Kitchen Wars, Hair thus far

Here are some pictures of my hair as I transition from a relaxer to all natural! My last perm was June 13, 2008. I'm looking forward to getting sisterlocks. I'm doing my research reading every blog I can read and trying to decide if I will do the BC or leave the perm ends. My hair in the "kitchen" really coils.

No More Perms

Well,

Things are changing. I've made the decision to go natural. I've been natural at different times in my life. I did not get a perm until I was 15 years old. I lived in Los Angeles at the time and my hair could handle a press and curl.

I've decided to go natural for a couple of reasons (1) I'm tired of my scalp suffering, (2) I'm tired of seeing my hair on the bathroom floor, and (3) I want to be free.

I want to get sisterlocks. So, I'm waiting patiently and learning how to care for my transitional hair. Waiting is not easy.
