It was five years ago on my birthday when I decided it was my last relaxer. I was just so tired of my hair breaking off, it only growing to a certain length and just the expense of keeping it up. I wasn't very knowledgeable about going natural at the time so I got press and curls or went to the Dominican salon. I also wore my share of weaves, braids, had my hair long and short and so many different colors. My hair seemed healthier, it was growing but still shedding like crazy. I really didn't do much with my hair except wrap it, put some kind of product on it and did flat iron when needed. Little did I know all the heat damage I was doing to my hair. In my area, I really didn't see a lot of people with natural hair. Every female had a relaxer, weave, braids, you name it. So I really had no one to ask how to properly manage natural hair, how to style it, or just what to do. The only thing I could do was turn to the Internet.
Sometime around last year, I really started to notice the natural hair movement. I saw a lot more women rocking their natural hair and it was beautiful. Around that time I lost my job and was trying to cut on expenses and save money. I decided to start doing my hair myself. It was really rough at first but after watching a lot of YouTube, researching on the Internet, I finally found a hair regimen that worked for me. My hair is so much healthier, so manageable and I love my natural hair. I will post on my current routine, products I use and just more about my hair journey! Feel free so share your stories!
