Really, I started out wearing hair extentions and when my hair started to grow thats when I noticed I had nice curly kinky hair, so I cut off the relaxer and have been natural ever since, my hair seems to grow faster when I take vitamins like vitamin E, Omega 3, Fish oil tablets, B12 Complex and Garlic gels, my nails are longer and strong and my hair does not shead anymore.
This is a great topic, and I love the pictures!
I was growing my hair naturally from 2001 to 2005, then in 2005 my sister convinced me to get a perm. I hate my hair permed, it never looks right and I feel fake when I have it that way. I feel better with braids or a fro or something, I dunno.
I would like to start taking those vitamins and really getting to know my hair.
It really is a love hate relationship, some days I absolutely love my hair and then other times I want to just cut it all off or put a weave back into it, but as soon as I am ready to throw in the towel my hair shows me how beautiful and wonderful it is. and then I am renewed and happy again to be natural. So I would say just don't give up and don't give in to others who do not understand your journey.
The stigma on black hair has to go. It's ridiculous how much time/$$/effort I put into my hair.
It is true that too much time and not to mention hair products go into trying to keep our hair looking good.

I love those hairstyles. I can't get my hair to grow for anything though, so I cut it off and start wearing wigs
