It’s really beautiful how more and more people are coming to love and appreciate their natural hair. For the longest time I think we all were a little intimidated by the thought of wearing our hair natural. African hair needs a little extra love, but recently there has been this crazy boom of information about black hair care and I think we’re all coming to understand our hair in whole new ways. And now styling and maintain our natural hair isn’t as daunting a task as it used to be. Natural hair is beautiful, and sometimes our hair needs a break from all the back-to-back protective styles.
