Who is Yasmine???

I'm here to share all things natural: products, styling techniques, hair recipes, my locdom journey and other helpful natural hair tips. I'm also here to share some helpful and self motivating books, quotes, entertainment reviews, and from time to time I'll share some personal experiences.

I, Yasmine, am a woman, just like you. I go thru ups and down, highs and lows, but at the end of the day God keeps me motivated appreciating the little things we overlook in life.

I have been locking my tresses for 11 months and have been natural for 2 1/2 years. My big chop was in July 2007 and have never felt better about my appearance since going natural. I've had a perm for most of my life (since 5 yrs old) and was always curious about my real hair texture. It took me years to decide to go for it because of my fear of not having, what blacks folks have been calling for decades, good hair. I then began to notice all the sites that emerged, encouraging women of color to not be afraid of their own texture. People began proudly displaying pics, blogs, videos, of their beautiful afros, curls, and locs. I too wanted to be apart of the NATURAL MOVEMENT!!! So after 9 months of transitioning (with micros, kinky twists, straw curls, and weave ponytails), I decided to just do it! Since then, I haven't looked back. Here are a few pics that show my transition:
















Prevailing past the PERM even gave me confidence to lose weight. I felt that if I could endure such a major change with my hair, then I could do anything for the betterment of my temple. I will share my health regimen with anyone who wants it, just send me a message.
