Who We Are?

My name is Stella and I’m a Natural Hair Enthusiast…this blog is to help women on their journey to grow and retain healthy natural hair. 2012/2013 was the year I began transitioning but in all honesty I didn’t really know what I was doing. I eventually got fed up of trying to blend my new growth and big chop’d.

I was super uncomfortable with the length of my hair so left the front a bit longer and hid beneath weaves and u-part wigs. Keeping my hair in protective styles was my no 1 goal. But I was following every hair trend under the sun. I’m sure the greenhouse method, dousing your hair in JBCO & black tea rinses all ring a bell! My fellow naturalists were showing off their long luscious locks but here I was with a couple of inches to show year on year. All because I was lacking education and following what everyone else was doing. I’m not gonna lie, I did add to the lack of progress by constantly tying to blend my leave out. I had no business trying to rock silky hair extensions when it didn’t match my type 4 hair.

In 2020, I came to the realisation I need to understand my natural hair and not constantly compare myself to other women. Don’t get me wrong, they had great tips! But their methods weren’t working for me. Things like differences in hair types, textures, porosity and genetics all have a part to play in your hair journey.

I’m now sharing my knowledge, embracing my progress and inspiring Naturalista’s along the way. I’ll be sharing hints, tips and information that will hopefully help you. The goal is to LOVE every stage of your Natural Hair Journey.
