When my daughter turned 2 I spent a lot of time looking for products to use on her hair and ways to do her hair naturally. When she turned 3 I considered blow drying it to make it easier to manage, but decided against it and twisted it instead. The more I did her hair, the more I considered doing mine. I considered she might look at my hair and want her's like mine. I looked at my mother when I was little and wanted to wear a wig so I wouldn't have to get my hair combed.

The last time I had my hair pressed was June 2009. I stopped getting a relaxed 13 years ago. I had my hair pressed every other week, then once a month. Between the pressing comb, curling irons, and blow dryers, when I decided to go fully natural last year, my 12"+ hair was heat damaged. I have been growing it out and have grown impatient. I've had two small chop sessions and it's getting better. Now when my daughter looks at my hair and says she wants hers like mine, she wants braids or twists. It feels good to be natural.

Look at this site, it says it all: http://ilovemyhair.com/
