I've had naturally curly hair my whole life. When I was young I HATED it because I didn't have good products and I didn't know how to control it. I was constantly trying to flatten my hair to my head with hair spray or constantly pulling it back into a bun.
Of course, over the years I've grown accustomed to my hair and wouldn't know what to do if it wasn't curly. I use leave in conditioner spray, mousse, gel, and hairspray. I always blow dry halfway and then let it dry the rest of the way on its own.
If pulled straight my hair reaches the small of my back. Growing up my mom always kept it super short due to my fussing when she tried to tame it. I couldn't imagine not having long hair now. I barely cut it because with curly hair if you cut an inch it looks as though you've cut two or three inches.
This is my hair and I've grown proud of it. People always ask me if my hair is natural and where do I get my perm done,etc. HAHA... Yes, my hair is natural, no it's not a perm!
So, this is my hair!!
