to live in California and I'm super excited!
I've lived in Spain and I'm working on getting a Master's Degree in International Policy Studies with a specialization in International Negotiation and Conflict Resolution. Fun!
I joined this site to post photos of my transition back to my "roots" (curly roots that is :) and to learn about products and techniques that other ladies are doing to ease their process. I'm sick of flat irons and will probably never straighten my hair again once it is fully curled. I've had it with heat damage! My last straightening month was January 29, 2008. (My hair was so damaged by the heat that it is permanently straight except for the newgrowth. Flat irons did me in, NOT RELAXERS). I BC'd on May 7th, 2008 and I'm ready for a fabulous journey back to naturalness!
Please feel free to share your regimens, products, and ideas that would help my dry, damaged, hair return to its natural moisturized state!
I'm taking a multivitamin. Yay! Hopefully this will help maintain my health inside and out!
Short term growth goal = 4 inches longer by December 2008
Mid-term growth goal = 10 inches by next May 2009
REALLY Long term growth goal = 36 inches in 6 years (May of 2014)...... | | General Information | | Profile Type: | Personal | | Gender: |  Female | | Age: | 24 | | Tags: | big chop, delta sigma theta, natural hair, curls | | Languages: | English, Spanish, French, Latin, Portugeuse, Some Italian and Some Japanese (know enough to be dangerous!!) | | I'm here for: | Photo sharing, Friends, Networking | | Contact Information | | Personal website: | www.facebook.com | | My Cities | | Current: |  United States | | Hometown: | United States | | Birthplace: | United States | | Also lived in: |  Spain, Salamanca | | Spain, Madrid | | United States, Illinois, Park Forest | | United States, South Carolina | | United States, Georgia | | United States, California, Salinas | | Background & Lifestyle | | Sexual orientation: | Straight | | Smoking: | Non-smoker | | Drinking: | I never drink | | Children: | I don't have kids yet | | Education: | Grad/professional school | | Ethnicity: | Black/African descent | | Body type: | Average | | Height: | Taller than average | | Religion: | Christian - other | | Interests & Personality | | Interests: | Cooking, Traveling, Speaking other languages, Dancing, Reading, Watching movies, Eating, Spending time with family and friends, and catching up on sleep. | | Sports: | Basketball, Soccer, and Track and Field | | Music: | House, Electronica, Classical, Flamenco, Jazz, R & B, Some rap, Salsa, Merengue | | Movies: | All Star Wars, All Lord of the Rings, All Matrix movies, All Spike Lee movies, Foreign Film, and many more... | | Television: | Anything ON DEMAND! | | Heroes: | THE LORD, My cousin Patience, BJ, and Tiffy, My Daddy, My Mommy, My Sisters, My Nephew and Niece, My Grandma and Grandpa, and My Aunts!! | | Books: | Kinky Gazpacho, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, Zane books, Eric Jerome Dickey books, Trashy Harlequin Novels, Teach Like Your Hair is on Fire, Danielle Steele books...anything interesting... | | Friends: | Adis, AFashionSlave, Shortiedowop aka zzirvingj!, The Curl to the DST *8/20/08 updates*, Nybabee1718...some updates, Peachtree, *jenteel ~ 7/31*, AfroLatina, ~IRIS~, NappyDiva7, zoerabbit, Nelle *www.prettyprops.etsy.com*, Erin, Sistaslick, Chicoro, so1913 (Albums Open!), Footsie, micarae ***No more updates after 2008***, Spiral, REE', Godsgem ~ I have updates 7/15/08, Mejayt *Mini Update*, *:* Peachtree *:*, UMBlessedBeauty_1, Cherry, reggie, *SWEET***See you back in July***, Lina40, nurseN98, Donna Sylla, Curli~, Cichelle, jejora82(NappyGlo) Updated **1 May 2008**, JustBe *Updates on 8-24-08*, Tenkei * 8/16 Update* Flat twists done, AuNappturale, **AllieNicole ADD allienicole2**, merisitamun, Bublnbrnsuga, Godsflowerrr, Jazzi, Kinkerbelle, AngelNapps Hiatus...Contemplating LOCS!, Beehmyn, Lauren450, ~*Natural Beauty~*, jada1111, ILuvCurlz, Shatani: The Sequel, ♥ NappyLove: UPDATED: 4 SEP 2008 ♥, Tarin88*Massive updates 7/12*, ♥ ♥Lvgurl -Its a girl! - due dec 10th ♥ âÂ, kblc06-Updated 08/25/08 Brand NEW UPDATES!!, phillygyrl, BahiyaBrown, Doctoramorena (officially a doctora!), Virtuousjewel Obama 08~~8\24 NEW SKIN CARE ALBUM~~, BabyDee, Mar8613, Latinegra, Classydemi, ~*Frumny2nc*~, NaturalRemedy, Prototype1913, Cocorita, Cricket Wonderlily, Rica aka Choconillaprincess, Latinafro ~Hair Haitus til 09~, Samone, ^_^ LeChatRouge ^_^ (now in COLOR!), Naturally-C - Updated 8/2, ~Lovemenatural~ 08/05/08 Update, Prttygirl6- **UPDATES 6/30/08**, Aijo, Ms-gg, MizzErin, All BrandNew Updates Coming this weekend&next week, HairGrower, JayBby04 ****Updates 8/18/08****, Felicia Aka Drugz(Newly Natural), Memee1978, Savoy23, ***Ysheena***No updates until November..Maybe?
