On a New Path with Hair (part 2)

It has been a long period of time since writing part one, and I have some excited news to share. I will get right to the point and tell you that I have gone 'no heat' natural. For my friends that may not know what that means, I will define what going natural(sans heat) means for me. My hair is left in it's natural afro state and I style it from there.  I am apart of a beautiful growing trend of black women who have decided to wear their natural coils/curls and refrain from straightened hair as a regular style. As of today, you can find these natural black hair communities in every social media outlet in America and in many countries around the globe. One of the major results of going natural has been the freedom to exercise and get our hair wet. It's exciting to join the online organizations and see so many black women partaking in active lifestyles because of natural manes. I hope to look around at my next triathlon and see more women of color, which is why this blog exists. For my readers of color who are natural(no heat), would you consider a sprint-triathlon now that you can 'get in the water'?
