The Bridge to Bliss

My natural hair!! Yes, today is the 1st anniversary of when I went natural, A.K.A. my "naturalversary!" It's been a long, long time coming but I am proud of myself and my hair endeavors. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, going natural-or returning natural- can be defined as: When a woman (or man) with naturally curly, coily or kinky hair wears their hair in its natural state after having been wearing it straight or chemically altered for any amount of time. While we're at it, it's probably best that you know what a perm is if you already don't, so click here! So basically, on February 24, 2013, I threw away all of my harmful hair products, put away my straightener/flat irons, and attempted being natural. What can I say? It was horrid.  When I first wore my hair natural (left), and today...actually yesterday (right). Big difference! Not only did I have no idea what I was doing (it was supposed to be a twist out )...

As of today, I am starting the #31WriteNow Challenge for August!! If you read that last sentence and went, "Huh?" Then make sure to check out my last blog post. So...what is there to talk about? I'll give some insight on my natural hair journey: So recently , I found out that I have low porosity hair. Low porosity? Well, it means that my hair shaft strands are closed, so that barely anything can get in them. So simply put, every time I add a glorious product or even water, it just sits on top of my hair and doesn't get into it to condition it. Many girls like me with low porosity hair will probably complain about having dry hair, but it's just the strands! After finding out this condition, the journalist inside of me went to work on finding out how to GET INTO my hair strands. I'll stay in touch with my endeavors and the results!  Oh! And I also started a Go Fund Me campaign today!! That's right! And if you click on this link:  http://www.gofundme.com/3smo...
