Hair

Natural.

After 10 years of using the "creamy crack", I decided last year that I would go natural. Now I dont have a bad grade of hair to begin with. There is some Portuguese-Irish and Native American in my blood, so even though I am African American, my hair came out soft and naturally curly. When I was about 13, I got tired of my thick and tight curls and decided that I wanted to be like all of the other African American girls and be able to wear my hair flat and in wraps. I started getting relaxers like every 6 months and it did well. I was able to go from Curly Sue to a Wrap Do whenever I wanted. As the years passed, I

learned more about how to manage my hair without chemicals and realized that I can have the same look without getting a relaxer.

Its been a year and 6 months since my last relaxer. M

y hair has been growing faster and is more healthier. I do not use any chemicals in my hair. Just rosemary & green tea shampoo and conditioner and coco

nut oil. It has been a smooth transition from chemi to natural. I didnt have to cut my hair as much when the relaxer was growing out which was great. T

he only downfall to my hair now is that it takes me 2 hours to flat iron it. This is more due to the length that it is because my curls are soft and very easy to comb through.

I appreciate my naturally curly hair now. If I could go back to when I was 13, I would have just been more patient and learned how to manage my hair without chemicals. Now that I know, I can still have cute hair styles :).

Peace & Love,
