I was on Instagram going through my timeline the other day when I realized how many naturalistas I have met since joining in late 2013. It occurred to me that I haven’t really talked about the beginnings of my natural hair journey which is now going on eight years. I honestly can’t get over the fact that I have been natural since the spring of 2009. Prior to that, I had relaxed hair and didn’t even know there was such a thing as, “going natural.” So I thought that I would share a brief “natural history” with all of my new readers and followers.
