Going Natural Part One - The First Hair Cut

My first offical step in my journey to going back natural. I needed to be able to style my hair myself. So, I decided to gradually cut my hair instead of all at once. This will allow me to start removing the relaxer part of my hair, but still be able to take care and style my hair

on my own.

Going Natural...The Master Plan

When I was 16 I got my first relaxer. Less than six months later I wanted my hair to be natural again. I had enquired about how to go back natural and everyone had told me I had to basically start from scratch by cutting my hair every short. I was not willing to part with my long so, I kept relaxing my hair for the past three years.

During my freshman year in college it was really on my heart to start going back natural. I had started doing some more research on the topic online and asking some other hair dressers. And found that cutting my hair boy short was not necessary. So long as I took care of my hair and be mindful of my dual textured hair I can grow my hair out until the natural part of my hair was at a length I was comfortable cutting the relaxed part of my hair.

So, in March of 2010 I received my last perm, and in January I devised my plan for going natural. Over the 18 months I will embark on my official journey transitioning from relaxed to natural, and I want to share the journey with you. In January 2011 I will cut my hair in a bob. From January 2011 to August 2011 I will go my hair out getting another hair cut in August. And in June 2012 if the natural part of my hair is long enough, I will cut all remaining perm out of my hair.

Being Me

At one point girls were told to stay quiet because temptation lied within their voice...but what happened when their closed lips lead men to "distracting" thoughts.

I was told that I can’t hide my emotions because my eyes always gave me away.

Now I try to hide them so I don’t reveal too much of myself.

Saturday Nite at the Movies

I was looking through some of my old notebooks during my fall cleaning and found a list of random facts about the different months. I must have been really bored that day. Anyway, instead of doing a post about Halloween, I was going to do one on popcorn because October is popcorn popping month. Soon after I realized that popcorn wasn’t that interesting. So I figured nothing goes better with popcorn than movies. So this month I present to you outfits inspired by the Wizard of Oz and Moulin Rouge. And hey, if you need an inta costume for a party, Vua-La.

Dorthy

With Dorothy I created two looks. The first look consists of blue and white gingham tunic and with white leggings, red patent leather cork wedges and a straw tote. The second is dressier with a dark blue plain strapless dress, red suede stiletto sandals, and a gold basket weaved clutch.

The Scar Crow

My Scare Crow is a cropped distressed boyfriend jeans paired with a denim boyfriend button down shirt. Brown strappy sandals, a leather rope belt, and straw fedora complete the look.

The Tin Man

Once again I did two looks. Essentially both looks are all silver with a tough of red, but what is different are the finishes. With the first look the sequins tunic and metallic legging add a lot of shine, so I toned it down with a mate wool and cashmere jacket and suede booties. The second look on the other hand has mostly finish with a hint of shine from the metallic braided belt and rhinestone pin.
