Rachel Lindsay Odem


Rachel has a beautiful and unique look. I contacted Rachel, and ask if she share her natural hair story on my blog. Here is what she had to say:

"Before I went natural, I wore weaves (occasionally) a classic bob, etc. I decided to wear my hair natural back in 1997, I made the decision because I felt like I was hiding my true self, I didn't like feeling.  I wasn't pretty if any naps showed anywhere on my head. I felt ugly, I would run to the salon to get a touch up the minute any naps showed. I hate that feeling I wanted to love who I was without the perm. The fears I had were how would my family, friends and boyfriend would like it."

After going natural - "I use Avlon Natural Textures, Miss Jessie's and sometimes I make things at home." For people that have concerns about going natural - "I would say to them accept that not everyone will like it, but as long as you like it that is all that matters."  - Rachel

  1. That last part is true...as long as you like it, that is what matters more than anything else. I like her chunky twists. Cute!

  2. i REALLY LOVE THAT LAST STATEMENT TOO. SHE LOOKS AMAZING.

    I HAVE A LOT OF FEMALE FRIENDS WHO ARE JUST CRINGING AT THE THOUGHT OF GOING NATURAL BUT WEARING AND SPENDING MONEY ON THE SAME HAIR THEY CAN GROW AND BE HAPPY WITH ALWAYS. ITS LIKE A WEAVABLE SPELL.
