the braids

great transitioning style.....

New photo's

It sucks having half straight, half natural hair....but I'm almost fully natural

The style is a braid out......with side bangs...I thought I was so cute...but then I went to school and it got ugly

My Bad

I decided to start a blog at the worst time...I'm a senior with no time and cant seem to find enough time to get any pictures of my hair up. But I will sooner or later...probably during winter vacation. For now I leave you with this...being a senior is crazy expensive...yearbooks $60...grad fee $80+tax...and thats only what I've already paid for...its crazy!!!

REMEMBER...love your hair because no one else will

The Beginning

Hello world.....my name is Merline and thank you for taking a look at my transitioning journey....I'm not totally natural yet....but I will be very soon.
Right now I have braids and have been transitioning since July of this year(2007). I'm a senior in High School and I want to big chop before Prom.......hopefully that will work out.

My Plan:
To transition with braids and cornrows
To condition my hair once a week
To shampoo my hair once a month
To learn to style my natural hair
To encourage others to go natural
And to have a good time doin it!

Peace and Love
