I MADE IT A GOAL TO GO A YEAR WITHOUT A PERM AND IVE MADE IT NINE MONTHS SO FAR. WHEN MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY FIGURED IT OUT I GOT MIXED REVIEWS, SOME THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT WHILE OTHERS BEGGED ME TO GET A RELAXER. I HAVE NATURALLY THICK HAIR, WITH THAT SAID I WAS ONLY GETTING TWO PERMS A YEAR. MY MOM STARTED GIVING ME PERMS EVERY SIX MONTHS AND I JUST STUCK WITH IT.
LAST JANUARY I THOUGHT, I ONLY GET TWO PERMS A YEAR WHY NOT GO COMPLETELY WITHOUT THEM. WHILE I WONT! DO THE BIG CHOP, IM EMBRACING MY NATURAL ROOTS. IM GOING TO GET MY HAIR DONE NEXT WEEK MY ENDS LOOK HORRIBLE AND IM GOING TO GET A LIGHTER COLOR, SO WE'LL SEE HOW THAT TURNS OUT.
I HAVE TO SAY THAT I AM REALLY EMBRACING WHO I AM AND MY BODY NOW THAT MY TWENTIES HAVE STARTED. THOUGH I STILL HAVE SOME THINGS I WISH I COULD CHANGE, I LOVE WHAT I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH AND IT TOOK TWENTY YEARS! AS TEENS MOST GIRL TRY TO FIT INTO A MOLD OF WHAT OTHER THINK THEY SHOULD LOOK LIKE. THOSE OPINIONS DONT MATTER TO ME IM IN A STAGE WHERE I WANT TO ENHANCE WHAT I WAS GIVEN AND NOT HIDE OR BE ASHAMED OF MY IMPERFECTIONS.
TO ALL OF MY FEMALE FOLLOWERS LOVE WHO YOU ARE EVERY INCH OF YOU, IT WILL MAKE IT EASIER FOR OTHERS TO DO THE SAME : ). UNTIL NEXT TIME................

ReplyDeleteMy last post is about my intention to stretch my relaxer. I have never done that before. After about two months, my hair starts to break and by that I know that I have to get my hair relaxed.
ReplyDeleteWhat did you do to stretch your relaxer so long?
This is my last post

All the best to you!
i never got alot of perms in the first place. my mom would give me one every three months, from there it went to twice a year. i heard that wasnt good for the hair so i went to no perms at all. i did have alot of breakage but my beautician reassured me that if i continue to clip my ends and keep it moisturize it will grow back.
ReplyDeletei love the blog, i am doing the exact same thing, i am 5 months and counting with no perm, and just like you kneyetta i am NOT doing a big chop. i am just not going to get a perm and continue to go to the bs every 2 weeks. ny beautician told me the same thing, that there will be breakage as it is a transition but if we take care of it in the long run the hair will be healthier and grow back even longer!!! glad to know i'm not the only one
ReplyDeleteomg i couldnt live with my hair like that girl you are very strong
