My Selfie Journey: D'Arcy

Although D'Arcy never liked her hair straight, she always relaxed it. Four years ago she stopped straightening it, began watching YouTube videos and cut a few inches off every month. It is, by far, her best decision ever.

D’Arcy’s Journey

My hair is…natural.

I started my hair journey…In July 2010 I stopped relaxing my hair and transitioned due to breakage. Of course there were days when I wanted to get a relaxer and forget about it but I managed to make it through a year. I started cutting a few inches every month and doing braid outs.
