Natural Hair Tips

Thinking about going natural?


Here's a few tips:

• Decide if you want to transition with the relaxed hair or do the "BIG CHOP"....

The "Big Chop"


A lot of people think when you go natural you have to cut off all your hair!  In the natural world, we call this the "Big Chop".  Some people would rather not fight the 2 different textures of hair (relaxer and natural).  But if you have patience, you can transition without this step.  Yes, it is a lot more challenging and time consuming to transition without the big chop, but you can do it!

• Make sure you're going natural for the right reasons...if not, you may not make it!

Chemical Withdrawls:


Huh!  What's this?  Some people have said, oh going natural is just a fad...everyones doing it and jumping on the band wagon.  If you are a hopper, you won't make it.  You'll be back to the crack within a month!  I've heard so many people say, Girl, I couldn't do it...Why?  I just couldn't walk around with my hair looking a hot mess...

• Do your research! 

There's a lot of sites out there catering to the natural hair community.  You can't do everything they do with their hair!
