        Love it! I’ve been natural for about 15 yrs and will never go back to relaxing my hair. For those afraid to try it, don’t be. Embrace all of that beautiful crown of hair that is completely you and take your strides in confidence! Head held high! Natural beauty is beautiful!

        This is bingo! I have often viewed our women losing their African-ness with so much fake adornment and regalia. Go girl, go!!
