    Going natural

    Unfortunately in 2002 I had huge acne cysts on my face unlike any other acne I ever experienced.  So because I still trusted my doctors I went to my dermatologist who gave me a prescription that had to be taken for 6 months non stop.  I had to have blood work done and my liver tested just to take this prescription; that should have been a red flag.  Before I quit taking it, it being ACUTANE, some young man crashed an airplane into a building.  What was he taking?  ACUTANE.  So I quit right as my 6 months are almost over.  As a treat, I go get my hair relaxer touched up.  Well my stylist made an awful gasping noise.  Then I looked on the floor and to my dismay I saw enough hair for 2 people.  She told me my scalp turned a light purple and she forgot to ask me about my medication ahead of time; truly my fault because I didn’t know at the time that changing meds could affect my hair.  I drive home almost bald headed trying to think how to explain it to my husband.  I cried as soon as I rolled through our front door and he knew everything.  Thank goodness I didn’t have to go anywhere.  When my husband came home the next day he brought me a present a beautiful new scarf which he tied around my head.  I wore it proudly until my hair was long enough to be twisted.  Over the next several years I wore my own hair braided, twisted or flat ironed, in other words straight without chemicals.  In 2006 I decided to keep my hair locked permanently to make things easier for me as I get older.  So this is part of my journey through life.  To read more of my journey, go to www.iamakbar.com.
