They make me happy AND self-conscious, honestly. But I need to get over that. So many people reach out and ask, “Is that your real hair?” I never know exactly how to respond (yes, it is my real hair, no not the real color). People seem amazed that it curls the way it does and that the color looks so natural to my skin.

All I have to say is that I really hated my hair until I got a fabulous haircut (worth the money a 100 times over). I always recommend finding a professional hair stylist who takes into account your natural hair type. It makes all the difference, no matter the cost.
