I have not chemically processed my hair in almost 4 yrs. The decision to ‘go natural’ was not a stand for self-love, but because of the damage relaxers have done to my hair. At first I was devastated about the declining health of my hair and fearful and uncertain about going natural. I felt I would be no longer viewed as attractive by others and not accepted. For a year a wore a weave to allow my hair to rest and revive itself. I wasn’t fully comfortable with the weave, but kept with it to help my natural hair. The moment I removed the weave I was thrilled of how healthy and beautiful my natural hair was. To my surprise I have become very skilled at caring for and styling my hair. I have never felt more beautiful and fly! I slay with my natural hair on the daily basis 🙂 !
