Im.a.Star- I STRAIGHTENED MY HAIR

Im.a.Star- I STRAIGHTENED MY HAIR
My name is Simone and I am a recent graduate from the University of Florida. GO GATORS!! I have been photo stalking many naturals on fotki... and FINALLY decided to create one of my own to track my transitioning process.

Besides that...
I have decided to go natural for the following reasons:
-Even at its healthiest, my permed hair is hella fragile. It breaks. Not cool.
-I absolutely HEART big, curly, wild hair. I believe thats what Im meant to have.
-I was diagnosed with alopecia areata last summer. I received steriod injections to stimulate the hair growth but highly doubt perming my hair every 6-8 weeks would help the process
-I want to have hair when I'm 45. I believe if I continued perming my hair the rest of my life... baldness could very well by my destiny.

Last Perm: September 2007
BC: MAY 27, 2008

*Sign my guestbook*... i definitely welcome any thoughts/concerns/questions. With that being said... im out!
--Simone
Laugh as much as you breathe. Love as long as you live.

I just wanted to thank all the beautiful women on fotki for being such inspirations in my natural hair journey. Your comments and support is appreciated more than words could express.
