After about 3 months of “new growth” I began to notice that the texture of my “virgin hair” wasn’t as nappy as I remembered. Maybe it was all those years of rushing to cover up the new growth every 6 weeks (ok, let’s be real, every 10+ weeks) with a touch-up, that I never noticed that my hair might actually be manageable without a relaxer.
I began fantasizing about my new chic look; rocking tight ringlet curls. Curiosity got the best of me and I did “the big chop”. I got the shock of my life! All this face and so little hair!
I had tight curls all right; so tight that they formed a mat on the top of my head. My hair was so short that I couldn’t even form it into a braid. I didn’t just have a fro, I had a TWA-teeny, weenie Afro. There was no turning back now. I had to work with what I had.
Finding a stylist for natural hair was almost impossible and when I moved to Europe that following year, I knew it was up to me to take care of my own hair. After 5 years of research, trial and error, I found a flexible regime that works just right for me and allows me to wear my hair in just about any style I please. My hair is stronger and healthier that ever before and I’m proud to represent a natural sister.
 What separates the Hairoine from others?
If you're reading this, chances are you've
already thought about the (often
unpronounceable) chemicals found in products we
use daily and their effectiveness. More and
more people are becoming aware of the
potentially harmful effects of chemicals to the
body and want to make a conscious decision to do
something about it. But where do you start? If
you look, you will find, and right now there are
a growing number of companies, websites and
self-proclaimed experts trying to spread the
word by selling their products to the 'naturally
conscious'. What makes the Hairoine different?
I understand that change can often times be
difficult, especially if it's going against the
grain and requires some effort on your part.
How many times have we avoided doing something
because we thought it would be too
time-consuming and complicated, only to ask
ourselves why we hadn't done it sooner?!? Don't
put it off any longer! The information is at
your fingertips. Whether you're a novice or a
long time believer in natural products, the Hairoine can help by putting it all together and
giving you the bigger picture. |
