I had to learn how to care for my curls due to having a relaxer most of my life.
I was determined to master natural hair.

I decided to document the process for myself and possibly others in case they felt like watching.
From there, my channel began to grow,” she says.
“I feel great about it,” Lewis laments.
“I remember how hard it was to find product 10 years ago.
Finding a new natural hair care product was like finding a unicorn.
I would also suggest they follow people on social media that have a texture similar to theirs.
This will give them realistic expectations for their hair.
They can get style ideas and inspiration that will help them in their journey.

Ask questions and do your research.
This is their crown, and they should wear it with pride.”
“I also love Eco Style Gel and Briogeo products this summer.”
