Welcome, welcome, welcome thank you for tuning in and showing your faces to my lovely website. My name is Porsche and I have decided to go natural off and on for about 2years now. However as of August 7th 2013 I decided to give it my all or nothing. As months start passing by I realize I haven't been going to the beautician to get my relaxer. Now I always go every 6 months (Which is twice a year to get my touch ups) but after my last visit to the salon I was discuss my hair with my beautician and she's like "honestly you really don't need to get a relaxer you hair is can live with out." My thoughts where "nooooooooo, she kidding I know she not trying to deny my services lol " and "Oh no my hair w/o a relaxer is even way more thicker and too difficult to manage!!!" Unt unt no way "ain't nobody got time for that!!!!" Haha (I just had to say it). Anyways after that visit somehow, someway I ended up slowly forget about making hair appointments, and another thing I have even stop using my flat iron since then too. Funny I know right, but just last month I was like "I really think I'm just going to go ALL natural no ifs, ands, or buts, about it plus o know it's more healthier for my hair. NOT TO SAY RELAXING YOUR HAIR IS WRONG, I mean it is what it is but just speaking on my hair that's all.
With that being said, I as of today my last relaxer was 6 months and 24 days. (Yea which is what I'm use to since as I said before I always been getting a touch up every 6 months) So this isn't too bad it's just I definitely can tell the difference in my hair it has become way more thicker at the top the new growth just keep popping up here, there, and over there lol. Just imagine a head full of big puff ball at the top, you know how us ladies look when I new growth tries to creep on in. Be trying to lay it down with anything in sight. Grease, gel, headbands, scarfs, etc. Haha but not me well for the most part, I just keep it pin up in a loose ponytail (with a headband glol). So I been doing plenty of research on my wavy journey, I have been going Google crazy with that search bar for like a month. Reading reviews and forums on other women of color who are also in the process of going natural or have been natural. Reading the ups and Downs, the tears and joy, and so on about becoming natural. I myself personally think it's a beautiful experience (if I can just stay consistent ) only reason I was not consistent two Years ago because of the negative looks and comments I received it really had made me Shut down and be ashamed of my real texture of hair Which I turn right back to that creamy crack lol and had to have the relaxer. Lately my whole outlook on my decision this time around has been "SCREW YOU THIS IS MY HEAD NOT YOURS" sorry ladies but that's what my mindset has been I no longer care about what everyone else thinks I have been more focus on loving whats real and whats all mine.
So let me just give you the 411 on my hair, it's about middle of my back and just last year I wanted to try something new so I decided to added a little color. I'm a jet black hair woman, so at first I was a little skeptical about it because that's how I was born I never had color in my hair. I didn't want anything that was over the top or way far from my complexion (I'm dark skin) so there's no way I should be trying walking around with pink, orange, blue hair.... com'on let's be real that just ugly, but anyways I didn't want my whole hair to be colored or highlighted. So I went with the ombre look just colors on my ends, it's like a mocha brown (I'll have to post pics). But after awhile I got bored with that lol and I stop getting them touch up as well, so slowly the color is leaving on my ends Which I don't mind at all because I'm trying to get rid of it anyway lol.
So what now.....whelp that's why you guys are here lol, I really just want some support because I kinda have been lost in trying to find out how I should maintain my hair considering I DON'T want to do the "big chop" and start from scratch instead I decided to take the "transitioning " approach and dealing with two textures let me just say has not been easy but I'm hanging in there. So if you have any suggestions, comments, or testimonials you like to share feel free to leave me a message. Thank you I appreciate it, also good to luck to you all who are on a hair journey as well a healthier life journey I wish you the best. Hang on in there, we are in this together. Peace.
