It will be three weeks on Saturday since I started my natural journey. It is amazing how much you pay attention to your hair when you go through such a huge transition. I have noticed every grey hair, every highlight, and every curl pattern since cutting it off. Watching it grow these past few weeks has been very educational. I have become a student of natural hair, desiring to learn everything about clarifying, moisturizing, cleaning and maintaining. My education has mainly been through blogs. One of my favorites is
Black girl with Long Hair. I also like Natural resources salon on Facebook. The creator of this site, also a natural hair stylist, has done so much with natural hair, she is truly amazing. Follow her!
My enthusiasm for natural hair is growing everyday. I have gotten so many compliments on my short cut, even from people that I felt would have something bad to say. I love the positive feedback, but regardless to what others think I feel strong and beautiful sans relaxed hair. When I used to listen to my aunt talk about why going natural was both an emotional and spiritual journey, I used to think she was being too deep about it. Now I fully understand. For me it has become a journey of myself-a journey that is making me more awareness of my needs, desires and goals.
