Can anyone give me some encouragement to stop relaxing my hair?

I absolutely love black women with natural hair. I think it's so much more attractive and beautiful. My daughter is mixed and had very unique hair, to say the least. I don't perm or relax it. I make sure her scalp is moisterized and comb her hair with a wide tooth comb and let it go. I think it looks awesome and kept, but still age appropriate. I would suggest a regular trim, every 3 to 6 weeks and your hair should grow quickly and evenly in the style you want. Good luck!
