“I would rather be real than perfect!”

“I was one of those girls who damaged their hair in every possible way! I did keratin to my hair until it started to fall hard and became much weakened! I did all of this just because I was pressured by my family to look a certain way, which was very far away from being natural! Besides being bullied about my hair and spending years getting negative comments like “who would accept you this way!” all of this unfortunately affected my psychology. However, from the bright side, it pushed me to rise after the fall and made me eventually stop heat! What further motivated me was seeing other beauties feeling confident in their natural ground. I am no longer who I was, because I am much stronger, more confident and I don’t care about what people say about me! “I would rather be real than perfect!”
This is the phrase that echoed in my ears through my natural journey.”
