| The Natural Sophisticate 2016 |
It has been a while since The Natural Sophisticate has
blogged, but the wait is over! We have been on an extended hiatus due to so
many irons in the fire. You know how busy life can be, that we are sure of. At
any rate, we are BACK! We are back to continue to provide our take on natural
hair, beauty and lifestyle. Are you ready?
So back to the idea of the journey has been even more real
the second time around. This is my second
time navigating my way through the
trials, errors and triumphs of natural hair, and I must say that I have learned
even more about myself. Why is it my second time around? I encountered a bump
in the road called cancer and lost all of my beloved “Bernadette.” (I still
have her in a box…I know! I know!) It was truly a trying time, but grace kept
me! |

I mean, I knew how to care for that first wave of natural
hair like nobody’s business. I would style, restyle and just play with my
former hair, but I am not sure if you know that sometimes when the hair grows
back after chemotherapy, it may or may not be the same…it was NOT the same…LOL!
I went from curls that would finger coil to curls that laughed when I simply
tried it. I was a little discouraged and taken aback until I realized that hair
is hair, and the journey that I had been on was so much bigger. Because let’s
face it, sometimes we get caught up in the physical that we sometimes miss the
growing process. Not to say that I was not thankful of being healed of cancer,
but there was so much more to be thankful for.

I have learned that hair is just hair, which I had said time
and time again. However, I did not understand the concept until life happened.
I had to rethink how to keep and maintain my hair, which can be a challenge in
itself. So it was back to the drawing board on products that would really work
for my hair, and I am happy to say that Organically Yours products still worked,
but the amounts needed changed. For instance, with my “first” natural hair, I
did not have to moisturize as much so I used more Velvet (sealant) than
moisturizer; however, now my hair requires more Silk (moisturizer) than Velvet.
I also helped my hair out with a supplement called Hair, Skin and Nails by

Take the time to learn and grow spiritually, mentally and physically
during the times of change. You
may be surprised to see what you find out about
yourself. Heck, I found out what eyebrows and nose hairs were for….lol! |
