I’ve been natural since 1994 and have gone through different stages of styles. I’ve had everything from a barbershop cut, to a super huge wash and go but I never shied away from wearing a weave as a protective styling choice. When I did choose to wear a weave, back then, the textures were limited…
I am so focused on putting my best ‘fro forward that I have missed out on happy hours and dinners because my twists have not dried in time.
