Are you natural or considering going natural? Natural is a process that requires patience and understanding of your mane. I have been natural as of January 2013. Initially, I did it to teach my preteen daughter to embrace her natural look. But I fell in love with me by going natural.
For most of my life I hated my natural curl. I wanted to be straight like everyone else. For years
I hid behind perms first then weaves and finally wigs. Even with straight, long hair I still hated my hair. The outer me was dissipating into an insecure mess. I felt complete with my wigs only. It was horrible I hated me so much.
Finally, I had enough it was time to stop hiding and face myself. To be vulnerable and comfortable at the same time. So with that came the Big Chop. I was ready to be free.
I am so happy now. I love me and my curly mane. I exude confidence and a sense of self I never felt before. Sexy suits me and is no longer ill fitting. Kinky Girls Rock!
