My first big trim (Salon Visit)

Hey Ladies!!

I want to start by wishing each of you a Happy Holidays!!!!!


So recently I gave up my DIY method of trimming my hair and decided it was time to get my first major trim!!!! I will admit I was nervous and real protective about my precious stands being trimmed.  After much thought I decided it was time I was ready to face my fear. I scheduled an appointment with Regis Salon. I have always been pleased with their services and skills.

Upon arriving to the salon I was very nervous I was wondering what the response would be upon entrance. To my surprise I was well recieved with smiles and warm welcomes. I met my stylist and to my surprise was a Causcasion woman. At this moment I just knew this was going to go all wrong but I believe when you are good at what you do and confident in your ability that trumps all doubt.

Her name was Nikky and She did a great job I got my hair shampooed, conditioned, blow dried and trimed. After one  year of growing my hair out natural my hair has grown beyond my shoulders and I only had to trim about inch of bad ends off.

I must admit that my hair feels great and looks even better. The down fall was that I can tell the difference just a tad in length. However I believe its better to have strong healthy beautiful hair than long dead and damaged hair any day.

I will post pics soon!!

It's September A time for reflection***

Hey Ladies,

 I know it has been a while but I am coming to you with great reflection in the next few weeks I will be celebrating my one year Natural Versary!!!! It was this time last year I was contemplating going natural I had begun my research on the process of transitioning to natural. I had not full made my decision but I felt the pull heavily on my heart that this was going to be my next big change. It took weeks of watching videos and tutorials to actually decide this was the journey for me. I look at my hair now and I am amazed at the growth and progress of my hair so much has changed and I have learned and gained so much in this journey.

I never thought I could fall in love with my hair the way have I have. For me going natural was more than a hair style change it was a lifestyle change. I truly believe that when I decided to make this change my world change. I have been able to fully embrace my inner and outer beauty. It was through my big chop picture I met an awesome guy who keeps me smiling and who fully loves and accepts me naturally.

I encourage many women that I meet on a daily that being natural is so much fun. I truly believe naturals have way more fun!!! I have had so many of my friends make the big switch from relaxed to natural and now we sit and talk for hours and just swap stories.

Concluding I want to encourage those who are just embracing and beginning this journey don't give up it does take patience but you can never fail at learning just keep at it!!!

Yours Naturally,

Minah
