Chemical Dependency

Just 4 days short of my 2 year natural hair anniversary I had a relapse and went back to the creamy crack. I know, I know. I feel like I was in a relationship and cheated on my significant other. A little guilt stirred up as I came to the realization that I would no longer be a part of the community I had come to cherish over these past 2 years...The natural hair community. All the blogs served as a support system for my journey. Now that the journey has ended I'm left wondering what to do next.

Last night some of my natural hair friends saw me with a relaxer. As soon as they realized I had relaxed my hair, I immediately covered my face in shame. Sheesh, I feel like I am a betrayer. I had no idea that people actually paid any attention to my blog or knew it by name.

Now what? Should I change the blog name? Clearly I will no longer talk about natural hair, but I still enjoy having an outlet to write my thoughts.

Finishing where I started

1 Years Old.....Actually 1 on Dec 25th not 24th

Naturally_Psyched is 1 today! It has been such a learning experience. This year has taught me so much about myself. This journey has revealed my weaknesses which gave me the opportunity to face them head on and also enhanced my strengths. There were a lot of ups as well as downs, but I'm grateful for all of it. I started this journey for a specific purpose, reached that point, and decided to not continue on that road.

A change was made....More details to come

Let's Take This Back To The Old School

Even though I have an amazing flat iron (which was recently returned after being stolen...long story) I still like to hot comb/press my hair first. Normally I use an electric hot comb, but lately it has not done the job right. Soooo, I looked in my handy dandy kitchen drawer and VOILA, my old school hot comb was sitting there ready for use. I fired up the kitchen stove. It took me back to the days when I would sit in the kitchen Sunday mornings while my stepmother worked her magic to give me a press and curl.

I have to admit, my biggest fear with an old school hot comb is burning my hair. In order to make sure the comb is not too hot, I always have a wet rag to press the comb on before it touches my hair.

It turned out well.....More details to come.
