From root to end, our natural hair has a story. This anecdote includes protagonists (vitamins, moisture, care, and support) as long as antagonists (knots, break-off, and dryness). This story may include one or all three conflicts possible.
Woman vs. Nature
What is your hair trying to tell you? Are you working with the natural elements of your hair or against them? It is easy for us to get lost along the path to embracing our naturality. The kinks and unruliness may sometimes prove too big of a burden for alot of women.
Man vs. Man
Or in this case it may be woman vs. others. Here the individual fights against the popular conceptions and expectations within society. This fight may very well be with people extremely close to the individual, but also, with strangers.
Woman vs. Self
As the individual's image changes with natural hair, she may struggle with her identity/individuality. Who is this kinky/curly haired person you see when you look in the mirror?
