I spent the weekend sneaking on my iPhone in between spending time with the SO looking at natural hair pics (mostly Curly Nikki). Well, I got busted and divulged I planned on going natural. The mutual friend that introduced us has a head full of gorgeous natural hair so he knew exactly what I meant. I admit, I was momentarily nervous about his reaction.
He is totally cool with it, but doesn't understand why I need to research it. When I tried to explain the difference, I saw birds chirping behind his eyes. LOL Too cute, either way, I have his support. He sees me looking crazy all of the time anyway so if I have some bad hair days in between this transition, he'll be alright. lol
My mother is natural and supports it, although she was very suprised when I told her about it. A few of my other girlfriends are excited for me. One is natural and I didn't even know it. (Her hair is always in a weave.) So for the people closest to me, I have their support and they are just as excited as I am. I know I"ll need the support in the coming months.
And thank you for YOUR support! It does not go unnoticed! :-)

Support During the Transition

Cheezy you are so fortunate to have that support system there. A lot of other people don't have that luxury, including myself. And Lol @ your SO. Men folk never understand why we do what we do. They think it comes effortlessly.
I love Curly Nikki...that is my go to site during my transition...Good luck with it!
You are very lucky to have people around you who support your decision to go natural. A good support system will make it a little easier for you. I brought it up with my mom and hubby and did not get good responses, so I'll be on my own if I ever decide to go natural.
I am 25 wks post relaxer and not looking back. That's great you have the support and I am glad I have the support to.
It will be a challenge but you'll be just fine. I have been natural since October of last year. I love it gurl. This passed Friday I cut off the rest of the processed hair and I love my little afro! I'm also looking forward to the challenge!!
