Congrats to Kim on her BC! You can check out more of her at her blog, dedicated to locs (Kim’s future goal), at irocklocs.blogspot.com. If you’re into locs, as I am, you’re in for a treat! Kim, you look GAWJESS!!
Relaxed
Transition time - I only went three months without a relaxer before I got tired of dealing with two textures and ready to take the leap!
Favorite products - I don’t know that I have favorites yet because I just just BC’d on Friday (Jun11), but I’m currently using Organics Uplifting Shampoo & Hair Mayonnaise. I’m also using a shea butter mixture a friend gave me as a “Welcome to the Natural Side!” gift. I’m pretty frugal and plan to use what’s in my house before I venture out, but I am researching and surfing blogs to find the right products.
What you love most about your hair – I love the feel of my kinky curlies! I can’t stop touching my hair!
The manner in which you BC’d - I went to a barber and he just took the clippers with a long guard and started cutting!
Newly Natural!
Any opposition/problems you faced along the way – My husband is not the most excited about the cut, but it’s growing on him. Since I’m a school teacher, I haven’t been back to work yet, so I don’t know what the reaction will be there.

You look amaZING!!!! Congratulations.
you do look great–i am so considering the the BC-i am off work right now for 3 weeks so I thought it would be a good time to do the bc so that i can get use to my new hair alone first
Thanks for the compliments, ladies!
@Branu’me – Go for it! Your time off will give you a chance to get used to the new you before presenting it to the world! Be prepared for mixed reactons, but remember that what they think doesn’t really matter. This is about you! Good luck!
Wow! You look great. That cut looks so natural on you. lol! pun intended. The make-up is beautiful as well.
Hi Kim, you look gorgeous dahling! I bc’d this past saturday night 7/17/10! My twa looks just like yours & I am loving it! My husband “hates” my cut, but I’m not surprised, even when I relaxed he didn’t like my choice of short hairstyles – & that’s his issue to deal with – ha! Anyway, I’ll be keeping up with your loc journey! good luck & remember, it’s all about you!
You look beautiful and you definitely have the face for
the TWA. Rock it proudly with grace and you be just
fine!
TWAs rock!! Enjoy your new wash and go lifestyle.
