That is exactly what I ask myself when I think about how long my natural transition was. You see, my last relaxer was in December 2007. However, my “real” natural journey did not start until two years later. I stopped getting my hair relaxed for a couple of reasons. The main reason was that I had moved to a new place and wasn’t familiar with the salons in the area. I moved to a highly Hispanic populated area in PA and black stylist were not a regular that you saw everyday. I also got tired of doing the kitchen beautician method of relaxing my own hair as I am sure that I over processed the MESS out of it! I always wanted to experiment with being natural, but never had the guts to do it.
I meet Ms. Shawnta on Twitter. (The internet is a beautiful thing.) Her story enforces the fact that there are no rules in how you should go natural, or limitations to any style, even locs. Shawnta can be described as a queen foraging her path in life, student sometimes… work all the time, internet junkie, a writer, a mother, a book-a-holic, a shop-a-holic, an artist, and loving life! She has been on all sides of natural rockin the ‘fro, locs, taking them out, wearing twist outs or even a flat ironed wrap. Wow! You may visit her youtube channel or blog, Peace, Love and Namaste.
