There were many MANY naturals that have and continue to inspire me everyday, but I can remember one curly who was always encouraging and also gave me hope of having long hair. Especially after her telling me that my hair at a shorter length resembled hers. That was probably because I was coloring my hair(which loosened my natural curls, lol). Anyway, while long(er) length isn't necessarily my goal anymore, she was one of the few highly textured haired ladies I knew that had at the very least…
