Vanity is thy name

I am so loving my hair these days. I twisted it last night with shea butter for the first time and then did a twist out.. my hair is nice and fluffy and soft and I like it. Yesterday I WON!! a contest through Buttafly ULTD and I won a free I love my hair t-shirt. As soon as I get the shirt I will take a pic and share. I cant wait! Oh yeah and this weekend I am attending my first nappturality gathering - so I am excited about that as well. I cant wait!

One Hair Goal Achieved

So yesterday without even realizing it, I reached another hair goal- which iis being able to push my hair into a puff. I was able to push my hiar back with a band before but I wanted to be able to move it further back like I have seen other nappies do. And I really didnt even think I would get there this soon but alas I have.




My hair is still a lil sparse at the edges, I'm not sure if thats just the way it is or if its past braiding abuse or what but I have to baby it

My new styles

2005 Hair in Review

My hair has been a big thing for me this year…January 1st was the anniversary of the last perm I had so it’s been a year with no perm…that is huge for me. Initially I had said that I would transition for a year – meaning no perms for a year but wearing braids to help me with that but mid-year I gave up the fight. I couldn’t do it anymore. I cut in June and then again in August and again in September, now I am growing it out. I’m learning so much about my hair and what it does and I love it…each and every nap. The hardest part of this journey was NOT getting the support from L who totally hated the fact that I cut my hair off, and even though he threatened to leave me…lol he stayed. I had to do what I had to do for me. I couldn’t take the perms, the wraps, the roller sets, the burning the dandruff the rules to having a perm….I couldn’t. I have never in my life felt so free. I can walk in the rain and it don’t mean a thing and I can wear it curly or blow it out and rock the fro and I feel true to myself and who I am and I’m in the place that I always wanted to be. I’m loving it. Nadia and Nicole if your reading this….you can do it too you know…. To all the transitioners…you can do it!!! LOL ok….

I think I’m done although I know I will remember something later on. I have a hair journal too in case anyone wants to check it out aside from my other blog attached to this one. The URL is http://fotki.com/nubesque. I cant wait to see what the new year holds for me…Happy New Year ya’ll!
