My Relaxerless Journey

In July of last year I decided to try the "natural" thing AGAIN having failed miserably about five years ago. So I let the best thing to happen to hair, Marcela basically give me a buzz cut. It wasn't really a buzz cut but it was short! Let me just say that this is a journey. Taking care of natural hair requires more studying than the courses I am currently taking. I've used a ton of products that worked well for others but failed miserably for me.

For example the Kinky Curly line and I did not vibe. I'm currently using a combination of two lines. So far, so good. I started with Sheamoisture shampoo, conditioner and Curling Smoothie. This combination gives my natural curl a good look but I was unhappy with how dry my hair felt. So, I added the Wen system to the mix and my hair definitely feels more moisturized. Soon, I plan to try some protective styles, two strand twists in particular. If you're joining me on this journey, I'd love to hear your stories.

    Im not brave enough yet to go back to the natural look being that I just started getting perms at the age of 21. I would love to be natural but I'm scared to make the transition. I am enjoying my daughter's natural hair. I haven't done much research on Wen but is it ok for children? I wish she would agree to get dreads but she's not interested and I wouldn't dare force something like that on her.

    Thanks for reading. I understand your daughter's apprehension when it comes to dreads. My cousin has them though. She loves them and I think they're beautiful. As far as Wen and safety in children, the creators haven't specifically addresses that. I do however use it in my daughter's hair.
