BIG CHOP!!

So I have definitely come a long way from my beginning struggles. My mom has become the epitome of supportive, which is a definite 180 from her previous stance on natural hair for me. Before, she was completely against the idea to the point of genuinely hurting my feelings---but guess who was the one to cut off my relaxed ends for me? Yup, my mommy! I have not showed or told my dad yet, but I'm pretty sure my mom will before I do. I have one more day of finals left and then I can bust out of the school and purchase all the oils and butters and yada-yada. But one thing that's bothering me is my low water intake. I need to buy a nice sturdy, non-plastic water bottle that can hold at least a liter. Also, I might take biotin some time in August. It's been about 5 and a half or 6 months since I stopped getting relaxers and now that I've cut most of it off (I left some in the front because I have to blend with weave while I'm at school and doing interviews, and unfortunately I will have to continue to do this until 2015 if my growth process goes how I think it will). But I'm so grateful to God the way everything has turned out for me! My life has been the struggle but also amazing and now I'm so so happy with my hair. I am known for rocking long hair and like long hair so its odd that I love my short TWA---maybe it's because its actually my hair? I haven't been happy about my real hair in a loong time. It's au natural! wowowowow! I'm still shocked I don't think it's gonna sink in for a while, lol. I love how it feels when its damp, but blow-dried it feels crispy. However my mom blowdried it and stretched it so she can braid it. A year ago I never would have thought I would be doing this but I am and I am so grateful! Thank God!

'Til next time,
