Transitioning
Hi to all my natural sister and those who are transitioning. I found Nappturality while researching on the net. I was inspired by two of my sisters to go natural. Both of my sisters are in the transitioning phase. My reasons for going natural are to have healthy hair. I have never had a problem growing my hair. I love the short haircuts I had in the past. But for some reason my hair sheds alot. I have seen many of the videos on youtube. I feel with the support of my sisters I will be great with my natural hair. I'm so excited to take this journey. I was one of those people who grew up getting relaxers. My mother didn't put them in my hair. She would wash our hair once a week and keep it braided. But when I moved in with my father and step-mother this is when the relaxers began. I was told this was the only way to make my hair more manageable. Well I no longer feel this way. My last relaxer was in November 2010. I know that it hasn't been that long. Enough of my history. I look forward to gaining the knowledge to keep my hair healthy and relaxer free.
