I wanted to come on and discuss about my story. I want to share my story about what made me decide to go natural. I've been natural for about 10 years and trust me I had to cut my hair two times. The first time when I decided to go natural is that I no longer wanted to continue with the relaxer. I noticed that my hair is breaking and I was tired of the scalp burns. When I was transitioning to become a natural. I just stuck to braids the whole time. Until one day I decided to cut it off. When I cut it off I didn't know what to do with it. So, I went to a hairstylist and I guess back then a few years ago. I guess natural hair care wasn't the popularity as compared to relaxed hair. So, she just told me to texturizer it and little did I know that texturizer led me to do a second chop.

So, that was an experience that I didn't want to go through again so I really had to educated myself on how to care for my hair type and to understand what my hair type is for me.

I remember back in the day when I was growing up with chemically relaxed hair.

I had no idea on how to wear my hair any other way. You know what I mean. You get an relaxer every 6-8 weeks as soon as your hair roots grow out. For years I came to realize

that black women were influenced by having the hair straight it has to be silky pressed and I look at that was the go-to answer in order to have quote-unquote the ideal hair or in our black community as women the natural hair being relaxed. As I grew older I realized the increased effort it took to maintain my hair straighten meaning that I would have to constantly flat iron it and it was integrated with curling my hair or straightening my hair, you know, through flat ironing. Eventually I realized this was not the natural mean. I questioned my identity and my individuality. I questioned myself on what my hair said about me. Who am I?
