Most of you know I am always going through the motions with my hair! All I want is healthy hair. I've gone from a short tress to it being past my shoulders. I just can't get comfortable. My hair has been chemically treated since I was 11 years old. I tried to go natural once before, however I was single and trying to get a date and alot of black men in Sacramento don't like natural black women. Anyway, I was back to processed hair and had a few dates. Looking back on it now it was not worth it. So now here I am in full circle back to a natural look and not concerned whether black men like it or not. It's been about 6 months since I've had my hair staightened I cut the processed hair off at the end of May 2006 to only an inch and had it braided up since October. I've been wearing my afro out.Now that I'm older I can see how gorgeous my natural hair is and it's just how I want it, HEALTHY! I got a little over 5 1/2 inches of strong, soft, kinky, curly hair that I feel I have to reacquaint myself with. I don't put any heat to it I just keep it conditioned and groomed. Because it is 5 and a few inches tall I wear a head band and pack it down a little to give it some shape.I love it! No more dry brittle hair that breaks faster than it grows or using products that only make my hair LOOK healthy. I am using a hair growth formula and it grows close to an inch a month which is a lot for my type of hair. I comb it out and put two French braids in it before I go to bed so it doesn't hurt to comb it the next day. Oh, if you are a sista and you are thinking about going natural the one thing I wish someone would have told me was to purchase some detangling leave-in conditioner spray. It makes a huge difference.With all the changes I have taken my hair through, from haircuts that look like an accident to a million tiny braids that's a pain to put in and take out, I've learned to accept it just the way it is...
Now if I could only loose 15 pounds!!
I have pictures of my fro...I'll try to get them posted soon.

I am anxiously awaiting my daughters arrival to be able to put the hours of practice I have had with a AA mannequin head to work... (We call her sistah Rosna!!!)
