Finally Proud of My Curly Hair!

Throughout high school I tried so many hair styles without knowing how to manage my own hair. For the first year, I wore my hair up in this horrid hair style that was essentially just a messy bun I threw up after I took a shower. When I realized how horrible that was, I cut my hair short and straightened it every day. I tried getting it chemically straightened but my thick hair was stubborn. For a couple years, the only way I liked my hair was straightened.

Finally at the end of my high school career and beginning of my college career, I figured it out. Naturally, curly hair is beautiful. And my hair is beautiful. WHY in the world could I not realize that?

Now, I proudly wear my hair curly pretty much every day. I straighten it maybe once a month and I love it. All i do it wash it and spray some curly hair spray gel in it, scrunch it and go.

The only problem I have now is how long it takes to dry. I'm working on it but I'm happy I have a newfound love for my hair :)
