Well, first of all, here is my inspirational pic:

LOVE.THAT.HAIR!!!!

Okay uhm Miss Lucia, what had happened was...:look:

No really, it's a long story. I started writing and well it's taking too long to type up and I have out of town guests arriving shortly and I don't have time to tell the whole story. I will be back in a day or two or a few to share why I am about to bc for the 3rd time and why I went back to relaxers twice.

Okay I'm back. The bottomline, I wasn't ready.

After my first bc I felt so liberated after suffering from so many relaxer mishaps and setbacks, and never making it past neck-length. It was wonderful to finally get to know my natural hair and see if flourish (sp?). I did, however, become too obsessed with curl definition. After 5 or so months I convinced myself I could just texturize and have the often talked about "best of both worlds." But once again my hair quickly became unhappy again. I was also in the process of making a major move from the East coast to the West and I was overwhelmed by everything.

So after I moved and got settled I assessed the damage and realized I had to bc again. The sad thing was that this time I was somewhat traumatized by the short hair, idk why? But I felt sad. I hung in there though for 2 years and 4 months and watched my hair grow quickly from a little twa to past shoulder-length, a few sections had reached apl, a length I had never been in my entire life, ever, not even in childhood.

As a child my pressed natural hair was close to shoulder-length, until my first relaxer at 13, but I digress...Anyway, this time I avoided the curly pitfall and the frustration with my multiple textures which make it nearly impossible to wash-n-go, however this time I fell for the I want to show my length pitfall:wallbash:. So too much heat gave me heat damage, so I had to snip, snip, snip here and there. And I started to recent my thick, lush hair that required hours to twist.

I had just become so tired.

And the relaxer started calling my name again..."this time it will work," it whispered, "you will get to show your length," "everything will be easier." And for awhile it was until I started using heat. For the first time in my life I had what I considered to be long hair. I was like a poor person who hits the lottery and throws it all away. I just wasn't prepared and I wanted to see my length all of the time. And I wanted the world to see, "see I can grow long hair!" And so after a year of feeling lost I decided to transition. I was afraid of having a twa this time, I felt I needed a little more length.

I learned through this process that I must be much more positive about my hair and my ability to take good care of it. This time I realize that I must cherish my hair and love it no matter what. This time if I become weary or tired I must push through the frustration and find a way to stay natural. Ask for help and keep trying instead of giving in to defeat.

And now it's been a year of transitioning and I think I'm ready, I really believe I am. So that is my story of two bc's, two times returning to relaxers, and the one-year transition.

Please feel free to ask me any other questions.

Thanks for sharing this is a really good story for those who have just started transitioning or just BC'ed, frustrated with their natural hair, and don't know what else to do but relax.
