My Journey:
My journey has been an amazing experience thus far because I have learned to care for my hair in it’s natural state and truly embrace my natural beauty. In addition, I’ve been able to try some of the techniques and products on my daughter’s hair and encourage her to be confident and appreciate her inner and outer beauty.
How long did your hair grow? Up to 1.5 inches in some areas
Hair Idol? I can’t narrow it down to just one..Corine Bailey Rae, Solange, Tracee Ellis Ross, Yaya Dacosta, Janelle Monae. I could go on and on. I am inspired by so many different people because they are each so unique and show how much diversity there is with wearing your hair natural.

Advice for naturals? Embrace each phase, don’t be afraid to ask questions and be patient!!!”Going natural” requires a lot of patience. Reach out to your fellow naturalistas for support and advice. Appreciate the trial and error because that is how you learn what styles and products truly work for your hair. If you can stick through the challenging times, the results will be well worth it. :”>
