Going
natural at any age
 |
| Hope I Look this Good at 70! |
Almost 3
Years ago, Jen went natural, and it wasn’t
intentional. For years, Jen would sit at the edge of her bed, with grease, a
wide tooth comb, magnetic rollers, and rolled her relaxed, ginger colored hair
in perfectly uniform sections, and place a silk scarf over her head. In the morning, she would unroll her hair, and
shape her cropped cut. This nightly ritual, and her short crop
was her staple style as she conquered the Real-estate industry.
Today
Jen is retired, and lives a holistic life, using herbal remedies, and a exercise
regimen to stay fit, vibrant, and
active. Her days are now spent doing community service, and thrifting, so Jen had
little time to deal with the rigors of at home hair care. Jen began getting protective styles, a series
of braided and weaved styles. She stopped getting relaxers, and started taking
multi-vitamins for hair and nails.
At 67 she began transitioning, trimming off
a little bit of relaxed hair each time she changed protective styles. She was
skeptical about how natural hair would look on her. But today she is 100% sold!
Jen says, “Making a few changes to your lifestyle can make a big difference”. After
spending nearly 3 years in protective styles, and treating her hair in-between
each style, Jen was finally able to take a good look at her hair for the first
time last week!
Jen only Co washes, and uses aloe juice to moisturize her hair underneath her protective styles. She uses protien based deep conditioners in between styles. Jen avoids heat, and drinks a lot of water daily.
Jen’s First Twistout!!!
As
Jen's, 70th Birthday approaches,
she cant believe how long, thick and healthy her hair is!
“I am excited about
this journey I stumbled upon, and I look forward to whatever it brings”.
