Mary's Hair Journey

While growing up, the flat iron i.e. pressing comb along with good old “Blue Magic” was our way of caring and preparing our hair for the daily routine of life. However, as I moved to Texas from California, I began to experience a massive amount of broken 1-2 inch pieces of hair in my sink. Yes, I had been box coloring my hair since I was about age 29 to cover my grey hair. So, with the flat iron, no water, hard Texas water, petroleum products and hair color……I was on a hard crash coarse to loosing hair and many many tears. Something had to be done……My question was “Lord, help me with my hair!!” As a African American , we all know that our hair is a TOP priority in our community. As I prayed daily, watching my hair go down the sink, I continued to use the same techniques on my two daughters hair then 7 and 3 years old. What was I to do, I never had any understanding about hair care other than wash and press? I had never heard of a “hair product”, which is simply crazy to me now! The big moment came when I attended my family reunion in 2011 and my cousin gave a class on caring for “Black Hair”. She introduced the concept that our hair needs …….WATER….a totally foreign concept when you’ve spent your entire life running from rain, humidity, and any other weather promoted water sources. So, I came home with a new determination that I was going to learn. I went to a natural hair stylist that recommended for me to twist my hair with a popular styling pudding…..smile…..however, I really couldn’t afford a product like that on a long term. At the same time my girls suffered from severe eczema. This began my online journey through Youtube to learn how to create a lotion for their skin. This is truly when Naturalsis72 was born.
