My Natural...
Before there were locs there was my TWA (teeny weeny afro). I can't believe I have been natural for about 7 years now. I decided to go natural the summer before my senior year of high school. That random moment may have been the bravest thing I've done, I swear I was the only girl with natural hair in my high school.

My natural hair texture ranges from super kinky to looser curls. I used to "no poo" with Sauve's coconut conditioner. This conditioner really brought out my "curl" pattern.

I lived by my twists! My mom used to twist my hair on the weekend. I love love loved Mango Butter not only did it smell yummy it kept my hair moisturized. Sometimes I even used jam (don't judge me lol)
