I like keeping my hair in big flat twists from time to time because it’s easier to manage, but there is nothing like leaving my hair out and letting it breathe in a kinky afro. I feel like it gives me more personality and I like playing with my curls. I did the big chop in 2010 and started letting my hair grow out in 2013. Since the big chop, I’ve started to feel more confident and more connected with myself.
