Twist Out Finale

Lol, I'm sorry that I did not post the pictures. When I thought about it, I thought I had done it already! Anyways here they are.

It turned out okay. I think next time I may do smaller twists, and then I can actually wear the twists for awhile. :)

March 25th, 2010. Doing a Twist Out

So I washed my hair and it just had this funny frizzy feeling and sure enough after I'm done, my hair is very frizzy with my relaxed hair. So annoying.

Well I am trying my first Twist outs tonight, so i hope they look good tomorrow. :) And my birthday is saturday so I am excited! I am turning 20!

So I finished my twist out, still in twists lol. I found a coiled piece of hair that I posted a picture of at top. And uh, I found many more of them, but I think because my hair frizzes, I can't see the definition of the curls, so it's very sad. :( I put curl activator in my hair and sealed with shea butter (liquid). So on to the pictures! Enjoy!

Childhood Pics

Can you believe I was only two in the third photo!?

In the first picture was my first relaxer. My hair was so long! And now, it has never been that length again, but maybe now I can get those results again.

Natural Hair Journey #2

I have got my last perm in August 2009, at which point I cut my hair.

The following pictures were taken September 12, 2009

My Natural Hair Journey Part #1

Posted September 6th, 2009

Every week I will update this (I try!) with new pictures of my wash and dried hair (I let my hair air dry so they will be a day apart) if time allows me to do so!

So I am not going natural because of a "fad" that people may believe is starting to emerge, or whatever trash you may think. And I am in no way encouraging other black females to rid the weaves or wigs, or the relaxers. You do you. I have never influenced anyone before anyways...Okay that's a lie but w/e.

When I was a wee lass As you can see in my baby photo, I had some thick hair for real, and it was just growing. My mom always did my hair in twists and put these cute colorful baubles in and though it hurt like hell, you know my hair was always stylin' afterwards (as a kid). But I was just tormented in school. When your a little girl stupid shit is just a torment right!? Nowadays I'm like...I seriously got mad at those losers? Anyways, I had to start somewhere. Everyone in middle school was getting their hair straightened, and I still had my thick hair poppin', so I was being made fun of for my hair, my weight (boy when I stopped growing all them calories was packing lmao), my glasses (real ugly frames n shit), my name, my boobs (went through puberty at 10-11), whatever you can think of I got called it! But my hair and glasses were the first things to start bothering me. So I begged my mom for years to rid me of the puffiness, of the curls, of the thick! I wanted straight long hair like everyone else!!!

So...on my 13th birthday my mom took me to the stylist. I don't remember the lady of the process, but I remember how silky long my hair was.....It came to rest on my chest, boy I was the talk after that! "Patrice! Your hair is so long! WOW!" ATTENTION!!?? WHATTT!!!??? Lmao! I was SO happy!!! Then...my hair started breaking...I got my hair cut to my shoulders and my hair has never been back to where it was originally...I want my longer hair back...I want to love what God gave me...And I promise to make my own kids love what God gave them! Unless they're mixed then I mean...what's there to say...Sorry I keeps it real.

So anywho on Sunday September 6th, 2009 at 12:43 P.M. I vow to never get my hair relaxed again...flatiron is a different story I mean a bish can't have a fro all da time.

I am hoping that my hair will grow back longer than before but I don't know if it would really do that. I don't even know what the texture of my hair would be...wavy? tight thick curls? limp? I think this would be an interesting experience for me and I am curious to see how it might influence my future...more confidence? Less confidence? Who knows.
