My roommate from freshman year was considering going natural, so I did some research on it to see what it was all about. I'd never been all that interested in my natural hair texture when I was younger. I remember having box braids in my hair allll the time in elementary school because I wanted to look like Brandy in her Moesha days lol. When I was around 12 I got my first perm because I just wanted to look like everybody else which was a BIG MISTAKE.
My hair never really recovered from all the damage. My hair was dry and severely damaged from all the heat I put on it with constant flat ironing. So after doing some research, I decided that going natural would definitely be the best way for me to get my hair healthy again. I had my last perm in April, and let my hair transition with micro-braids until August, when I cut it all off.
What kind of reaction did you get from doing the BC?
I was afraid everyone would hate it, but my loved ones liked the TWA on me...but I still put micro braids back in my hair until it got to a length where I was comfortable wearing it out. I do get some joking comments about it from my older brother, but what are brothers for if not to annoy you?
Is there anything else you'd like to share with curly girls and guys?
Always remember that no matter if your hair is long and straight or short and curly, true confidence comes from within.
Also. Good hair= Healthy hair :)
