Hello Hiveians
Its a huge challenge to be embrace oneself the way we were created.
With the advent of body shamming and bullying one tends to have low self esteem and often give in to what the crowd says about you.
Many are on the lookout for big hips, bust or even bleach their skin to a particular color, what about the pink lips seekers?
We believe that looking in a particular way will make us acceptable, the ever desired perfect figure eight.
True Beauty is accepting yourself the way you are.
My journey to stay natural started in 2017 when I decided to cut off my relaxed hair, at first we Africans rocked our curly natural hair before the advent of relaxes when we decided to stretch our hair and make them more straight like the ones we see on the whites.
It came with lots of work load when i have to relax at intervals, to detangle the curls, even with proper maintenance the hair never grew past some certain length.
Our weather condition, nutrition and alot differs, i couldn't keep pretty straight long hairs like the whites because of the difference.
I cut off all the relaxed hair in 2017 and went natural using only shea butter coconut oil and moisturizers on my hair..
Its m 3 years journey now and am loving my Afro.
Throw back to when the hair was just coming up
