...Ask Me A Question...

I KNOW how hard transitioning can be, especially if you're going it alone or when family and friends may not be as supportive as you would like...

 

Although I don't claim to be an expert,  I've been through it, the highs and lows and I always think it's better to learn from someone else's mistakes rather than repeating someone else's. I had a transitioning buddy throughout most of my transition and she was amazingly helpful 

- Thanks Chadae & EVERYONE else who helped me :)

So, I'm willing to lend an ear to anyone who's currently struggling or needs a little advice or just a chat :)

Like a said - no expert but feel free to leave me a comment or email me here

 Whilst looking through my transition pictures this afternoon I found these pictures.

In Pictures... My Hair: Relaxed To Natural

May 2010 - my last relaxer. 

 I grew my hair out for 19 months (also called transitioning) before I was comfortable cutting away the relaxed ends of my hair and becoming au naturale. 

Transitioning was a big thing for me,  before I relaxed my hair my Mum used to do my hair, so I couldn't quite recall what my natural hair was like, I didn't know what to expect, I didn't know whether I would be able to cope with it, or if I'd even like it! Lots of my friends couldn't understand why I wanted to do it as I had "nice, long hair which I was going to ruin". 

 But it was something I wanted to do, I wanted healthy hair and felt my hair would be much healthier sans relaxer. So, I gave myself 6 months to begin with, if I couldn't cope within that time I'd continue relaxing. What can I say... 6 months FLEW by.
