Hello all, from Dig (Alicia8406)!

I initially started this portfolio to track my experiences after going natural. For a little background, I got my first relaxer around age 13 because I felt that my natural hair was unruly and very hard to style. The relaxer in and of itself was not that damaging to my hair because I only did them 3-4 times a year, and always maintained a healthy length. It was not until college that I discovered the hair dye + the blow dryer + the curling iron +the relaxer. Because of all the damage I caused during those four years, I was left with very dry, brittle, lifeless hair, and confusion as what to do with it. At this point Google led me to a very informative black hair community that jump-started my journey to healthy hair and eventually led me on the journey to becoming natural. I went through a lengthy transition of about 20 months and finally became natural again. Come and join me on my journey!

Additionally, for the past 2 years, I have become engulfed in the world of makeup. I have accumulated a pretty hefty collection that is growing everyday because of my slight obsession. The funny thing is that I hardly ever wear makeup; the two main reasons that I have for purchasing makeup are for the sake of admiring the beautiful colors and options, as well as for the thrill of chasing a bargain! The latter of my two reasons is what truly drives me because it so so exciting to know that you CAN get quality products without spending an arm and a leg! And with my great products, I frequently create "faces" on the weekend and constantly try to perfect my craft. I am by all means a novice, but would love to one day do a little makeup artistry on the side.

Thanks for stopping by! :)
