Curl friends, I'm Shay or Dollaz, which ever you'd like to call me. I've been natural my entire life. I have ran into some break downs where I've went to beauty salons and the women put a relaxer in my deep conditioner. The first time happened when I was around 7 and the second time happened when I was around 19. When I was 19, I was devastated because I'm known for my fro. (more…)...
Oh, Hi there! My name is Whitney Romeo and I have 3a/b type curls. Usually when people ask me “How long have you been natural?” I look at them with a blank stare and say ummmm…. Well????? I don’t know. (more…)...
Hey curl friends! Im Krissy :)
I made the decision to no longer relax my hair back in 2008. Being that I had no idea how to properly maintain my hair, I knew this would be an interesting journey. (more…)...
Hi Curl Friends. My name is Nella and I've been happily natural for four years. What inspired me to return to natural is the fact that I began to experience major breakage. I realized that my hair was shedding uncontrollably and that something had to change.

Hey, I'm Tylene Endegó but you can call me Endy for short. I've been natural for about 2 years now and I love it 😍. What made me decide this path was because realizing that my hair was beautiful in its natural state. Why change it to make society feel more comfortable about who I was. (more…)...
Going natural was a huge journey for me! Honestly, what made me go natural is a really funny story. One day, I was looking up videos on hair masks because my hair was pretty thin, and then the woman said that she does it twice a week and washes her hair out.. (more…)...
Hey everyone my name is Candy and my hair journey started with a hair mess up. In 2010 I went to Harlem with my friend to get a relaxer she had referred this stylist to me. we both went excited to get our hair laid!! Instead I left the salon with limp stringy hair. Not really sure what I wanted to do I just decided to lay off my hair with relaxer for a while. It was a couple of months after that I decided to cut my shoulder length somewhat healthy hair into a bob.I wasn't ready to cut my hair super short but it did help speed the process along.

Hi,
My name is Erica, I'm Nigerian, born & bred and I am a newbie in the natural world. I have spent years fantasizing about becoming a "natural". I finally made the decision to go natural in November 2016 -I'm not even a year natural yet!- and ever since I did my big chop its been nothing short of a rewarding journey. Like any journey, I have had my ups and downs when it comes to ensuring proper health and maintenance of my mane. (more…)...
Hey Curlfriends,
I'm Asia and I've been 'returning my hair to its natural state' for about 5 years now. I say 'returning' because I like to keep I mind that this is more than just a 'trend' or a 'movement' of some sort. Embracing and cultivating my hair has been a long and continuous journey for me and although it started off on a rough note, I'm still here! (more…)...
