Congrats to Nzinga on her one year natural anniversary!! You can tell she is one lady who really has fun with her hair and rocks it like no other! Thanks for sharing with us and here’s to many more years of natural beauty!
Hello Kcurly,
I have just recently celebrated my 1 yr natural anniversary! yay me! I love your blog and wanted to share my short pic. journey w/you.
I never actually planned on going natural. So I made the jump without any research or preparation. (so glad I stumbled across your blog this year!) I just wish I would’ve found it earlier.
I went w/o a relaxer for about 8 months. (didn’t realize this was called transitioning… I was just broke! lol)
The pics are:
1. relaxed hair
2. minutes before the B.C
3. one week after B.C
4. a few weeks agoThanks,

Hey N’Zinga it’s Freda from NCSU. OMG, you look simply gorgeous! I loved both relaxed and natural looks on you. There is definitely a certain fierceness about you with the blond curls! I love it and congrats on your 1 year anniversary!!
I LOVE that hair color. What is it? What brand is it? It’s gorgeous.
Hi Freda! Thanks.
@Lrigy: Thank You. I will find out for you.
I love it!!
I am in the transition process now. Please check out my website. I welcome all tips and advice. Peace
