How long have you worn your hair in its natural state?
In 2011 I stopped relaxing my hair. Nevertheless, I was not used to the texture of my roots. Hence, my mother recommended me to use a texturizer. Unaware of the consequences I used it multiple times…until 2013. My hairdresser did not understand why the relaxer was not going out of my hair, until I told her that I have been using a texturizer. She immediately informed me that a texturizer is the same as a relaxer. So actually I am a year natural now.
What is the naturally curly hair community like where you live?
Year after year, there are more naturals in the Netherlands. A few years ago the supply of curly hair products was very low, until the natural hair movement started. I think that this motivated more girls to stop relaxing their hair and to take profit of the great hair products which are now available in the Dutch market. Lots of people like the beauty of our curls and ask continuously questions related to hair care and products.
