We have an announcement....

Mom2KurlyT has decided to transition to natural hair!

I have been thinking about it for a while now and I've decided to do it! Thank you to Nikki of Beads, Braids & Beyond for posting this awesome topic: Should Mommy Be Natural Too?

It has been 8 weeks since my last relaxer and I have about 1/2 to 3/4 inch of new growth. It took some convincing to get the hubbs on board because his main question was "what is it going to look like?" To be honest, I don't really know. I haven't been natural since I was 12! This is definitely an opportunity for me to "walk the walk." Thank you for those of you who have supported me in this decision and for those of you who think it's a bad idea, oh well! It's MY HAIR! Stay tuned for updates in my transitioning. Wish me luck!

Sorry for the blurry pic, I took it with my phone. Blame my unsteady hand!

    Congratulations! I know how big of a step this is, as I decided officially to do it in Sept. '09. It does get tempting to go back, but look @ you baby for inspiration!

    @Beads, Braids and Beyond: Thank you! I will definitely keep my CN family informed!

    @Dreamer13: I hope I love it too. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous...LOL

    @LongLeggedLife: Thanks for the support! Are you transitioning or did you BC. I'd like to see your progress.

    @Tonya: Thank you! Are you a natural?

    I'm still transitioning. I did put a pic on my profile. I don't know how well you can see my actual hair. I won't lie though I am getting the BC itch lol, but the fear keeps me putting the shears back down.
