Name: Nicole W.
Q: What is your hair story? What kind of hair styles have you rocked, before embracing your natural hair?
A: My mother is a cosmetologist so my hair was always fried, dyed and laid to the side! I had a Jerri Curl from 5th through 7th grade and then in the 8th grade I got my first relaxer. I wore a relaxer from the age of 14 until 35 :o). I had a perm for almost 21 years and I really enjoyed having straight hair. While my hair was relaxed I would often wear my hair short or in a cute bob cut!
Q: When and why did you decide to start wearing your hair naturally?
A: I began to research natural hair in 2010 and I decided to go natural because I wanted to see what my natural hair looked like. So in July 2011 I did the big chop and never looked back!
Q: Did you have any big fears about going back to your natural texture?

A: If you are thinking of going natural do so because this is what you want not because your friends etc. are pressuring you to go natural. Going natural is a personal choice don’t mind what people will say just know you made a choice to have healthier hair. Take the opportunity to educate them if they question why you went natural.
