Hello Stylistas! Some of you have been asking me about going natural. My journey (From my big chop to present). Why I did it. How much have I enjoyed the freedom of being natural and just plain where to start! Well, May 31, 2012, I will be officially one year natural! When, I first started my natural hair encounter, I have to admit, I was discouraged and feeling plain "unpretty". My hair would not do what I wanted it to do. I didnt think it looked the way I felt it was supposed to look. I suffered with "dry hair" syndrome a lot. When, you first cut your hair off, I think it goes into shock and once your natural roots start to break through, I think they awaken very thirsty, hence constant dry hair! But as I continued with my natural hair freedom, I discovered You Tube. Now, I know all of you know about You Tube and the wealth of information you can find there. I first was looking for sistahs who were using what I considered "the right products." All I wanted was for my hair to retain moisture! Then I came across the young lady featured in the above video by typing in the words TWA (no, not the airline) Teeny Weeny Afro, because that is what I had. I followed Iknowlee's channel (later found out her name is Helecia and later became correspondents via text and email) and found out not only is she super stylish, sweet as can be, but she also knows a lot about natural hair. Her videos have been inspiring to me and I have picked up a lot of tips from her along the way. If you are considering going natural or are just curious and maybe don't even really know where to start, check out this video entitled "Dear Newly Naturals" by Iknowlee :)
P.S. - Special thanks to Helecia for being a part of my hair forum!
