Hi! My name is Abigail. I am a follower of Christ, a sporadic natural hair and lifestyle blogger, and a Toronto native currently residing in Edmonton, Alberta.
If you are anything like me and have a passion for achieving healthy natural hair through trial and error, welcome! The intent of my blog is to share my personal hair journey experience—the good, the bad, and the ugly—with others, while encouraging and inspiring you along your own path.
My Hair Journey & Realities
I’ve been natural for over nine years, but it was in October 2016 that I decided to start taking the health of my hair seriously. Learning how to properly maintain my hair hasn’t been a walk in the park, but that hasn’t stopped me from finding alternative ways to address the various issues that I have faced over the years.
I am still battling with hair thinning and hair loss from traction alopecia, along with breakage and dull, dry, brittle strands— the things of nightmares! I frequently resorted to weaves and braids as protective hairstyles to promote growth and length retention. Unfortunately, due to my own ignorance and negligence at the time, I severely damaged my hair underneath those protective methods. As the saying goes: “You live and you learn.”
The Mission Behind the Blog
I am now channeling my experiences into the form of blogging. I want to use this platform as a means for us to collectively come together as a community and have discussion, share information (including step-by-step tutorials, tips, and advice gathered through extensive research), and share our personal experiences that can help us attain thriving, healthy natural hair.
Although 4c Nappy Hair is primarily a natural hair space, I will also be incorporating a flare of lifestyle content. I will be revealing things pertaining to my life so you can get a window of who I am outside of hair care. I firmly believe that transformed minds and changed lives happen best within the context of authentic relationships.
My hope is that you take away something from my blog that can be useful for your hair journey—or just for your walk through life in general.
“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that very well.” —Psalms 139:14 (NIV)
