My Selfie Journey: Romance Cox

My hair is…natural.

I started my hair journey…On November 1, 2011. I began a journey that would forever change my outlook on beauty and its standards. I cut my relaxed, shoulder length hair into a small, curly afro.

My favorite hair products include…

  • 1. Honey Hair Chile Lush Custard
  • 2. Aunaturals LCO KIT
  • 3. AS I AM CO WASH
  • 4. Lottabody setting lotion, and many more.

The secret to having healthy hair is…to take the time to care and maintain your strands. It takes time to properly care for your hair. Maintaining natural hair isn’t always easy. I’ve experienced the highs of the perfect twist out or rod set, but I also know the lows of hair breakage, dryness, and all-around bad hair days.

My biggest hair challenge is…length. It can be very time consuming when styling but I wouldn’t change anything about it.

I love my hair because…it’s a huge part of me and my best accessory. I’ve learned to embrace my natural hair texture by being creative and versatile which allows me to show others that you can achieve any look while being natural.
