What made you go natural and how long have you been Natural? Did you transition or BC?
My last perm was in 2007 and I BC on April 17, 2009, which means I have been natural for almost 32 months. It may sound cheesy or really simple but I literally woke up one day and thought "Why do I have to have a relaxer? What is wrong with my hair the way it is?" From there I transitioned for about 16 months. It wasn’t that hard for me because I transitions with various types of braids and I cut my perm ends off bit by bit. Eventually, I had a stylist do my BC and have not looked back since.

What made you decide to loc your hair?
You know I find it funny that I am pursuing getting locs because I'm that person who always has some sort of protective, creative hairstyle. Also as soon as I BCed my hair my personal goal was to have my afro grow and get so big that when I went to the movies the person behind me would be upset.lol. Well, I reached my goal. lol. I was also the natural who said I would never get locs.
Ultimately what brought me to the loc side was I was at a turning point in my natural journey. I was either going to cut my hair back down to a TWA or do something else to it. I say that because my hair is thick and takes some time to do. And to be honest, I was getting really tired of detangling my hair. I wanted to have a ready made style, that all I had to do is just get up and go.
SN: Also it is really rare that I even wear my loose hair out in a fro unless I am get my ends trimmed, and then I would twist my hair back up.
That’s when I began researching locs. Though I never thought I would get them, I've always admired locs even before my natural days. Then one day I just stumbled upon Sisterlocks. I couldn't believe they were....locs! I mean they were so tiny; they almost resembled loose natural hair. I was in awe and amazed. I researched Sisterlocks and, l as you know I am trying to get them.
