Oh I forgot to post pics of me LOL! It's day #2. I went through a lot of mixed emotions yesterday saying good bye to "Barbie". As you can see from my pic, I have always had a head full of straight hair. I wanted to embrace my natural hair texture and stop handing my hair stylist $200 to get my hair done LOL! It's exciting though. I have a few friends that are natural and I have longed to join them on their hair journey. Well, for my 43rd birthday I decided to take the "natural" plunge and go for the "Big Chop". I have never cut my hair this short before. Yesterday I stepped outside after cutting all my hair off and I felt the heat of the sun on my scalp and felt the breeze blowing through what was left of my hair. It felt so good and yet so unusual for me. I have been rubbing my head since yesterday. Now I know why my ex-boyfriend loved for me to rub his head LOL! This will no doubt be a challenge for me. I have been getting my hair straightened in one form or another since I was little. So, we'll see if I can let go of my "Barbie" ways. Oh how I loved my soft, silky, flowing hair. How I just loved to shake it out of my face or gently move it from my face with my finger tips. I was so extra when it came to my hair LOL! My goal is to not straighten my hair, but wear it in it's natural texture. I have like 4 different textures in my hair now. So, this ought to be interesting. I just hope I don't have one side curly and one side nappy LOL! The whole idea is to love my hair texture no matter what it is. And so it begins..... http://flpbd.it/cuPGT
