Hello Beauties,
Welcome to Aphrodite Kinks, hope that you will enjoy your time here learning all things love, beauty, and kinks of course.
Aphrodite Kinks, a bit self explanatory but here it goes….On my journey, transitioning from permed hair to natural hair, I enlighten you about some of my own transitioning ups and downs. I also provide you with information to keep your hair healthy. Natural hair is about embracing your natural kinks and loving you.
So a little about me!
Aries, born and raised in Brooklyn, New York(reppin’ Jamaica to the fullest).
Now about my hair! I was a transitioning natural; my last chemical treatment was March 31, 2011. So, I guess you can say that I transitioned since then. I don’t remember the actual day I decided I wanted to go natural, but there was just something about it I just fell in love with. Why I went natural you may ask? Well here’s the low down:
1) Many of my younger cousins whom I grew up with as sisters have remained natural and seeing them with their natural hair made me see how beautiful it is.
2) Good Hair by Chris Rock!!! This movie/documentary opened my eyes to a lot of things. You have to see it to understand.
3) Comparisons of the health of my hair throughout the 7 years my hair was chemically relaxed. (It was BAD!)
4) Curiosity to see my hair texture after so many years. Plus I have always loved curly hair.
5) Naptural85 KimmayTube & CurlyNikki. I did my research saw their hair and just fell in love.
All of these pretty much helped me to proceed into my 11 month transition(Yes, like many I was terrified of short hair). Finally, the day came and I did my BC(Big Chop) on March 16, 2012, YAY!! . Oh, and I have been falling in love with my hair ever since. Check me out 5 months kinkalicious…

You too can learn to love your natural kinks…..so why not now! Hope that I can help inspire as well as aid you along your own journeys.
Hope you all enjoy!
With Love,
BkAphrodite

Thank you. I’m transitioning as well & I too noticed the scarcity of transition blogs/websites…this is compounded by my being a Caribbean citizen from Barbados. There is very little in way of product availability,information & camaraderie, so I’m grateful for my curlfriends :). Keep it up!

Wow you actually started transitioning four months before i did. I decided to transition in Julyof 2011. I like the fact that you are doing a transitiong blog. I did a partial “bc” where i just cut the chemical out of the back of my hair in like a cute cropped cut and left the front a lil longer because I feared being completely short but and tho it has been growing out alot I still havent gotten up the courage to remove that chemical yet..anywho I subscribed to your blog because I would love to be updated with your progress.

Your welcome!! Hmm how did I get the strength to cut the back??? Thats actually a good question..lol Well my best friend has also taken the natural journey and shes the one who encouraged me too try again. She had did the big chop like two months proir and her curls looked AWESOME!! I wanted to see what my curk would actually look like and I knew the only way to get the real image would be to cut it I didnt want to cut my all the relaxer out so I just decided to get the back cut out and keep the front so I could still have a bang..lol it turned out cute..and ever since i just have been gradually cutting the front part its almost gone now. (sorry for being so long winded! lol)

Thanks for sharing your journey with us, it is so encouraging to see women do this! I have been natural for almost 4 years and am just discovering a host of information and insights about what people are doing on youtube. If you have not checked it out, I encourage you to look at http://www.youtube.com/user/kimmaytube?feature=g-all-u, she has videos from when she just started her natural process several years ago up until this point.
On another point, the big chop is not as scary as it may seem. I did it when I had about two inches of new growth and absolutely loved it!

Hello Goddess – thanks for an interesting blog. I am your polar opposite – board straight hair – haven’t colored it since I was in my thirties – now approaching 60 with my mostly gray, baby-fine, no-curl-in-sight locks. Keep writing – your quest for naturality is inspiring and supportive!
