I'm officially approaching the one month anniversary of making "THE SWITCH" from Weave Queen to Mother Nature and needless to say "life for me ain't been no crystal stair." Over the past few years I've grown accustom to the care free wake and shake lifestyle associated with wearing hair extensions and recently have been turned off by the countless hours associated with being natural. Now I know some of you out there may be thinking "oh no another identity stricken sister" and quite frankly if that's how you feel then this might not be the blog for you, but for those of you who can relate lets keep it real. Every morning when I have to spray a shine sheen, apply a leave in conditioner, pin and press or twist and knot, all i can think is F#*K MY NATURAL!!!! Now hear me clearly, the challenge doesn't mean I'm giving up but every day I feel like I'm on a countdown to breakdown. So with this blog I will be documenting my progress, my frustration, and hopefully my success while informing you on some great products and receiving your input as well. So for all you ladies who are making "THE SWITCH" and aren't up for the criticism from the radical hair crew, consider this a safe place to say #FMN!

LMAO! I just said the same thing over the weekend! I wore weaves for a year straight while growing my hair out... did the BC in July... then started rocking my fro for the summer... but now I am so damn sick of it! I am going RIGHT back to my weave esp with the cold weather approaching. #FMN!
Thank you for keeping it real!!!! I know exactly what you mean! I've found that twisting my hair at night with just a little moisturizer helps me maintain my styles a little longer, but it all really seems a bit tedious. I can't say I blame you at all for reverting back girl, hold out as long as you can but at the end of the day you have to do what you have to do, even if that means saying #FMN
Honey I'm loving this I say that everyday I think about doing this BC I've done natural but never went all in and started over lol! I'm watching ya let's see what happens we are going on this journey with u!!!
Thanks CeCe it is definitely a journey!!!! I am trying my hardest, testing new products trying new styles, hopefully the payoff will come when I have natural curls down my back (lol....wishful thinking) we will see!
