I have a two year old daughter and I have watched hair grow from the time she was born, cradle cap and all, until now and it is beautiful. One day I was putting a perm in my mother in-law's hair and my daughter said "mommy put it in my hair". I responded "No I will never be putting this in your hair it is beautiful just the way it is. At the same time I had to check my self, how will I be able to explain to my little girl why she can't get a perm if mommy has one, it just would not be fare. I realized that my daughter will be emulating me and so I have to be an example all the way around even when it comes to my hair. So I am getting off the creamy crack to show my little girl that she does not have to look like the pictures in hair magazines or on TV our hair is beautiful in it's natural state. I am liberated through my daughter so I am thanking her for making mommy realize how amazing my own hair was and give the drive to go ahead a do this thing.

New Beginnings
I decided to go natural after bringing my forth child home from the hospital on Feb 26, 2010, right after we settled in at home I went into the bathroom a cut my hair off, my BC. I'm FREE! =). This is not my first natural experience though, when I was in school and prego with my daughter in 2007 I was all natural for about 1 year and 3 months. What made me go back to relaxers? Well I saw this cute cut that I just had to have, so I thought... That was a big mistake perming my hair for a haircut? What was I thinking? Well anyway here I am now new baby, new hair and I am feeling pretty good. I LOVE my Curls always have and always will just had to learn to appreciate and take care of them. Now after all the studying, reading, and classes I've done on natural hair I am on a roll and excited about this journey once again.
