Why I Decided To Go Natural

As a child and till about 2010 I used to have long hair but after colouring and over using heat appliances my hair started to break. It became so damaged that my hair strands were breaking in my hands from just a touch.
After a year of breaking, my once long hair now only reached my collar bone. It would be an understatement to say I was scared of becoming bald. Due to the fear of having no hair, I started researching into how I could bring my hair back to health. That was when I stumbled across a natural hair video on YouTube. It was exactly what I was searching for, a haircare video for my kind of hair. needless to say I became obsessed with YouTube.  
After watching video after video, learning tips and falling in love with curls
 I felt ready to take the step and eliminate chemicals and heat from my
 life. So one night in May 2012, all alone in my flat after accepting my 
hair was damaged  and beyond repair, I decided from now onwards I
 was  going to transition to become natural. It was a spare of the 
moment thought which became my reality. So much a reality it became a part of me I can never change.
If I'm honest I never thought I would continue the journey as long as I 
have done. My aim was to have healthy hair I didn't have a long term plan 
in mind. As I researched and gained knowledge about my curly mane I found myself even more determined this was a journey I couldn't quit. I started questioning myself and why I chose to NEVER be seen with my curly hair. Questions which I felt ashamed to answer even to myself. I couldn't bring myself to admit if given the choice I probably would have traded my hair for straight hair. It would save me so much time from straightening it. The sudden realisation of what I was thinking made me feel sad and guilty in fact a part of me feels embarrassed to share this experience. This was the moment I realised I didn't love a part of me, a part of me that not only could I never change but represented who I was. 
I decided to go natural to prove to myself  I DO love my curly crown and I was not ashamed to be seen rocking my kinks in all its glory.



There are some things in life that can never be changed and how my hair grew was one of them. I needed to accept it and start to embrace and love my curls because if I didn't who will?

Yes it was strange at first and there were times I wanted to give up and bring out the hair straightener, but then I reminded myself exactly why I was on this journey and I felt even more determined to continue.
My decision started of as a way to stop my hair breaking, I could never have imagined still being natural till this day. Looking back,  I'm so happy I made the decision to go natural as I don't plan to go back.

What made you go natural?

Love Zeze
