Happy Nappiversary!!!

Hi lovely curly buddies!!

I just wanted to come on here to share my moment of happiness. A year ago today (11/20/08) as I looked in the mirror after taking out microbraids I took a pair of hair shears and transformed my life. Thats right, I did the big chop. I must admit that by nature Im very bold and sometimes quite drastic! As I sat on the sofa painstakingly taking out the micros that I had in for only 2 mos, (I know, not very long) I tried to google search a recipe for a great deep conditioning treatment. Somehow I ended up on YouTube looking at stories of women who had documented their natural hair journeys. In that moment the seed was planted. I become consumed with YouTube and spent the next 5 hours continuing to take out the micros and watching YouTube vids and checking out natural hair sites (curlynikki included!) By the time I got the micros out I knew I was going to go natural! That simple and that easy....and I did just that. I wore my hair short when it was relaxed so I had no fear of having little to no hair. It was one of the best decisions Ive ever made in my life.

I just wanted to share a part of my day with people who truly undersand and know how monumental this day is for me. Thank you to all of you who inspired me and I hope that I can inspire someone else.

So are there any other natural beauties who share a Nappiversary month in Nov or who will soon reach theirs whether it be 1 year or 20!? I wont take up too much of your time!! Have a great day and thanks for listening!!
