I would be lying if I said that I didn't go through a short period of "productjunkyism." I believe that most people who transition back to their natural hair patterns do.
Mine was short-lived because I started really reading labels when I made purchases. Because of my health concerns I had been told by my doctor's to avoid soy so I stopped eating tofu and thought that was the end of the matter.
When I started researching more about soy and it's potential side-effects I began to search through all of my beauty products and was astounded at how many things it can be found in. Combine that with its commonplace use in processed foods and I realized that I hadn't been avoiding soy at all which I believe contributed to a health crisis a year or so ago.
Now that I am equipped with more knowledge I make sure that I take my time researching products, ingredients, suppliers and all the rest. My money matters, my health matters and what's inside of everything I purchase matters.
Has returning to natural inspired other changes in your life? If so what have they been? Feel free to share!
