🌞💋The Sun Locks Series focuses on natural hair care featuring the trials and tribulations faced during this journey🌞💋

Born in the 90's and coming up, natural hair was not the trend for most young girls then. Relaxers, like the notorious Just For Me children's relaxers were a thing (still is). They would advertise to young girls and their parents that straight locks were the awarded locks. Just For me even had its own catchy jingle (like anything else in the 90's and before) with young girls singing and appealing to other girls that age. Like many young girls, including myself, hair was chemically processed straight to fit in. At this point, straight hair was a norm and possessing the kinky locks was like taboo in some households. Straight hair was such the norm, it has even been mandated to have in various professional settings. Growing up I wasn't fortunate to rock the natural locks and experience some of the black girl magic. The natural hair trend took off and now the kinky look is taking over. The versatility of having naturally curly and straight hair whenever I felt like it, I realized that I was blessed with one of a kind hair. Fast forward to now, I've finally jumped on board with the natural hair trend. Follow my experience on this journey by my hair care series: The Sun Locks 🌞💋🌞💋🌞💋
