Thank you @brazilianstylist for being not just a stylist, but an educator when it came to my hair and its needs. I’m still in shock that this is MY natural hair — dry instead of wet/damp for once, with no irons or curlers used at all. I’m also glad I still got to keep my hair on the longer side while starting this process of reviving my hair, and I appreciated how I could relate to the passion —in a sense where everyone really is different and you can’t just give everyone the same regimen since it doesn’t always work for/benefit them
