The Quest Has Just Begun!!!

Hey mama-sitas!


First of all, I will be honest. I did not always think being natural was for me at first. Ever since I was a teenager, relaxers was all I ever did....let's say, every 4weeks for touch ups. Not good!

So from the time I hit my 20's, I recognised that all the experiments I've done to my hair as a teen, from glueing down my weaves and leaving it in because of laziness,and busy scheduls, I thought, "what's the harm"!!!

Ignorant bliss as some may say. My hair was as short as a BC. It wasn't even my choice. Lol. Let's say human nature made that choice for me. :)

Hither way, I had to change the way I saw MY HAIR. So I read websites upon websites, in trying to identify, which products works best for my hair.

The major issue was styling!!! I am a Beauty Therapist, so image is everything. How could I be natural, and still keep it looking proffessional?

Believe me, it was not easy, but to my surprise, everybody responded to the change well. Even my fella responded to my hair and felt proud that I do have good hair, so why hide it.

It was an awakening! My quest for the perfect curls was born. It has been almost a year since my last relaxer!!!!!!!! And I am still going strong!!!

When was your awakening? When did you FINALLY make that step, in becoming natural?
