Your natural hair looks way better! Growing up in predominantly white spaces can do a number on our sense of self. Take it from someone who has totally seen life change for the better by rejecting the white gaze and embracing all that makes me special. Happy for your journey!
I was going natural & then I went to a Dominican salon for pictures. I didn’t know what they put in the shampoo but when I washed my hair it was all straight I cried . (They put a relaxer without telling anyone in shampoo)
No they dont , the Dominican blow out its just extremely high heat . Relaxer not going on shampoo .you can even smell the relaxer is a strong chemical .
Thanks for making this video!! I went natural for 2 years then started a corporate job and felt forced to assimilate and straighten my hair. I straightened my hair for a year and now I’m back on my journey all over again.
Thank you for sharing your hair journey! I come from a similar background, and I love how you blossomed! You can tell picture by picture just how much you loved your curls!!! This is incredibly inspiring for me to be patient with mine as well 😊✨
My daughter is in HS and is exactly how yours was. She has about same coil pattern 3B/C low porosity, its very dry and thin, frizzy. She is so tired of keeping up her hair that now she usually straightening and using Blow dryer with diffuser several times a week and showering with conditioner ( Maui Moisture) and not much shampoo and we're in ATX so the water is hard. I love her curls but she is very busy w cheer/theater after school and insist on straight cause of time. She doesn't want protective style either like box braids and personally think they would look great on her but she rather would like to add weaves probably clip-ins or glue. This last summer she damaged her hair further by literally bleaching and dying. I tried to talk her out of it but I needed to let her learn on her own. I would like to get her hair healthy with moisture and natural. Any suggestions - Struggling Dad
I’m just starting my transition, I’ll be 40 years old next year and I’ve stopped getting perms this past April 🙏 I’ve been getting perms since I was about 7 years old and has never seen my curl pattern 😅 we have similar testimonies
I’ve had not heat for 2 years coming up in September. I’ll be doing a length check in September by straightening but it won’t be straight for long as I like the natural look and feel x
hey! I have really short damaged relaxed hair and I’m trying to transition to natural. I go to school and we are not allowed to wear any extensions, braids, weaves, etc. There is not much that I can do to my hair. It’s so uneven that the left side is longer than the right. I cant do any simple styles and i dont have enough hair for a big chop. Any tips would be great!❤
