I definitely think these things should be celebrated! I am so happy I came upon this site. It has such useful information for natural hair care and I look forward to learning more about my natural hair. I am going on 2 1/2 years natural (my second time around) and this time I intend to STAY natural. Being natural is so exhilarating and frustrating all at the same time (but so is being relaxed) and I can honestly say I’ve learned so much just by reading the info on your site today. I have saved your site as a favorite and will frequent often and will definitely support your black owned business. Here’s to all the natural sistas! Congrats on your natural hair anniversary.

I am sorry that you had to celebrate such a milestone alone. It is quite a bold move. I have been chemical free for so long that I do not recall the date. The last time I put chemicals in my hair was in the early 90s. For me, the transition was easy because chemicals is unnatural and i decided that I only wanted to come from a place that was natural and pure. I wore braids for awhile then went natural. I was wearing a fro before it actually got popular. I called it my geometric fro because i used to style it to geometric shapes and curves. But I was in San Diego and working in education so the professional reprecussions had not effect. I now sport 9 in locks for the 2nd time around. Now I would not trade my hair or my naturalness for anything in the world. I believe we as African-american women need to make a stand and go back to the basics. Get rid of the fake nails, hair and attitudes that are a product of our society. Peace and LOVE to your milestone!!!! Aqueelah Congratulations !!!!!! on your one year anniversity.

I have been natural for 4 years and I never looked back. I never liked perms and I did not like the upkeep, so I fully understand how you are feeling. The reality of it is we are a proud, beautiful, natural people. Congrats are you hair-aversary. I have been natural for 4 years and I never looked back.

Being a female as you get older chemical cause the hair to thin and break. I went from chemical to dreads. I cut my dreads a week before Christmas last year. My hair was cut off to a 1/2 in. Thanks to the products I have been ordering, my hair has grown almost to my shoulders. I tried to tell women with thinning hair to try your products, it didn't work. I have a sister who had aneurysm in 1985. She had a bald spot in the top of her head from surgery. After a few washes with your shampoo her hair begin to grow. Hopefully others will see this information I shared with you. Hello Tywana, I have been chemical free for 8 years. Being a female as you get older chemical cause the hair to thin and break.

I've just went about two weeks ago and got the back and sides of my hair cut very short, because I had over permed my hair, which was causing my hair to break. I tried the braids and the weave but I was not able to wear the braids or the weave in my hair more that a week. Tywana do you have any tips on how to take care of fine limp hair?, because my hair will not hold curls very long even if I put spritz on it. Hi Tywana,

I just recently went to the barba shop and got the sides and back of my hair cut, because I had over permed my hair, it was breaking, and when I tried to wear the braids or the weave, I could only leave it my hair for no more than 4 days or a weekk. Since I'm not perming my hair anymore what do I need to do to keep the sides and back of my hair straight, as well as; stop the itching? Congradulations on going back to a natural hair style.

Congrats to you! As women with highly textured hair, we seem to be programmed from an early age to either hot press, chem or attached some body's elses hair to our heads. It's so liberating to be chem-free, unattached (woven, clipped or glued) and have no hang ups about not making pressing a "must do" part of my hair routine. I'm continually exploring the styling options to my naptural hair and liking it. Best of luck to you! CJ Hello Tywanna,
