    I found this site in 2006 and went natural then. I remember when this was pretty much the only web source for natural hair and we used to share our photos on a different site similar to photobucket. Over time You-Tube videos grew in popularity and now all the folks who've gone natural in the last 3-4 years only know "You-Tube" naturals. Now there's instagram, groups like NHD and NHDC, natural hair event "affairs", live discussion panels, texture wars etc. Now natural hair is more common as opposed to just a few years ago when natural hair was few and far in between.

    The more comfortable I am with my hair, the less I care about it. I remember when I would never leave the house unless my natural hair was "presentable". I went to the grocery store with my bantu knots in (before I only used them for bantu knot-outs), and this morning I went to get coffee with a scarf wrapped around my nighttime plaits.

    Also, I took out a weave I've been wearing for a protective style a few days ago. I've been wearing weaves in for most of the past year or so, and I gained some length. Usually I end up buying a bunch of crap when I'm preparing to wear my loose natural hair. Not this time- I'm not interested in chasing holy grail products anymore. It's expensive and mentally exhausting. There's so many more important goals I'm pursuing in my life right now.

    And then I also noticed that I don't feel pressured to wear my hair out to prove to others how long it is. . .I'm pretty content to wear tuck and roll protective styles for most of the week.
    Thanks nappy friend for giving me a PANKing!

    Earthen~Blossom- I feel ya! I have long since given up on holy grails and "special" regimens. My hair is what it is and my goal is to keep it clean and presentable by MY standards. It's naturally healthy when I keep my routine basic, so I don't have to work at that.
