It seems that as time passes you hear of more and more women cutting their relaxed hair and 'freeing' themselves from social standards. You see women of color sporting a fierce TWA, stretching relaxers, and transitioning. Natural Hair is in, even the media is on board. Seeming to only be casting black women with big curly natural hair in television commercials.
Big Curly Natural Hair-- everything a newly natural longs for. It all looks easy from the outside looking in right? That is until you realize that the Big and Curly look may take a little longer than you bargained for.
Just remember. This is a JOURNEY. So while you're surfing through YouTube channels and googling everything natural hair remember your hair is your own. There may be someone out there who has a curl pattern similar to yours, but no one has your unique curls. OWN THAT! Try not to become envious of the vloggers and bloggers ((i know its hard when you have a hair crush)) As your hair is growing longer and stronger you yourself should be as well. Take the time to get to know your hair and Y0U.
The best way to achieve long healthy hair is to work from the inside out. Its one thing to keep your tresses hydrated but what about your body? Are you getting enough water? What about your fruit and vegetable intake? Are you feeling stressed? Once you are taking care of your body, healthy hair is destined to follow.
Being natural is more than no longer undergoing head frying sessions. Its embracing a whole new self confidence. Being naturally you. So you better werk *snaps fingers*
