This is my 2nd and hopefully last natural hair journey. My first natural journey was over a decade ago, when there weren't hair care products geared towards natural hair care and stylists discouraged natural hair because of inexperience and sheer laziness. I ended up relaxing my hair 6 months after my big chop because I didn't know what to do with it. Let's face it, there was no YouTube and I didn't have the support of a 'curlfriend' to encourage me through my journey. I recently decided to give natural hair another chance because of the plethora of natural hair care products available and also because I was simply tired of wearing a perm. I also love the versatility of natural hair. My last perm was around mid-April and I did the proverbial big chop on 6/16 because I was tired of having two different textures fight on top of my head. Can we say "birds nest"? (lol) Anywho, the bond between Tasha and I became closer when we realized we were embarking upon the same journey. I swear, since we both realized we were "going natural", we've updated each other daily on all things natural. We religiously email/text/call regarding products we love/hate, pics of natural hairstyles we want to achieve, our favorite youtube links,and hair care regimens. I'm sure you get the idea by now, which was the driving force behind curlfriends. It's our mission to share our resources, ideas, tips, and experience about natural haircare as we continue our journey. We welcome you to join us and come along for the ride.
