When returning I probably knew a handful of natural haired people. Even the African American dudes were getting into the perms and relaxer; I find that straight crazy. Nevertheless I took the step and chopped all my relaxed ends off. I believe seeing the versatility in natural hair made me return.

Products were the hardest to find since there wasn't a lot out there at the time. Natural shea butter & I rocked it out for a while. Shea was the only thing that understood my hair.
