I've been natural for almost 5 years now. It was a slow process as I
stopped perming, cut my straight hair to shoulder length and kept
cutting it to maintain that length as my natural hair grow in and the all straight
ends were completely gone. During this time I flat ironed my natural hair
so that it would "blend in" with what was left of my relaxed hair. Once, all straight ends were gone I wore my hair naturally from
2008-2009 but struggled to find products that would keep my hair
moisturized and tangle free. I used mostly tea tree oil and Garnier Fructis curl scrunch gel which left my hair sticky.
My journey to dreads began in August 19th 2009 and I've been extremely happy about the
process. I had my brother as a mentor who suggested products that would
keep my locs clean, neat, moisturized and those that would maintain
strength. A few products that captured my heart were the organic twist
and loc gel, to tree oils, and tea tree mint shampoo and conditioner
(sulfate free) by organix. I wash and palm roll my locs every three
weeks. I love my locs and love trying new styles with them each time I get a retwist. They're easy to manage, maintain and are versatile!
