Ever since I was thirteen-years-old, my hair became the way I expressed myself. As a
young girl my mom would always do my hair but I wouldn’t always like the way it turned out. She tolerated my complaints for a while until finally, when I was in seventh grade, she turned the responsibility of my hair over to me. At this time my hair was natural, never having been touched by any chemicals. It was extremely thick, curly, long. In one word it was unmanageable. Everyone loved my hair in its natural state but from the standpoint of me trying to maintain it and create different styles on a daily basis proved too difficult. Having had enough, I made the decision to relax my hair. It is now ten years later and I have never regretted my decision. Relaxing my hair saves time and gives me opportunities to do so many other styles that may not been as achievable with my natural hair. I now have a passion for doing hair and enjoy trying new things. Even though my hair is now straight I still have a variety of hairstyles that can make my hair curly, long, way or anything else I desire. If your hair is relaxed or you are thinking of making that change, just remember that it does come with a greater responsibility. Having chemicals in your hair means it needs to be treated with the proper hair products in order to keep it healthy. Personally, I like to use products that contain a lot of natural ingedients such as olive oil, cocunut oil, avocado. These ingredients can be found in African Pride products, which is one of my favorite brands. If that does not work for you, don’t be discouraged. Everyone is different, so it may take you awhile to find your product niche. When you do, be ready to embark on the continuing adventure of hair care that could lead you to some exciting places!
