This is my first time starting a blog about my journey. One of my besties, has always encourage me to write my story because it is a testimony. January 5th, a good friend encourage me to document this new hair journey. Here is my hair story:
2009 proved to be an unexpected rollercoaster in my life. After two surgeries, my diagnoses of 2nd stage Thyroid cancer came September 17, 2009. My first thought was to laugh in disbelief and then sob to no end. My faith had to kick in more than ever.
My hair journey began from this point. Due to the anesthesia and radiation treatment, the texture of my hair change tremendously. I am truly thankful of not going through chemo. However, the radiation treatment thinned out my hair. I have always kept a healthy head of hair. This was very depressing despite all the support I have. I tried braids and weaves to camouflage my looks. My last relaxer was August 10, 2009…. I found myself to be so dependent on getting a relaxer. 5 months later….along with the sadly thin strands, I decided to let it go. I have previously toggle with going natural but after seeing the toll on my hair…the decision was made. I am now growing into myself and appreciating my beauty.
2010- I will win this battle and rock this hair natural My God, family and friends are my rock through this journey
My praise and belief has truly grown stronger in this journey….

I BC in late august, my hair is growing back healthy with the regiment I am doing. co-wash, daily cond. raw shea butter and virgin olive oil: moisturize daily and shampoo monthly with biotin shampoo. I changed my eating habits no fried foods, or beef, more water intake and more fruits and veg; flax seed, multi-vit. x-vit.C. and apple-cider vinegar pills on a daily basis. It takes plenty of work but you are so worth it….
