I recall when my friend, who was natural at the time, shared with me that her co-worker wanted to return to her natural roots. The young lady had already started growing her relaxer out. After my friend felt her new growth, she informed her that she would need a texturizer because her hair was entirely too rough to simply be natural.

My cousin has been blessed with four beautiful daughters.  Over the years they've grown into some of the most intelligent and fiesty young ladies I've had the pleasure of knowing.  The oldest being 13, the youngest only 7, each child now has relaxed hair.
