As a proud woman of colour, I loved wearing my natural afro out with the accentuated curls and volume.
I had spent the best part of my twenties trying every hair style I could from braids, dreadlocks, twists, straight hair, and even bleach blonde curls.
My hair regime was expensive, and the upkeep was high maintenance.
