Are you that person that has continuously dyed their hair over the years that you can't remember the exact hair color you were born with? This was a related conundrum for me except that I couldn't exactly remember my hair texture. What was my natural hair texture? I had a good idea of how it was by flipping through childhood pictures of me. I then thought this is sad. I soon came to the conclusion that I wouldn't put anymore relaxers in my hair for a good while until the health of my hair was restored. I then thought again...why put harmful chemicals in my hair on hold until my hair was rejuvenated? Did that make any sense? NO, it didn’t. I tried my very best to keep my relaxed hair healthy but it was a vicious cycle of me touching up my new growth, and that growth would be in vain because my ends would split, which means me trimming them off and occasionally getting serviced by a scissor happy hair stylist (CHOP, CHOP).This was a big waste of time for me.I had to make sense of it all and I couldn’t. Right before my second trip to Jamaica in 09' with my bff's was when my natural hair journey began and still continues...
