Introduction

Hello World,
My name is Mercedes Jones and this is officially my first blog. When I was a junior in high school back in 2012, I underwent the dreaded "Big Chop" but I actually loved it. I wore a short Afro for a while and when I was a senior, I decided to dye the ends of my hair myself. I loved the freedom of being able to wake up, roll out of bed, and get my day started without having to stress about my hair. Those were the good days. After I graduated in 2013 and went off to college, I started to have problems again. My hair was getting longer and the dyes that I was subjecting my ends to were actually causing my hair to become drier and drier. I then began my journey of trying to find the best hair care products out there that would rectify my situation and surprisingly I came across some fabulous products. I went through a lot of bad ones first before I discovered my holy grail but it was a leaning experience. After wearing my Afro for a year, I decided to loc up my hair. It was a very long process. I cried many nights and laughed many days but through it all, I accepted my hair for what it was and I embraced my natural. I have had locs now for two and a half years and they are growing like weeds. I maintain them myself and I am constantly on the look out for the best new wonder products on the market. My wish for all you viewers is that you will be able to browse my blog, pick up new and interesting tips on natural hair care products, and become natural hair and loc savvy also. I have a feeling that this will be the start of one heck of an adventure. Thank you all for giving me a chance and hopefully I can help turn our natural hair woes into natural hair miracles.
