About Me

Welcome to Natural Hair 101!











I'm Courtney and I've been natural for the past 6 years.  The journey started for me in May 2005 after a day of removing track glue and weave from my hair.  Initially, I felt that I needed to give my hair a break and couldn't stand the idea of getting another relaxer after what I put my scalp through to get the weave out.  I also felt that I could use a break from trying to style my hair since I would be starting college in the fall.  So, I decided to get braids.  After my first semester in college, I took out my braids and decided to cut off all of my relaxed hair.  My hair had grown so much in such a short period of time, that I fell in love with the idea of letting my natural hair grow out.  After the first year of wearing braids, I decided to get my hair pressed and curled and tried to maintain my hair in straight styles by applying heat to it everyday.  By Spring of 2007, I had experienced extreme breakage from applying so much heat to my hair, and decided to cut my hair again.  So, the hair that I'm rocking now is about four years old.

By creating this blog, I hope to share my natural hair journey and help others, as others have helped me.
