Moment of Transparency One of the main things that people think about my hair is that is easy to manage. Natural hair is only easy once you’ve learned it and it’s become a routine and you’re doing the same things over and over to keep it healthy and growing. But one thing you don’t know is that, it has a mind of its own and each stage of growth or health, it changes. Kind of like a growing little person. ⠀ I have been on my health hair growth “journey” for almost 11 years now and I’ve cut it, dyed it, straightened it, and damaged it tooooo many times to name. And most of the time, I’ll start over and cut it. ⠀ This time, I’ve let it do it’s thing for about 2 almost 3 years now, with a trim here and there. So don’t think I haven’t been through the struggle with my hair. I’m just like everyone else, I just started documenting my journey on YouTube and continue to learn more every day. You have to educate yourself on YOUR hair. ⠀ Our natural hair is a snowflake. It can have 5 different textures, or be low porosity one minute and normal the next. Don’t compare your level one to another’s level 20. You (and your hair) grows at its own pace. And the funny thing about natural hair, you really don’t notice your growth all the time because... SHRINKAGE. So accept your natural hair for what it is and stop trying to be someone else because your hair is YOURS and yours only. ⠀ Now enjoy this video of my fro and all its gloriousness 😂🤷🏽‍♀️ ⠀ #ZiaAlexis #NaturalHairFro #FroPower (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwcwEiWnUqd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11b98n38y4kt2
