IMG_2103_2

Tell me a little about yourself and your hair journey. (Name, where you’re from, etc):

My name is Tamika Lee and I’ve been natural for 9 years. I am a Delaware native by way of military. I went natural on accident while attending college. When my close friend told me I couldn’t wear a weave or braids in her wedding, I was devastated. Braids were easy to manage and were my go to style for the past year. I opted to straighten my healthy hair for the big event and the end result was all the proof I needed to remain chemical free. It was the shiniest and healthiest I had ever seen it. Being natural allows me to be my BOLD beautiful self.

How would you describe your hair?

I would describe my hair as B.O.L.D. (Beautiful, Outstanding, Lavish and Determined) my hair has a personality of its own. I mean seriously some days she has a complete attitude and no style will work. But other days she is flawless and my pattern embraces its curls, kinks. Either way I LOVE my hair.
