Hair Ordeal Decision

This is about the hair ordeal I have been going through for the past 5 years or so, after my hair was damaged from a chemical application error, and sew-ins.  Recently in one of the pastors sermons he spoke about how unimportant hair was to the person overall.  I had some reservations about my hair and was wanting to go natural, but was embarrass of how I would look.  His sermon helped me to get over the embarrassment and I started approximately 2 months ago wearing my own hair.
Reverting back to when I use to care for my mother whose hair had also been damaged by chemical reactions and what she told me to do for her I started to do for my hair two months ago. Not paying attention to the products and asking people what they put on their hair. I broke it off, although it is recovering now, let me be the first to tell you, if your product is outdated please throw it away.  It has no place in your hair. I have had some good and bad reviews from church members, family and friends, To them I say thank you, you will like it when its done.  My mom asked me to shampoo, condition,oil and braid her hair up, when she expired December 18, 2005 her hair was on her shoulder and she was beautiful.  I am saying is this, I am going to do the same thing for my hair with 1 exception. I am not braiding it. I am twisting it, loving my look and thanking God every day for telling me to stop the sew-ins, take off the wigs, no chemicals and wait for my crown of glory to return. It is getting much thicker growing back in the places it was shadow. I am so glad I listened to that soft voice the 1 day as I looked in the mirror.
