A Hair Story: From Relaxed to Natural

Root Awakening
A low-maintenance type of sister, Miriam Agwai has sported braids, relaxed her tresses, and ultimately got a root awakening when she decided to go chemical- and extensions-free. The New York film student enlisted the help of celebrity stylist Eugene Smith from the Ted Gibson Salon New York, who took her back to her natural locks. ESSENCE.com chronicles Agwai’s switch and explores how she maintains healthy hair.

PART 1: Please Google the following names (listed in no particular order of importance) for AWESOME blogs and sites that are invaluable to newly natural women and men: naturallycurlly, afrobella, newlynatural, maneandchic. curlynikki, motowngirl, nappturality, nappyme. For tutorials, go to youtube and look up the following video loggers aka vloggers: mahoganycurls and shidanatural. These two you tube ladies, among others, have a wealth of knowledge for newly naturals. Unlike the article above states, I have learned that conditioner - the proper kind that is, is your friend. Water is your BEST friend. Water mixed with glycerin is THE TRUTH (spritzed on your hair, lol..do not drink!).
