Ladies of Natural Essences

Hello everyone... I am in a hard transitioning period..SMH.. I have been the type of woman to get perms all the time and get my hair done.. That was until I moved up here to Athens, GA and realized there wasn't a lot of stylist that can maintain my hair that I was used to in Montgomery.  So when my roommate was noticing my hair was changing she suggested I try not to perm it.. well that was 8 months ago!  I am now just looking for some other ways to maintain a "professional military" apperance.  And while on my search I found this website!
