Okay at this time I got myself back into school and I just could not afford the FAKE HAIR. Plus I felt like i needed to feel my hair again. So after 6-8 months of contiplating back and forth, and forth and back, and up and down, and around and around, I finally just took my hair out of my handmade weave, and went natural. You have to remember, after all of those years of chemically processing my hair and hiding the natural hair, I didn't know what my hair would look like nor how to maintain and manage it. So, this was a big step for me. This is a picture with my hair with no color as well. I just braided my hair into 4 big box braids, after washing my hair, and took the big braids out. I was so happy and proud of myself.
Now even though I had the natural thing going with my hair, I was still doing the same make up routine. Here is Sherena shortly after I when I went natural. Noticed how I had a Ghost-face like effect and how light my face was compared to my body. Yeah, I don't need to tell you who I had been emulating. But at least my hair was natural and I finally started going in the right direction. I still felt great!
