About the Blog

Hello to all my natural beauties!!

Google Images (Straight to Natural hair)
My name is Lexi and I've been natural for a little over a year now. I had my first relaxer when I was 9 years old and, at 22 years old, decided it was enough. I've always been fond of the kinky curls and hated the fact that some people would tell me that my natural hair was not 'proper' or 'conventional' enough. So, I went with my heart and did the big chop! Boy was it liberating! After going natural, I met so many women going through the same things I did, which was absolutely amazing. We all shared the same insecurities, as going natural is not easy, especially due to this unjust stereotype about black hair. If it's not straight and smooth, it's not pretty. Through this journey I've learned that us curly/kinky haired sisters have to stick together. So I thought I would write about my ongoing journey and the troubles of being a 'natural beauty' in my world and maybe help some people out. I will be posting pictures of my big chop and my hair journey, as well as products I have been using. Hopefully all of you will too. 

Thank you for visiting and stay tuned for more :)
