    Greetings,
    I just want to wish everyone a Happy New Year! I was so pleased with this website. It is collective with a wealth of information on the care of natural. I have been going natural for about twelve years now. I felt free and wonderful but my husband did not like it. I did not give up because I really felt good about it. Well I started getting books with different styles(being a Muslim, I tied my hair with scarves in creative ways.) that match my attire and he grew to love it. My hair grew better and thickened up again. The perms made my hair become long but thin. Now that this website is here, I am really learning alot about how to manage and style my hair in even more creative and beautiful ways. Thank you so much for reading this. I will never perm again. I LOVE my hair.
    Sincerely.
    Laura
