Protective Styling

As you all know I was growing extremely agitated with my hair and contemplating a perm, so I decided that it was time for a weave…excuse me protective style.  I was trying to find someone to do it but I was so frustrated that I taught myself to braid and I sewed in my own tracks…YAAAAYYY ME!! I'm pretty excited about it… mind you the hair was very cheap so it may shed completely by Friday (LOL) but next time I'll spend more money since I know I can do it.

Moral of the Story: If you want it bad enough you can do anything!!

So now I'm going to try my best to protect my hair until April 23, 2012...which will mark my 1 year Hairversary!! Wish me Luck...I'll keep you guys posted on my styles!

Embracing New Things

Within the next week I'll be transferring things from an older blog to fill in the blanks prior to this month. But I would like to share my latest endeavor with you which is my new YouTube channel. I'm very excited about it and some days I still cant believe that I really did it. It may not be a big deal for most people, but it is for me. I think this will be the start of enjoyable past time for me. The link is

My Natural Truth...No Lye

Hi Everyone, I'm Quirky Coils and I have gone natural 3 times in the last 6 years. The first time I was forced because of a bad perm, the second by choice and I transitioned until my perm was completely gone. I ALWAYS relapse and take the easy way out and resort back to relaxing my hair. This time is different; on April 23, 2011 I did the "BIG CHOP"! Not to sound cliché but it was the most liberating decision of my life. I didn’t know what to expect, how I would look and what others reaction would be, but for the 1st time, I didn’t care! Going natural is something that I’ve always contemplated, tried but never did I FULLY COMMIT. The last few years of my life have been a journey about learning who I am, what I love, what I like and what I want. It’s been the most amazing time in my life, now its time for one of the major attractions of my journey of life…learning to love me in MY NATURAL EXISTENCE!
I am ready for this healthier way of living. I am ready to continue to be the controller of my life in spite of the disapproval. I feel that we should be able to be our true selves (nappy, curly, straight) and still be loved. I will no longer live my life based on some one else’s way of thinking. The noise of their opinions’ will not drown my inner voice. Thanks for taking the time out to view My Natural Truth…NO LYE!
