You Never Know Until You Try

OMG!! Imagine my excitement when I picked out my hair to put in a weave ponytail and I had a puff of my own that was in my opinion BEAUTIFUL!! Everyone at work thought that I had a piece on and wanted to touch it. I’m soo proud of the growth of my hair. I had no idea it had gotten so long because I keep it compact and curly.

Moral of the story: Don’t rule something out before you try it. You never know what you could be missing out on!
Here are a few pics of it.

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!
