Confessions of a Natural Hair Enthusiast

I must confess...
I am a Natural Hair Enthusiast. A long time ago, I too thought my hair was unmanageable. Well, that was until I learned all about my hair. In order to learn about my hair, I had to experiment. To be perfectly honest, I am still experimenting on my hair. These experiments include: Going to the Whole Foods Market, purchasing organic products, using new products, and practicing what I see on YouTube. 

In the past, I use to press out my hair, go out, and unintentionally come back home with a puff on my head. It was like all my hard work and effort went kaput. How dare my hair shrivel up as if I had not even touched it. How dare it not consult with me to see if that was what I wanted it to do. Well natural girls, that is something we have to risk when we go natural. Right? We have to risk our hair doing something not expected so we can perfect our hair styling techniques. 

Today I am living my life shrivel-up-free. No more pressing my hair and fearing that my hair will shrivel up. I have learned the tricks of the trade to wear "Curls of Pearl." Just see above.

Want to know more about these techniques or for me to answer your questions about being natural? Just reply to this post and I will help you with what I know.
