A little bit about me. I first went natural in August 2004. I decided to go natural simply because I liked how it looked. It was not an attempt to find myself. As I began to research natural hair, I came to appreciate natural hair in all textures and my journey also became one of self-acceptance. I remained natural until December 2007 when I decided to relax again. I grew tired of the relaxer and did the big chop again in April 2010.
