Embracing My Natural Hair

If you would have said to me 4 years ago that I would happily walk around in public with my hair down - not just down but completely natural with out any curling ,straightening or clips then I would have probably laughed at you and told you there was no way that would ever happen. Yet here I am today writing a post about wearing my hair down naturally. As you can probably guess I never used to like my natural hair : I thought it was too thick, too bushy, too frizzy, to big, too long, too short, too 'everything'. 

When I was in primary school I wore my hair in a pony tail ,every single solitary day; it became like a religion. Then when I went to high school I discovered buns and soon after the bun became the new 'ponytail'. I tried every style of bun: high bun, ballerina bun, do-nought bun and of course the messy bun. When I was younger I lacked a lot of confidence when it came to my hair, I was never happy with how it looked and part of it was I worried too much about what other people thought of my hair - looking back I bet nobody was even paying attention to my hair anyway! In year 8 I used a lot more heat on my hair. I got sucked into the straight hair phase that made my hair very dry and straight hair just doesn't suit me to be honest. Then towards the end of 2013 I learnt how to properly use my curling iron and fell in love with my hair looking perfectly curled. Obviously I couldn't curl my hair everyday as it would completely ruin it but I reckon I curled my hair about once or twice a week. 

Recently I have been loving just leaving my hair down naturally. It looks best when wash my hair, towel dry it, blast the hair dryer through it for about a minuet and then just leave it to dry by its self. As it is drying I will run my hands through it and scrunch it up a bit so it dries curlier. I love the way my hair dries and especially since being on holiday I have worn my hair like this a lot and I just feel so confident and happy with it like this. The only trouble is that my hair does take a while to dry so I can't see myself doing this hair style for school other wise I will have to wake up a 5:30. But for the weekends and when I am off school I will enjoy wearing my hair like this and just embracing the natural, messy curls that is my hair.

What do you think of your natural hair? Do you style your hair completely differently or do you embrace your natural locks?
