In the past week, I’ve had three different people ask me why I haven’t gone natural. Since I have a hair care business, I am open to answering any questions about my hair. But I do have two distinct and varying feelings about being asked.
On one hand, I understand the reason for the question. Natural hair is very popular and I am currently among the few hair gurus with relaxed hair. As a hair expert and who wrote a book on hair care, I’ve opened myself up to questions about my hair choices, regimen, etc. Some women ask my hair status because they want to find someone with a similar texture/curl pattern to get style and product tips. (Keep in mind that even if you found your hair twin there’s no guarantee that your hair would respond well to the same products).
