My Curliecue Story

I have been natural going on four years now.I made the decision back in 2005.  Prior to that, I permed my hair about four times a year.  I've always been told that I should just do it..just go completely natural.  But at the time, I was a little curious (and scared) to see what my natural texture would look like.  Now, I LOVE IT !!! I didn't not do "The Big Chop", but instead I gradually grew out to my natural texture.  I love the versatility, the diversity and the freedom that natural hair gives me.  I don't have to run from my car to the house on rainy days for fear that my hair will "flop".  Humidity is now my friend and NOT my enemy.  I can work out and jog regularly without the worries of ruining my hair do.  Sometimes I do press my hair straight, mainly in the fall and winter months.  But for the most part I wear my hair foot loose and fancy free.  It was a transition that was a little challenging at first, but worth it in the end.  Almost every day, I get asked the question "What do you use in your hair ?".  I've gone through my share of hair products and spent a lot of money in the process.   Now, I want to share my experiences and knowledge with others.  Natural and curly hair should be embraced, not feared.  Maybe my story can help save you from frustration... and a little money along the way!

Here's some pics of me and my natural locks....  What do you think?
