THROWBACK! So much versatility. My natural journey started in 2009 and I haven’t looked back since. I transitioned for 10 months and BC’d in 2010. I’m knocking on 5 years natural and loving my journey every step of the way (even the epic fails).
And Now – embracing my new hair cut and fresh start!



I used the large peach perm rods in front, grey & tangerine one along the side and back.

‘Black girls don’t cut their hair.’
That was my understanding growing up. It didn’t matter if our ends were all chewed up, or if there was a gang of broken hairs posted up all on our sweaters, sinks and pillows, or even if our long hair was healthy and you truly desired a short, chic cut– it just wasn’t an option. We were taught that long hair was THE standard of beauty, hands down… and perhaps worse, that our hair wouldn’t grow back. Seems absurd now, no? #NaturalForLife
