This has been a wonderful and exciting journey. My journey with my natural hair began almost 3.5 years ago. My journey was fueled out of sheer desperation. After years of relaxers , my hair had begun to show the signs of extreme damage. The top portion of my hair was so thin that I had begun to look for ways to disguise my scalp . My scalp was clearly visible through my thin strands. Not knowing anything else to do I began to wear pony tail pieces. That was my choice for what I know realize was the beginning of my transition. I wore "phony ponies" for nearly 1 year. I never did a full " big chop" , but I would cut an inch of hair at a time. During that time my thought was to simply 'cut it all out". It took about 9 months before I was relaxer free. I had no idea what was to come after "it " was all gone.
I had no idea that I would begin this wondrous journey of self acceptance. I had no idea that out of my scalp grew this glorious coif that I completely adore.
