Q: why do u prefer natural hair? Any advice to a future natural?
A: My hair holds styles better and they last longer, my hair is stronger (it was still strong when I relaxed, but now my hair rarely sheds). My hair is so much softer, too... when I was relaxed, my hair tended to be a little stiff, and I didn't like it. My hair also grows like a weed (I'm not really a fan of long hair, so I generally cut it to about collarbone length whenever it gets longer than that).
Advice? Go natural because you want to, not because you feel pressured to do it. I've encountered some naturals that were miserable (LOL); it makes no sense to me. I've always said, if someone isn't paying for your hair upkeep, fukk their opinions!!
Try different products, but you don't have to spend a ton of money on them. People spend all this money on curly pudding merengue paste sculpting gel oil (LOL) when they really don't need all that shyt. All you really need is a good shampoo and conditioner, a good deep conditioner and something (usually an oil) to seal your ends.
