Black Girl Bare Minimum

Our Natural Hair Journeys


Listen Later

In this episode, we're getting real about our hair stories—from childhood relaxers to the big chop, and now our journey with locs. We share what it was like growing up with relaxers, the shift to embracing our natural textures, and reflect on the cultural impact of the natural hair movement. Plus, we're taking a nostalgic trip down memory lane with some of our funniest and most memorable hair moments.

Whether you’re natural, relaxed, loc’d up, or somewhere in between—this one’s for you. 💁🏾‍♀️✨

Follow us & share with your homegirls. 💕
