I @marajah is a lover of nature leading me into appreciating natural things. To me, natural is the best. At times, I do add extension to my hair too. But, inside me, I prefer my natural hair look to extension.

But the truth remains that one man's food maybe poison to another and same time laxative to another. To prove what am saying, carefully read through this post to catch up.
There is this lady that came to our office to braid her hair. To me, I wanted to veil for another person to braid the hair believing that am tired. Wow, surprisingly, a glimpse changed my mood and motive! I stood on my feet and was at lost with my mouth wide open. I know you may be wondering at this point what it is that caught my fancy. Ohhh, what a blessing from God!!!!
Do you know that God endowed this lady with full long natural hair? Her hair attracted me. But, honestly, I asked her why she want to hide her natural hair with attachments? Her response surprised me. She said, I don't like carrying natural hair around. Meanwhile, the way people sees and value it is unlike the way I sees it.
Nevertheless, as a lover of naturals, I love admiring and touching good things. Therefore, I took it as a responsibility to braid and pamper the hair.
The style she chose is known as knotless braid with curls. As a stylist, I did the work and the lady was extremely happy at the end.
Final touching
Before she left, I told her that once my hair is up to that length, I can't bother myself again thinking of what to put on my hair. I will just be packing it different different styles. In response, she said that she doesn't know how to pack her natural hair and moreover, she doesn't value it the way others do/view it. That's why she do braid the hair.

But you my article reader, what's your opinion? As a lady, if you have such a beautiful long full hair, will you also add extension to it? Joyfully, am anticipating your opinions. Byeeee.
I love natural hair too. You know in life is all about choice and individual decision. Her hair is so beautiful and long. You know to maintain natural hair is not moi moi, maybe she find it difficult to do or may not really have the chance daily to maintain it. All the same I thank God the giver of all good things.
Truly, you got the point. As for maintenance, base on interview, she maintains the hair even more than her skin. But base on my recent research, I found out that sunlight causes hair damage. So, inview of that, extension is required.
You see, o have learned something new today. If not that am in hive and i read your post, i would have missed this important information. See me that love hair like eating.
Extensions helped me a lot to grow my natural hair of 2 years and you won't believe (not forgetting the genes)
For me I'll go with extensions
My Afro is really exhausting to comb and style everyday. It takes so much time getting ready when I take my braids out
But protective styles have been a great help.
You know you're amazing right?
Just take a look at the knotless braid....just so perfect
I love natural hair but combing it na survival of the fittest ooo, I rather use extension and carry it like that for a month 🤞
