I am exposed to natural hair everyday of my life because my girlfriend is natural and I was there to witness her beautiful transition! :-) My girlfriend is also best friends with someone we know Ms. Sharon Denise who started her own business Napturally Mine Apparel focusing on natural beauty so, it's all around me! :-) They compare notes and talk all the time...
I think a woman that embraces her natural beauty in general is beautiful. But, having a girlfriend that went natural and I actually was there to witness her transitioning to her natural hair was beautiful. It's more than just a process. I watched as she gained confidence in her hair, her look & just enjoyed watching her trying different things as her hair began to grow more & change. It's a beautiful transformation INSIDE as well as OUTSIDE. I'm happy I got to witness it first hand...
Natural hair is unique because it is a true extension of the person who wears it. When women make the choice to go natural it is a process and a tough process at that, taking the time to find out what works & what doesn't work, getting advice in the process. The beauty is in the journey so I think just the devotion to the journey and the fact that the hair is fully natural is just beautiful and fulfilling for a woman wearing her natural hair...
Sisters considering going natural is a beautiful thing. But, I think before they go they should do the research, find out about transitioning & talk to other women that have taken the plunge. I think it's great that so many women are doing it but, make sure you're doing it for the right reasons. Do it because you want to do it & it's for you, not because you see a lot of women doing it. Take some time, do the research and if it's for you, go for it!!!
I personally don't have a hairstyle preference my girlfriend has had just about every hairstyle you can imagine! LoL!!! Even before she was natural, so I like beauty in general. But, what I think is truly eye catching is natural curls with a deep curl set! That is my favorite! :-) I love variety, so in a way I love them all, different styles of braiding, afros, curls, straightened, I love it all. It is great when a woman is fearless about trying different styles..My girlfriend is fearless she will try them all... :-)
I would simply like to say to the natural women keep on keeping on & make sure you help other women who are considering making the move to natural! :-)
