My Journey

21 comments

I started this blog, Natural Selection, in July of 2009 when I was in the nascent stages of going natural.  My writing is a way of sharing with you and the rest of the world my thoughts and unique experiences that I’m going through as I rediscover a part of myself that has been actively hidden for the past decade and a half.

it is a personal philosophy that curiosity could never kill, will certainly only make you stronger, and, at the very least, will inspire some good writing. the result: me, a quirky urban adventurer fueled by a lifelong love of learning and the desire to share it with the world.

by the way, my hair is named Lola.  if you’re wondering about why I’m always dropping that name.

read. enjoy. learn. comment.

thanks for visiting!

Welcome!

I’m soo glad I finally found your Blog. I just relocated to the Bay Area and need some guidance on the natural hair care salons (hint hint*). I moved from Atlanta, where natural hair care is on every corner! My aunt kept telling me about your blog she reads it religiously. Thanks for your dedication to hair care

Hi Naquanna,
Check out 3 sisters Beauty Supply in Plano (black-owned and operated) regarding natural hair meetups. They usually have an event at their shop every quarter. The owner’s name is Nikki
