Naturalista.... Naw not me

I have always been conflicted when people ask about my hair or ask advise on hair. I don't deem myself to be #teamnatural.

Let me give you some background, my mom can't do hair; four French braids is her max! With that being said everything I learned about hair was by research, my big cousin, an my wonderful beautician, Teresa. I have always had a lot a hair and I was taught that I didn't need a perm to achieve healthy hair, so I only got one for Easter and my birthday starting in 7th grade. Then as of Senior I stopped completely.

My choice was not made based off a trend or a statement, but mainly just for healthy hair that I can maintain.

I said all that to say; I don't agree with team natural. All natural hair isn't healthy hair, so that's the team I'm rocking with! If ur hair is relaxed, natural, weaved up, or wigged out and it's healthy, then I'm on ur team.

The problem I have with being a naturalista or team natural is the segregation. And on top of that some naturals don't even have healthy hair.

I just do what I want when I want and how I want with my hair and that is what I want to be known as.
