Nubian Kinks is 10 years in the making, ten years into the struggle for self appreciation. For me this is not a site based on just
hair or makeup, it?s about loving one self, and exploring other aspects to one?s physical form. I know many will

look at this site and think differently, but for me it?s beyond that. I?ve been doing hair out of my house since I was 16

and, I?ve watched so many styles come and go, but everything changed for me when I was working part-time for a

natural hairstylist. It didn?t seem to bother my boss that I had 22? of relaxed hair, but it bothered me. The longer I

worked there the more I desired to learn about this newfound texture that was so foreign to me. What intrigued me even

more was the versatility of this hair, that I was raised by society to disown. I prepared myself for my long emotional

and physical change I was ready to explore. I found myself worrying about what my family, friends and co-workers

would think, but the burning desire in me to break the curse that was passed down for so many generations. To hide

away my nappy, kinky, hard, coarse and super curly hair. Then on that day that changed my life I found myself looking

from the outside looking in. It was apparent of the mask I was wearing covering my true beauty. That?s when I turned

my back on my scalp burning and scar leaving relaxers. My ?Lord pleasedon?t let me burn my forehead and ear again

? curling irons. Not to mention my split?em up blow dryer. A stir of emotions filled me as I took the scissors and cut off

my long flowing relaxed hair, and replaced it with my nappy roots. It took sometime to understand and respect this old

acqaintance of mine . It was a struggle to learn how to comb, treat and style my hair, but as time went on I felt myself

changing mentally, emotionally and physically. I ate better eventually becoming a vegetarian . I stopped using chemically

filled products for my hair and body. I spend more time learning about myself in a spiritual sense. I pay more attention

on the finer things in life, the things we normally take for granted. Through prayer and meditation I found myself

allowing less and less situations from stressing me out. Maybe my holistic journey wasn?t all based on me deciding to

wear my hair in its natural form, but it sure did get me on the right path. Once I rid myself of the mask that society made

for me to wear. I found a new since of confidence in everything I do. This is just my testimony and we all know that

everyone?s testimony is different. Let me hear yours.
