I was blessed to spend time with my brother and family in Arizona. The dessert’s beautiful tones were breathtaking. I had the opportunity to jot notes during a heart-to-heart discussion with my sister-in-law about her 20-year natural hair voyage. I am inspired that Denise is not only in love with her natural hair, but proud to rock her beautiful graying hair. Who says graying hair is taboo?

I have had relaxers, Jheri curl (Michael Jackson look), and hair extensions. I actually wore extensions for three years at one point. I would take them out and put them right back in. No matter what style I tried, I always came back to natural. Natural is easy, and it pleased my husband. Being natural is convenient.

Back in the day, If you had short hair in Trinidad, they would call you all types of names. When I was nine or ten, I would wear my afro puffs. I was Ruff –n –tuff with my afro puffs. When I first had my full afro, it was back in the 70s. At first, everyone wanted to press their hair. I was too young; my grandmother would not allow me to. Then the black power movement came, and I was finally in style with my ‘fro.
