Mine is 16yrs and that too I had to go natural for a long time but honestly it wasn't easy at all that I had to apply relaxer only to find my hair breaking like no mans business. I had to stop relaxing for about a year plus then after that period I just blow dry and am cool.
Glad you also found the right treatment that works best for your hair.
I know going natural is not easy, that's why I'm just respecting myself sticking to what I have now. I'm also glad you were able to tackle your hair challenges. Congratulations on that ❤️🌹
