It only took me a little over 2 years to finally find enough "courage" to grab the scissors.   I had inspiration boards, screenshots of cuts that I liked, and didn't realize until last December that "Wait I've been saying that for 2 years..."⁠ ⁠ & honestly, I don't regret it. Sometimes it takes 2 years. And that's okay!! The most important thing is that you embrace who you are and feel comfortable with yourself. In today's podcast, I'm updating my natural hair journey and also shared new products that I'm loving at the moment!   // PRODUCTS MENTIONED: Carol's Daughters Almond Milk (Sulfate-Free Shampoo) Carol's Daughters Almond Milk (Restoring Conditioner) Every Strand Shea & Coconut Oil - Deep Moisture Hair Masque Shea Moisture - Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen and Restore Treatment Masque Originals by Africas Best - Hair Mayonaise Taliah Waajid - Green Apple & Aloe with Coconut: Nutrition Curl Definer (They also have a Curl Elix
