I have been embracing my natural hair since July 2008! I did not go thru the transition process (too slow) I just big chopped. I learned so much about my hair. I decided to loc in January 09. My hair grew so fast. I was so impressed with the growth that I took down my locs and PERMED in August 09......HUGE MISTAKE!
In January 2010, I once again big chopped. I will never PERM my hair again! This time around the growth has been slow (I think its punishment for perming, lol) I will not loc so quick this time around. Being a Nappy Diva is so Liberating!!
