I am on week 17 sans relaxer and I feel like these kinks and coils are working against me! I ask myself, I say “Self, why are we doing this?”. Of course, I don’t respond because then I would be labeled as crazy.
I remind myself that I want my hair in a healthy state like when I was younger. Ridding myself of the relaxer would be helpful since I didn’t have one when I was young. I also want to experience my natural hair pattern. I don’t really know what it looks like and I’m curious. Lastly, the natural hair movement is taking over and I really admire some of the Naturalistas out there that are making natural hair a beloved thing not just in the Black community, but all over.
I look at photos on Pinterest and Instagram for inspiration. And so, my journey continues…
