SCRUG_A_LICIOUS*Club pics (puff)!!!**

Hey Curly Nikki!,
This is my first time blogging. I have been apart of your forum for about two months now and I have to say it has greatly impacted my life. I made a decision to go natural in March 2009 which was my senior year in high school. I continued to flat iron my hair (which i just found out was ultimately damaging) when i had sew ins. I spent most of this year in braids. Everytime i take my braids down I have dead ends that are the result of an old perm. I have been scared to do the big chop. The women on the website have inspired me to do it and I plan on doing my big chop during my spring break. For now I wash my hair with Pantene relaxed and natural and I use the conditioner. I also use cholesterol to deep condition my hair. I plan on getting all new, natural hair products to start my transformation after my big chop. My main transitioning style is tight curls with rods. Also, since I am a college basketball player, I have braids most of the time. Hopefully when my hair starts to grow more I won't need to keep getting micro braids.

Hello and welcome!!! It sounds like you have a plan and the ladies on this site can definitely help you stick to it. I look forward to learning more about your journey

Welcome!!!

Today I woke up and felt very good about myself and my hair. I am beggining to realize that it is an extension of me. When I come to curlynikki.com I feel like Im taking an online class that I am extremely interested in. Im counting down the days until I am fully natural and IM GEEKED!My ultimate goal is to have a head fulll of hair like so many of the African Queens on this site!Thanks so much SHee, Blonde, and kinky nappy happy!!Im so grateful for all of the support.

Cute!!! You look 100% natural in that pic!

Love that rod set and uhm can I have that necklace?

Totall agree with Lynnie

You and your hair look beautiful. How much of your hair is already natural?

That name just cracks me up ....

Hair looks good ...

Welcome girl! Yes, your name is funny to me.

I always admire young ladies (man, I sound OLD) who are in high school who decide to go natural. Back when I was there (class of '98! lol) I can't think of anyone in my school who was natural. Maybe one or two, but they had curly/wavy type hair - no one with hair like mine.

So, kudos to you and can't wait to see your BC photos! You're going to be even MORE gorgeous!

Thanks Queens for the necklace complement. I would say about half of my hair is natural right now @AuBurn. I appreciate it Blonde and BlakButterfly. Although I should mention that i am a student a Missouri Southern State University. Which is a school with mostly white students. When I wore my natural hair out, the black students looked at me differently but the white students loved it and said that i should wear it more often. Its fascinating how our own people can't see how beautiful our natural selves are. Just something to think about.


PS.
I currently have Micro braids and I am getting new growth!!I used to hate to see that my kinky roots were growing under my braids but now it was the highlight of my day. I look forward to seeing even more of the beauty that God gave me.!

Im lookin at my roots!!

Welcome

Hi! Your hair looks great and that necklace is super cute! I see why everyones commenting about it im so looking forward the the bc!

@ SAL, that's great you're almost completely natural! I think it's sad that there are still alot of people out there who have yet to learn to embrace themselves and other people's beauty.

Beauty does not come "one size".

RIGHT!
I am feeling great about my hair today! I jhave a confidence that is much stronger than before. And i see so much beauty around me!!

welcome and good luck =) i love the pics of the rod set!

Thanks guys!
Today I was looking at my scalp and it looks pretty dry. I am wondering should I wash my hair while it is in the braids. Or should I co wash it? Only three weeks till my big chop!!:-)
