I am a transitioner. I am a natural hair fan. I love fashion. I adore bags. My heart skips a beat for a sexy pump. My mind races when it comes to politics, especially issues affecting Africa and the Caribbean, and world events. I grasp my humanity because of philanthropy.
And I enjoy talking about all of these things, not necessarily in that order.
I might even talk about other random things as they strike me. So I started this blog....
I will probably land a lot on (natural) hair though because well, I'm sooooo into it.
Today I just want to talk briefly about transitioning. For those who don't know, transitioning is when you transition from a relaxer (or curly perm or jheri curl) to natural hair. I decided to go natural in February of this year. My last relaxer was November 13, 2009. So, I have been transitioning for ~10 months. Yaaay me!!
How long will I transition? Until December. Why? Don't really know why I chose December, but I know that I did back in February. And because I'm random like that, I keep my promises, even those that I make to myself...when no one is around. If I don't like the length, well, that will be another story. I'll talk about what I'll do if that happens...in another blog post.
How am I doing it? Lace front wigs are the Truth. I don't use glue or tape (just bobby pins) and I still can wash my hair weekly and touch my scalp daily. Ah, the little things in life.
Why am I going natural? Now that's a question for another blog, but in short: because relaxers are the DEVIL! *for my hair* lol don't you love it when people do that? They say something really bad about a product, technique, etc. and then qualify it with "for my hair." Like that makes the horrible/judgmental statement okay.
It's like: "No offense...but I think you're terribly grotesque! But, you know, no offense."
So yeah, no offense, but relaxers are the DEVIL....for me...so I am transitioning.
What about you? Are you transitioning? Natural? Relaxed? Do you have curly, kinky, wavy, or straight hair? What do you think about transitioning? About going natural?
And going forward, what do you want me to talk about? Leave a comment or email me at thenicchronicles@gmail.com.
Two Fingers. Sideways.
