October 18, 2002
I'm getting microbraids tomorrow and I'm excited. I'm not looking forward to sitting there for hours but I'll keep you posted on how it went. I cut off about 5 inches of my ends last weekend and wore a head wrap all week. I've deep conditioned and am ready to get braided. I plan to wear them for 2 months minimum then cut them out. Stay tuned. -- ini

October 2002
I decided to stop relaxing my hair in August of this year. I decided to see if I could keep the scissors out of my hair (barring trims) for 2 years. The 2 year mark passed in August 2002 and I'm going natural again (I miss it).
