I'm about 30 minutes east of the Cleveland area. I'm actually a southerner from Mississippi, but hubby and I moved here 4 years ago.
Cool. I live in Kentucky but you can see downtown Cincinnati from my house. I'm right on the border. Ohio is a long way from Miss!
Indeed! I miss my family, but I try to get home to visit often. I'm planning on making a visit this June. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

LOL, I highly doubt that! I might as well get a head start on it. I've only been transitioning for 5 months though.

I was 2 when I started getting relaxers. No wonder I have no clue what my natural hair looks like.

Maybe my alopecia wouldn't have acted up so badly had the perms stopped...anywho I looking forward to my hair like my half wig (if i could only upload pix from my phone)
My hair is very thick too and I'm beginning to think that my mom might have mistaken it for a texturizer also, but... two years old. I just don't understand.
2yo is crazy...but 4 is no better. I'm glad I've finally got it together & said [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] to perms.

Re: First Relaxer?
I was 3 years old when I got my first relaxer. My mother said my hair was really thick and very coarse. I have always had thick coarse hair even with relaxers and when you really don't know how to care for my grade of hair it can be a little too much.

Re: First Relaxer?
I my memory serves me correctly I was about 11. My mom totally against it! My aunt permed my hair without my mom's permission....yep you can image what that was like [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] !!! My hair was thick and had a beautiful wave pattern but it was sometimes hard to comb....if I has known what I know now.....those curls were to die for. lol

LynnieLuv you stole my story! I begged for a relaxer my first year of high school because there was no way I was going to high school with a Jheri Curl! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Yoli is too! We met at the FL meet-up.
Re: First Relaxer?
I was about 8 or 9 when I received my very first perm. It broke my hair off and I didn't get my next relaxer until I was 12 and able to take care of it.
I'm glad I know what I know now, so when I become a parent I will know how to properly care for my child's hair and they will embrace their naturalness.
