Monica’s Journey

My name is Monica G. from Cleveland, Ohio. My hair journey from relaxed to natural started 14 years ago. It was an easy transition because I wore braids for a while until the relaxer was almost grown out of my hair, but I thought being “natural” meant that putting heat from blow drying and using flat irons was okay until I had major breakage! It was so bad at one point that I wore weaves to cover the fist size bald spot in the back of my head until it grew back. The embarrassment and that weird feeling that my hair had broken off so badly from flat irons and the wrong hair product was awful!
Now I’m extra careful and do my best to care for my hair with weekly deep conditioning and by using oils, moisturizers, and hair vitamins to strengthen my hair.
