The Jealousy Must End

If you can read between the lines (or simply read) you know I am publicly jealous of naturals. The thick, lucious kinky-curls, the versatility from curly to kinky, to wavy, to straight. And best of all, the scalp is generally healthy.

Another reason is that my favorite styles are curly styles. I'm always doing textured styles. When I roller set my hair, I almost always keep it curly. I love braidout buns-so does the SO. (He's always checking to see if my hair is curly or I get the side eye.) And when I get new growth, I am always playing in it.

I'm super curious to see what my real texture is like. Since I love "doing" my hair, I think I'd like the challenges of finding different products and techniques to bring out the best in my natural texture.

But actually, my primary reason for wanting to go natural was my last relaxer experience. And while this was not the first time I've had a chemical burn, this was the first time a professional stylist was the cause of it. I figure I can burn my own scalp! So, I'm honestly gun shy of going back.

So in 2010, I will be transitioning. I'm praying I can stick it out. I hope that I don't run into any setbacks and that I can have a long, relatively safe transition to natural. I've always been secretely putting together a game plan for transitioning and now I think I'm ready to put it into effect.

Over the next few days, I'll be putting the final touches on Transition 2010!

Wish me luck!
