2 - Starting Over Again " Nov 08 -May 09"
In the beginning of 2008 I was on a quest to find out best practices for transitioning from relaxed to natural hair. I soon discovered Fotki and several natural hair website ( Nappturality, Naturally Curly, Motown girl, etc) To my surprise, I found a myriad of information on natural hair care. In my thirst for knowledge, I found out that I was abusing my hair with heat. The symptoms of heat damage totally mirrored the state of my hair: limp & lifeless. For about 5 months I gave my hair a break by wearing braids & sew-ins. After taking my hair out of the protective styles, I could tell the difference in the new growth and the heat damaged hair. After a bit of research, I decided to start over again. I didn't want to transition out of my heat damaged hair......I just didn't have the energy. So, in Nov of 08 I did my BC!
