Hi,
This is actually my second Blogger blog. The first one, created while in high school, is lost in cyberspace. I didn't use it often, but that's ok.
Now, we are to the reason why I'm here. The reason I switched over from Livejournal.... Ok! I was looking online just chilling looking at websites and groups about black women with natural hair. Lately, I've been feeling kinda bummed out about my hair. It's been the same way since August 2004. I've been wanting to change, but I've been too scared to change. Change scares me. I was looking up groups, stumbled onto the yahoo group named "LadyLocs" about women with dreadlocks. I've been wanting to lock my hair since April 2004, but again change scares me.
Back to the story, the links page for "LadyLocs" had a link to http://locksblogsphotos.blogspot.com/ I looked on it and read some of the blogs and the Val and Nadine comics (http://valandnadine.blogspot.com/). I was so excited. I thought, "I want to be a part of this. I want to have some support about my natural hair".
In Alabama, there is some but little support around me. I don't have anyone really close to me that I could talk to. Recently, one person to whom I'd become close and was an inspiration to me, got a relaxer for a pagent. She was (and still is) my shero, but I was a little discouraged.
Anyway, I'm glad I can have more natural-hair-sheroes through blogger and feel as confident about my natural crown as I did when I had my Big Chop.
