When I was younger I was trained into thinking that straight or chemically permed hair was best. So for years I sat in my grandmother's kitchen and got my hair pressed and eventually chemically relaxed.

After many, many, many, many years of chemical abuse, I made up my mind and turned my back on chemicals and cut off 8 - 9 inches of permed hair (yup I had shoulder length hair/almost BSL and cut it all off....talk about dedication!!). What was left on my head was approximately 1 inch of cottony soft, kinky, curly napps.

But I wasn't completely free....I relapsed and applied a texturizer to my hair. What was I thinking??? Although I suffered no real damage from the text....I nixed that too and eventually cut the text out of my hair slowly. Now I'm working with my God given natural hair.

I'm on year 2, working towards year 3 of being natural and I can honestly say I'm in love with my hair. My hair is thin and fine, but you can't tell when I wear twist-outs (which are my favorite style).

My regimen is real simple: co-wash every weekend; clarify and deep condition every other weekend; apply moisturizer and essential oil as needed. K-I-S-S...keep it simple. No combing and no direct heat. And I've my Denman brush is my new best friend...it really brings out my curlies!

To all my natural sistah's:
Wear your Afro's, shake 'n go's, twists, braids and coils with pride!!!
Don't allow your natural journey to be soiled by those who don't understand.

BE NAPPY, BE NATURAL AND BE PROUD!!!!

Last perm: ??? (I wore braids for about 3-4 months before I cut all the perm out).
