Only 2 weeks

last week i lightened my hair...i used Garnier Fruitis Color #83, its supposed to be a Golden Blonde of some sorts and since I haven't used colors in like 2 or 3 years ,I was a bit unsure. I used to rock that golden blonde previously. So it came out ok, I think...but after the first wash, I'm liking it. I didnt use a henna bc I dont want it darker or with a red tint bc the skin tone...no likey red next to its pink self. LOL
When i was washing it, the curls just curled up big, I was love feeling it and curling it with my fingers. I felt like Gmoney from New Jack City. Im loving it more and more. Im going to take pictures soon and post.
I've gotten compliments for my hair from relatives who didnt see it when I cut it, and it got me running my hands through my lil curls. Now Im debating whether I want to keep it cut a lil longer or let it grow out. I just dont know yet.

BC

I did the first BC on 11/7/08...and the poor lady was so scared, she was shooked. Too scare to actually cut my hair no matter how much I assured her that it was ok. It turned out looking a hot mess. lol
I tried to wash it and style it some...but it still was horrible. I almost was regretting it and wished for my instant weave/half wig. So I spoke to one of my good friends who previously did it a couple of years ago. She suggested I go to the barber shop, who would understand. Since I had to take Sean to the barber anyway, I was going to do it then.
I met a great barber there who knew exactly what I wanted and understood bc her too was a natural hair convert.
By the end, I was ECSTATIC, a lil unsure at first but that lasted only about 5 seconds...it looked so good.

My Love Affair...with my Hair

From since I was small, my hair was such a big part of me. I rocked that blonde afro when I was 2 or 3. Folks always like messing with my hair, going to family's houses everyone wanted to try it out. So I decided that I was going to do it also. So after I begged my mother and grandmother for that relaxer -Dark & Lovely to be exact which I got at age 12 - my love/hate affair began with my hair.
I've pressed laid fried died curled cut my beautiful mane. Now after close to 25 years of doing it, I'm thru. I'm going to cut it all off - - do the Big Chop today, Nov 7th 2008. My hair has fell out bc of meds and basically all the damage that I previoiusly done.
Wish me luck.
