Birth of a Blog.

Greetings! And welcome to my very first personal blog. I'm glad you stopped in. Allow me to first introduce myself. My name is CoCo, and I'm a long term transitioner. 2+ years (holy moly!) to be exact, so stick with me... I got a story to tell. 

For now, my blog will be dedicated to hair. Transitioning hair. Natural hair. All things hair. But more specifically, it will chronicle my own transition from relaxed to natural. Something like a diary of my hair journey. However, it may (and most likely will) evolve into a complete natural lifestyle blog: including beauty, fitness, health, nutrition, recipes, etc.  But I'm getting ahead of myself. Lets focus on today.

Right now, I am a week from my 23rd month in transition. Meaning its been just about 2 years since my last chemical relaxer!! Go me! These last couple of years have really been a constant learning process for me. There's been hours upon hours upon hours of research (s/o to google and YouTube!) not to mention all the trials and errors. But I can't forget the countless lightbulb moments. I truly feel like I've been through it all. 

Overall, I've had many failures but an equal number of successes too. There has been joy, sorrow, anxiousness and impatience. Lots of excitement and uncertainty. There's even been a few setbacks and a couple tears - but all worthwhile experiences for sure. I'm here to share it all. The good, the bad AND the ugly not so pretty. 

If nothing else, I have learned the true meaning of patience. My desire is to use my blog not only as a platform to help/assist/teach/encourage other transitioners (or potential transitioners), but also as a tool to spread the knowledge and information I have learned along the way. So sit back, relax and let me take you on a journey that's guaranteed to change your life. Or at least your way of thinking. Perhaps.
