So about 2yrs ago I decided I was going to start taking care of my hair. It was damaged, brittle and downright depressing.
I started stretching my relaxers. Once I saw my texture, I fell in love and wanted to go natural. I didn't want to do a big chop, so i just got a short cut after transitioning for a few months.
I liked it short and wore it like this for a while. Then around July/August I decided to grow my hair out.

My hair journey is not only for myself, its for every woman searching for strong, healthy hair.
One of my best friends once said, "One thing I never understood about God is why every other race has nice, long pretty hair, and black women don't?" That question messed me up in more ways than one. So this journey is for that friend, because with God all is possible and I thank him for the hair I have, and the hair he is still blessing me with.
Doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result is insanity, so the relaxer had to go!
