I am ready for the journey this time

Well this isn't my first big chop. I have cut my hair very short many times throughout my life in attempts of keeping my hair in its natural state. Oftentimes however I always went back to the relaxer out of frustration over not having knowledge of how to care for my hair. This time however, with all of the YouTube videos, blogs and websites dedicated to "naturalistas" I feel armed with more tools at my disposal and ready for my natural hair journey. Also, I've gotta say I love waking up and not having to blow dry, flat iron and curl my hair every other day. Liberation is wonderful!
