Episode 1: Welcome to Confessions of an Awkward Natural

Hey there, and welcome to Confessions of an Awkward Natural! This is the place where we get real about hair—no judgment, no filters, just honest conversations and relatable moments. Whether you’re rocking a twist-out, hiding your wash day under a scarf, or considering a big chop for the third time this year, you’re in the right place.

Here, we celebrate the highs and lows of natural hair care. Got a few flakes? Embracing your greys? Still trying to figure out how to keep those edges from looking like a crime scene by noon? Same. Hair care is a journey, and every strand has a story.

Let me introduce myself. I’m Sharon, the founder of Tikuri Collection, and I have a confession: being a natural is hard. Like, really hard. It took me years to figure out how to care for my hair, and even now, some days, it’s me versus my detangling brush. Spoiler alert: the brush wins. But here’s the thing—I wouldn’t trade this journey for anything.

This blog is my way of sharing my wins, fails, and everything in between. Along the way, I’ll let you in on the tips, tricks, and lessons I’ve learned (usually the hard way). More importantly, this is a space for us to connect. I want to hear your stories, too—the good, the bad, and the “I can’t believe I tried that” moments.

So, grab your satin scarf and settle in. Let’s laugh, learn, and share together. Don’t forget to join our email list so you never miss a post. And if you’re feeling brave, share your own confessions in the comments below—because, trust me, we’ve all been there.

Here’s to loving our hair, one curl, kink, or coil at a time.
