If I am not mistaken, six years ago or about seven, I decided to start my natural hair journey, like rock my natural God given kinky, without the use of a relaxer, I mean, all my life I have been using relaxers, so I felt it wouldn't be a bad idea to start afresh. Good for me, I didn't have to go through the transition process like I hear people do now, I was already on low-cut hair, so it was just for me to stop bathing and start the journey.

The first two years, I can say weren't the best years of mine, did not know how to start the natural hair journey, and we didn't have as we have now, many people far and wide doing videos of how they started their natural hair care journey, so you can imagine the struggle.

It is real and a hard one, I remember a far distant friend after one year, came visiting and was surprised at the state of my hair, more like it wasn't growing and appealing to the eyes, and the worst part was, I didn't have a good phone that could help me do the job better.

I got discouragement from hair saloons and friends about giving up the natural hair journey because it seemed it wasn't working for me at a point, I considered that option but after much deliberation, I decided that I wasn't going to relax my hair no matter what people said.

A year later, I was lucky to have internet, and so my sourcing for the right knowledge started, It took me sleepless nights and days to be able to come up with the right information I needed to be able to manage my hair, so I began the journey of taking care of my natural hair as it was meant to be and stopped going to those saloons who were always giving bad comments about my hair and about me keeping my natural hair.

I took care and washed the right way, I was taught on the Internet, did a few DIYs I could lay my hands on, treated my hair with the amount Of care and attention I was taught to, gave my hair its right supplement to help boost it and it has been years down the road and I am glad it started the journey. I learned everything that I needed to learn to be able to care for my hair through YouTube channels.

I learned the different types of herbs that can be used in my hair, the advantages and disadvantages of each of them, and how I can use them for effective long and healthy hair growth, learned that I should concentrate more on having healthy hair instead of having a long hair as a healthy hair can produce a long hair without stress and one needs a healthy hair to be able to say their hair is long.

I learned the types of hair types we have and how each can be taken care of and also the types of hair products this hair needs to stay healthy, I also learned that quantities of herbs matter in making our DIYs at home, so it doesn't harm our hair instead of helping our hair and with my hair length today, I am proud I made that choice.
