My natural hair journey started November 2019 when I destroyed my hair while bleaching it red. In addition to the damage, two things happened: for some reasons perms were no longer straigthening my hair, and secondly I was post menopaused and wanted to eliminate as many chemicals introduced to my body. This was when and why I decided to got all natural.
I quickly realized I'd forgotten how to take care of my 4C natural hair because for the past few decades (mid 1980's) I constantly wore braids, wigs, and weaves in my relaxed hair.
During this time, I was well aware of the second "Natural Hair Movement" that kicked into gear around the late 1990's. So when I decided to do "The Big Chop", thank God a massive community of natural hair influencers were available on YouTube. I learned so much from this community, and as it turned out going natural was the best decision I've made outside of giving my life to Jesus Christ.
I started documenting my natural hair journey on YouTube in July 2023. If you have 4c hair and thinking about going natural, please subscribe to my channel, and ring the bell so you will never miss a post.
