Well I have been a naturalista before going natural was cool. But I shouldn't take a lot of credit because it was not necessarily by choice. It was all because my skin was sensitive to relaxers. Having relaxer in my head for 4-5 minutes would mean that my skull will burn and then I get these huge sores where the skin burned through my skin. Because of that I stayed natural, and because my hair is so long and thick, I kept getting braids or conrows to allow maintainance. But now I am happy that I stayed natural because my hair is healthy and long. It's usually an eye turner in black people and I have had many people ask me if I have a weave. So more power to the naturalistas. And no, that's not me in the picture ;)
