So when I became an adult and had my own money I had my hair relaxed, straightened so I'll have long and shiny hair. Well I did have that but for only 3 months then I had to have my hair treated again.
I was actually torturing my hair and my wallet : (. Finally I realized that its not really worth it and I stopped having my natural kinky hair treated .... and embraced its beauty.
It took me years to accept my natural curly hair with all the shampoo commercials glorifying long straight hair but then I decided enough is enough. I have learned to be content with what nature gave me and stop trying to change it.
So now I can truly say I LOVE MY HAIR !
