My Natural Hair Journey

 It all started in the summer of 2019 when I visited a hairdresser and at the time I didn’t know what the word transition meant. All I knew was I was tired of getting relaxers. (Plus the woman that did my hair moved) My hair was a frizz ball and I was left out to discover what to do with my hair.

I decided to go natural after that to see what my hair texture actually looked like but I knew I didn’t want to big chop ( I didn’t have it in me!). So after that, I learned about what hair transitioning was and I decided to do it! It was tough I didn’t really know anything about protective styling because I had gotten relaxers since I was about 10 years old. I read hundreds of articles about how to transition and tons of videos about that to do, but the main thing I learned from transitioning was IT TAKES TIME.

My starting point in August of 2019

Throughout the months I had seen all the steps on how to transition hair

  1. No heat. I had a tough time not dealing with the blowdryer and flat iron but I made it
  2. Deep condition. This was something I was already sort of doing. Even with relaxed hair and transitioning I deep conditioned every few weeks and that kept my hair soft.
  3. No Sulfates. I’m didn’t know what a sulfate was but I did know that the shampoos I used to contain them, and so I tried a sulfate-free shampoo sadly though it was Cantu and I switched to Shea Moisture shortly after and haven’t had a problem since.

I thought my hair would never grow but it did and I was so excited! As the months turned into a year I had gotten a good hair routine going and learned how to twist pretty well and after a year and a half of transitioning, I big chopped my hair in October of 2020.

There were so many times I wanted to take the scissors and go for, so many times I was told to get a relaxer, but I stuck with it and I fell in love with my curls all over again. I still have work to do of course because the journey continues but, I think it will be worth it in the end.

New Lessons and Outings

My tutor came the next week, like my father said he would.There was a knock on the door at 8:45 a.m. I was just finishing eating oatmeal porridge,when the tutor came. My dad opened the door and there was a man with combed back blond hair and blue eyes wearing a beige suit and a suitcase in tow. He looked to be around his 20's in appearance from afar,but the closer he got I saw light bags under his eyes, and started to reconsider his age. "Serenity,this is Mr. Antonius Virta, he'll be your tutor. Mr.Virta, this is my daughter Serenity." "Good morning sir" I say with a bit of nervousness. "Houmenta, Good morning" I smile at him he seems like a good tutor but I can never be too sure with these types of things. "Let us begin,you need help with learning Finnish correct?" He said sitting down at the table. "Yes sir, I'm sorry but I don't understand it at all,my father has been trying to teach me some words this last week tho

Hetalia German Brothers

Just the way that Gil spoke was enough to make Ludwig blush. Gil had a low voice, that just dripped sex appeal when he tried, and he was really trying hard now. It was flustering, and creepy coming from his brother. Though he did have to admit Gil's sweet voice, intense stare, and description was enough to make him want to run away and give up going along with this stupid joke. But it takes a fool to raise a fool . And Ludwig just kept on going not traumatized enough quite yet.  "No Gil, see sometimes you just want it, and you want it now. So you tease, sucking just the tip. Then you slowly push it in your mouth, making it graze between your teeth…and then you just use the tongue. You swirl your tongue around the entire length, and then pull back slowly, real slow, and you drag your teeth on it again, drawing out more and more of what you want. And then you bite the tip, and get a big reward." Gil was a little flustered listening to his little brother go on and on but
