My hair grows and is at its healthiest when I don\u2019t touch it at all, which is perfect. Through protective hairstyles and moisturizing my scalp daily, I\u2019ve been able to focus on important tasks rather than stressing over my hair.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How did you learn to care for your hair? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It literally took me 8 years to realize that my hair grows when I do not touch it! I used to dye my hair, do hairstyles every day, and wear heavy protective hairstyles. Through that, my hair did not grow. I lost hair, and even shaved my hair off 3 times because I was just over it all. Then one year, I decided to place in a protective style that was lightweight for the entire year and my hair grew inches!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It takes trial and error to learn what your hair loves. Mine loves to be alone and oiled down every other day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1030\" height=\"1030\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ARL_Donnya-N_Hair-Tutorial_Photo_13.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ARL_Donnya-N_Hair-Tutorial_Photo_13.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ARL_Donnya-N_Hair-Tutorial_Photo_13.jpg?resize=150,150 150w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ARL_Donnya-N_Hair-Tutorial_Photo_13.jpg?resize=300,300 300w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ARL_Donnya-N_Hair-Tutorial_Photo_13.jpg?resize=768,768 768w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ARL_Donnya-N_Hair-Tutorial_Photo_13.jpg?resize=505,505 505w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ARL_Donnya-N_Hair-Tutorial_Photo_13.jpg?resize=584,584 584w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ARL_Donnya-N_Hair-Tutorial_Photo_13.jpg?resize=210,210 210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why is it important for black women to be able to choose to represent themselves with their natural hair?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is so important! It&#8217;s crazy that we even have to talk about it because it should be normal to do so. This hair is what we were born with, we have no other choice but to love and wear our hair the way we see fit. It is also great to have that representation for young girls to look up to. My daughter absolutely loves her hair because she sees how I appreciate mine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your favorite part of wash day?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be honest, wash day is literally the WHOLE DAY!

I spent years doing what I thought was right when it came to my hair. We are all not the same, and our hair textures prove that. I had to stop doing hairstyles that were made for 3C natural hair, and stick within my lane. This decision literally made me so happy because I was so tired of staying up late to twist my hair at night. There are natural women who have curls, afro\u2019s,&nbsp;locs,&nbsp;sisterlocks, and more. Our hair journey will be different from someone else\u2019s and that\u2019s okay.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the most surprising thing you\u2019ve learned about your hair, or yourself, along your natural hair journey?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What surprised me the most through my hair journey was how it changed me. It was not easy cutting my hair off and getting made fun of by my friends. I started this journey before it was embraced within&nbsp; society so my first couple of months were rough. This journey equipped me for other aspects in my life. I wasn\u2019t afraid of trying something new, I wasn\u2019t afraid of failure or people\u2019s acceptance, I was just unapologetically me.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think being a black woman in general really gives us an extra layer of confidence and strength to do anything, because of the trials we have been through.&nbsp;For that, I thank my natural hair for showing me what I am made of.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ARL_Donnya-N_Hair-Tutorial_Photo_7.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ARL_Donnya-N_Hair-Tutorial_Photo_7.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ARL_Donnya-N_Hair-Tutorial_Photo_7.jpg?resize=150,150 150w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ARL_Donnya-N_Hair-Tutorial_Photo_7.jpg?resize=300,300 300w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ARL_Donnya-N_Hair-Tutorial_Photo_7.jpg?resize=768,768 768w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ARL_Donnya-N_Hair-Tutorial_Photo_7.jpg?resize=505,505 505w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ARL_Donnya-N_Hair-Tutorial_Photo_7.jpg?resize=584,584 584w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ARL_Donnya-N_Hair-Tutorial_Photo_7.jpg?resize=210,210 210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>What did you think of Donnya&#8217;s natural hair care tips <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ae.com\/us\/en\/c\/aerie\/cat4840006?pagetype=plp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Aerie<\/a>, fam?
