Natural Lil' me!

While digging around my old old old pictures tonight, I came across two unique pictures.


6 year old after a Big Chop (BC)



I was very upset about getting my hair cut off because I looked like a boy.  Why was it cut off?  Well, from what I can recollect, I had put some sand in my hair while playing,









 This was the last time I was natural.

 I was about 13... love the 'fro which was created with tons of pins because I had too much hair. I get the same fullness and length after my transition.

  Razorempress , a content creator known for her natural hair journey, recently cut her long natural hair into a short pixie style. In her YouTube video titled “ Why I cut my Long Natural Hair.. ” , she explains her reasons for this significant change.

Perimenopause, the transitional phase leading up to menopause, can significantly affect your hair due to hormonal fluctuations. Here are the key ways it can impact your hair: 1. Hair Thinning and Hair Loss  • Estrogen Decline: Estrogen helps maintain hair growth and health.
