In the month of I think March I decided to go natural with my hair without the big chop. Yep no more perms. I made this decision after talking to my dd. My dd is always asking me to put a perm in her hair and I would always say noooo! I told her she didn't need a perm because her hair is beautiful like it is. Sooooo one day she told me if our hair is beautiful why do you have a perm. After that I told her I will not put another perm in my hair.I love it and when I don't love it I put on a wig LOL.The style I have in the pic is a week old twist out. My dd loves that we are doing this together. The things we do for our kids.


Well that's it for me. Happy crafting to all!!! : )
