So its official I’ve been natural for two whole years. It
feel like yesterday when I just decided to transition and grow my relaxed hair
out. Sometimes the transition was tough, especially on those days when the
roller set just didn’t look super cute or when I flattened my hair while
sleeping on it. As much as I love my hair to look good, I will not sacrifice my rest
for it!

I also went through a traumatic, bout of seborrheic dermatitis
last year that resulted in hair loss in the front of my head because I tried to
treat it myself. The good news on that front is that my hair is resilient and
is not holding any grudges. ;-) It’s growing back and I can’t even tell where the
loss happened, except for the shorter hairs.

Now I’m looking forward to many years of natural glory and
springy curls with personality. I guess what I’ve learned so far is that you
have to take care of yourself, pay attention to the needs of your body and hair
and most of all be proud of everything that makes you unique.
Where are you at in your journey? What has it been like for you?
Blessings and Curls,
B-Curlie
