My Journey

Since about the 2nd grade, my hair has gone through almost any and everything- ALMOST. From “the big chop”, sew-ins, and dyes to presses, rinses, and relaxers, my hair and I have had many ups and downs. The only things I haven’t done are shaved any portion of my head or gotten a texturizer. I even attempted at dreadlocks once, but the way my patience and hair texture are set up, I wouldn’t see the results I wanted as soon as I wanted them.

Unfortunately, I am currently between the stage of heat damage and cutting my hair because of the poor decision making I did over the summer. Nevertheless, I have tried different things to gain back my natural curl and have found that there are a few methods that have worked for me, so luckily you all will benefit from my mistakes and travel with me on my journey back to natural, healthy hair.
