Natural Hair Transitions: Vida’s Post Big Chop Thoughts

Natural Hair Transitions: Vida’s Post Big Chop Thoughts

I’s free now,

Vida at the Shampoo Bowl

No thanks to yo brain washing,
Massa, you had me tinking Hawaiian Silky was de way to be,
It all started with my mammy,
when I’s was just a lil’ chile,
she done took me to de womans’ place to put dat white stuff in my head,
I’s come out with de long tresses, no stresses
I done spent hundreds to look like YOU
but I was fooled,
me head wasn’t made for dat,
me roots is from the motherland
not your land,
dey was made to be free,
kinky and witout harmful manmade goop,
I’s free
After yeas of slavery to yo idear,
Good hair,
Bad har,

Cutting those permed ends off, April owner of LockStar

It’s all de hair,
I’s free
I’s going to celebrate me freedom.
No mo’ shackles to the creamy stuff,
I’s free,
I dreamed about dis day and it tis finally here,
I’s free

-Vida

Note: Words can not describe how great I feel to be free of the creamy crack!
I should have gone natural sooner!
I have a great curl pattern (so I’ve been told)!
I get compliments wherever I go!
I love it!!

All done!

I did get my hair cut off but it wasn’t as scary or as much as I thought! (See first blog entry for an explanation)
BTW: Don’t let ANY man fool you, they love natural hair…no more weave…well….let’s take this one step at a time…lol!

 
 
Here is the product that I ‘m using…
Cantu Shea Butter No Drip hair and scalp oil
 
Here are the products, they used at the shop!
Natural hair journey Day 1
Purology (anti- fade complex) detangle

Nourishing shampoo( Jane Carter/sls free) tea tree (paul Mitchell) and nourishing conditioner (Ones)

First, I got it washed…then…permed ends cut off…next…washed again…then she put moisturizer in my hair
