Hi,
My name is Maxine Thompson & I am on my natural hair jouney like my sister Amen. I finally made a decision to go completely natural when I found myself becoming more & more frustrated with the same style everyday. I have texturized my hair in the past & was scared that I could never maintain my own hair in it's natural state. Boy, was I surprised!

A good friend of mine started wearing her hair natural & encouraged me to go on Youtube & research some videos that taught how to wear & maintain my natural hair. I was afraid at first because all I thought I could do was simple plats.

Well, I'm officially a fan of Toni Daley who is from Toronto & I dare to say that I am also keeping a video blog tracking my successes & failures in the world of "Nappiness" as my friend so passionately calls it. I"ve posted 1 video so far on O'Naturals Facebook page (see Maxine's Facebook post here) & would love to send you some footage in the near future.

I'm enjoying this journey so much & I am inspired by other women of colour who have joined the revolution of embracing our natural beauty; from the nap of our heads to the souls of our feet!

Love & Blessings & Happy Nappiness!

Maxine Thompson
