We find joy in asking you all what your stories are and getting them out there for other naturalistas to read and enjoy as well! We know that finding others in the natural hair community you can relate to helps make the journey more rewarding. I guess what we&#8217;re trying to say is&#8230; You&#8217;re not alone! <\/span>Starting your natural hair journey isn&#8217;t always easy, but after the initial shock (if you even have that!) it all feels refreshing and worthwhile! Jhoanny started her journey in an unorthodox way&#8230; While on vacay! Imagine that!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I went natural when I went on vacation to my hometown,\u00a0the Dominican Republic (ironic right?) in 2014,&#8221; she said. &#8220;It was too hot over there and didn\u2019t want to keep getting wash and sets just to sweat it out, so I went on YouTube, found @sunkissedalba and decided I wanted to let my curls flourish.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jhoanny found her favorite vlogger and rolled with that! She actually found out about UFD through one of her favorite influencers: @le_frosie! Three years into her journey, she was a part of our Craft Your Curls holiday campaign, and continues to inspire curly girls everywhere with her gorgeous mane! Growing her curls from there has its challenges but she has found processes and products that work for her, including protective styles!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3075\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3075\" style=\"width: 270px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3075\" src=\"http:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Jhoanny1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"270\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/chatbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Jhoanny1.png 951w, https:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/chatbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Jhoanny1-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/chatbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Jhoanny1-50x50.png 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 270px) 100vw, 270px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3075\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jhoanny and her hair LOVE our <a href=\"http:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/good-hair.html\">Good Hair Conditioning Styling Cr\u00e8me<\/a>.
