I LUV MY NATURAL HAIR!!! Looking for styling tips, and recipes. I've been natural for 6 months. I braided my hair as a protective style for almost 10 months, along w/ gradually cutting off the wretched relaxer! I finally became 100% natural on may 16th:(final CUT). Although still newly natural, i'm making a concious effort to RETAIN LENGHT, and Health. SO far, so good.
