Greetings! I have been “Natch” (lol) for 11 months now…. I’ve wanted to go natural for the past 5 years but I was too afraid of my natural state (WHIMP, LOL!).

I don’t know what Roxie (my hair’s name) would look like if it wasn’t for your blog and the forum. I wanted to share my natural hair journey in hopes of inspiring others. Thank you again…
