I'm a mom of a 2 year old son and a five month old daughter and decided to go natural before trying to get pregnant with my son in order to avoid passing on chemicals to him during my pregnancy. I had tried go natural two times before because I have psoriasis on my scalp and would get burned easily, but I ended up resorting back to a relaxer for a "special occassion." This time I had my last relaxer in May 2006 and transitioned for about two years. I wore my hair in flat twists, braids or had it blown out and flat ironed. I am now trying to learn how to do my hair myself without blowing it out straight. When I found out I was having a girl, I decided to teach myself how to braid and style my own hair, so that I will know how to do hers when her hair grows out.
