So guys I know that you aren't use to seeing me this way, but I have always loved a fro since middle school.  I know being natural seems like a trend to many, but honestly I just got tired of the wrong applications of a relaxer and the burns on my scalp.  My mother relaxed my hair at 5 and I continued to get them until about 14.  I begged my mother for about two years for me to stop getting them because they were so painful, and she would tell me no I didn't have that type of hair, which was true it was extremely coarse but not so much now.  I really don't believe in good or bad hair just some are blessed to have easier hair to manage; mine is on the medium side.   My brother was blessed with the easier hair wavy and soft; my hair is soft but tightly curled and thick which isn't such a good match.  Anyway my hairstylist at the time name was Tony and he told my mom to let me grow out my relaxer.  Ever since then I have been on my natural journey.  I love wearing my hair straight because it is easier to deal with for me, but I love having the option of wearing my hair big or super sleek.  I do have problems with heat damage, which is the reason why I cut 4 inches off in April, but hey straight hair is addicting lol.  I have my days when I just want to be boring or should I say simple; but then I have my crazy funky days where I just want to be free.  Yes I am a proud JAMAICAN and black is beautiful, but I like to wear different styles and showing how versatile I can be.  Please don't take this message as relaxers being bad, but I am not a fan of them.  Relaxers break down the bonds of your hair by stripping the nutrients, but what makes it worst is wrong applications.  So if you do chemical services, make sure you are treating your hair and making sure its applied properly.

THIS IS WHEN I CUT 4INCHES OF MY HAIR
