The Revolution Has Begun!

I have started this blog to track my journey as I transition from a life of chemical dependency (i.e. relaxers) to a world of hair freedom. For many years I have worked hard to maintain the facade of straight hair that relaxers offer. I have cringed at the thought of having kinky edges and longed for the perfectly straight hair that bounces in the wind when you walk...lol. All for what...a head full of unhealthy hair. Now mind you I don't frequent the beauty salon often, as it is costly and time consuming. I am sure my hair would be healthier if I were getting my chemical fixes from a licensed cosmetologist. But, I am at a point where I no longer want to proceed as usual. I have prayed for the discipline to stay on this journey and a "whatever" mindset when dealing with those who have not yet joined the revolution. I am just 1 week into this transition and it has already been prophesied by the naysayers that I will quickly revert back to my chemical dependent ways. Prayerfully I will be successful in my transition and finally get to know my real hair. Ultimately it doesn't matter what anyone thinks and yes this will push me way beyond my comfort zone...but in the end I plan to have "The Best Head Ever"!
