Virginia is showing up and showing out this week!  I love it! Please welcome another beautiful lady from the Old Dominion state, Alison:

Name:
Alison

What state are you representing?
Virginia

How long have you been natural?
over 10 years

What’s the natural scene like in your area?
The natural scene is very strong here in the Northern VA/DC Area. As a
matter of fact, chics with the perms in this area are the ones that
get the “side eye” now.

Additional comments regarding your natural hair:
I love my natural hair. And I continue to encourage my friends and
family to go natural as well. Too many woman are using chemical
relaxers to straighten their hair, and little do they realize how much
damage it is doing to their manes.
