My Natural Hair Journey

I started my natural hair journey started way before in 2009 however in 2012 when my hair started falling out after I gave birth to our last born Sai. I couldn't understand the hair loss and one day I just decided to cut off all.my hair to kinda even it out.

I then went to a hairdresser to have it shaped and I have never looked back. I loved how my hair curled naturally and I began to embrace my new found natural hair.

Although I stopped straightening my hair I still did some heat styling here and there.but for the most part I just did the "wash and go". I used conditioner for my hair and nothing else.

So from 2012 - mid 2016 conditioner was my styling product. I didn't even know that Aunty Jackie's existed. A lady named Gillian Joy Titus introduced me to the Cape Town Naturally group and that same lady told me about Aunty Jackie's and since that time I have been exploring with product.

I have also since tried Curl Chemistry for my hair and my hair loves it. So I am using that and Aunty Jackie's .
Embracing my natural hair has really allowed me to love me as I am. And if I must really think about it, I have been.natural all my life. I don't use.make up ever, I only used it when I was in a modelling competition however I do not use it daily. I don't even do.lipstick.

I have always been a " take me as I am kind of girl"and that has never failed me. Embracing my hair has just been an added plus to.my natural.journey. Embracing myself has given me confidence and its also given me much  boldness. It takes courage to walk.around with BIG hair and owning it. Embracing my natural hair has allowed me to take better care of.myself and its also taught me the importance of nurturing.myself.

I am good at nurturing others and I often forget about myself and this happens quite often with females. However I have intentionally started to make time for myself, my hair and just generally my emotional state.
Trying new hair styles without blowing my hair has been quite an.adventure. I am loving every minute.

There are two characteristics that I love about myself and that is MY HAIR and MY SMILE
and that no one can take away.

What's the one or two things that you love about yourself?

My 2018 Lessons learned..

Tonight I have so much joy in my heart, as I reflect on this year. We have had so many setbacks yet God ordained our come back. We are on the verge of entering a new season and I am so expectant within my spirit. I cannot contain the excitement. This year has taught to love my family, my husband, my kids and my mother and not forgetting my Bestie Bianca. These were the ones who stood by me this year when I was down and out they picked up. My best friend has been a sister to me in word and deed God has strengthened our relationship so much. The ones whom I thought were my sisters they fell by the way side and made me wiser. Life showed me who will show up and support me. Through all of our setbacks and trials I have learned to trust in Jesus more and less on man. GOD HAS allowed me to accept the things I cannot change and accept people for who they are. GOD has taught me to forgive quickly and continue to pray for the ones who persecute me and cause me harm, God has taught ...

He works all things out...

And just like that my life has changed, from dreaming of becoming a Teacher and having my own class things changed just like that. I survived my first full week at school. Days of preparation and laying of foundation. As I sit and type these notes, my heart is so full. I am filled with immense gratitude to God for paving the way for me. I work with the most amazing colleagues who have the love of education rooted deep within them. The lesson I learned this week is that preparation is key, if I want my day to flow the next day, I need to prepare the day before so that I can get everything done. When one has had so many trials along the path of life it's hard to believe that relief is here and that it's just teething process we have to get through now. God does give you the desires of your heart when you trust Him to do so. When we submit our plans to Him, He works out a perfect plan  for us. He promises in His word that He will work all things out for our good (Romans...
