In my opinion, hair extensions that match your natural texture are the best because you don’t have to manipulate your hair to match a different texture, it looks realistic, and it’s a great way to see what certain styles might look like on your hair without ever having to touch your actual hair. Kinky curly […]
At the beginning of my natural hair journey, I was completely confused by all of these women describing their hair textures and curl patterns with letters and numbers.

Generally, natural hair products are geared towards women. A lot of them have sweet and fruity scents, bright labels, and all types of pretty ladies dawning kinks and curls in their advertisements.
