Back to Me

Hello everyone! I've finally decided to not be lazy and took my hair down from my braids... And what a pleasant surprise I have recieved...
My hair has grown! I'm very pleased with the way my hair felt when I took the braids out. It felt nice and soft. So appartently I'm doing something right.
I remember when I first began to learn about properly caring for my natural hair, I was sticking to using a set few products that hair guru Kimmaytube was using... I didn't become a product junkie... However, I was obsessing a little about my progress with hair growth. And as time went by I stopped using the things Kimmaytube using, because my hair wasn't a fan of it. (Look at me talking about my hair as if it has a mind of it's own... It kinda does though lol)
The advice I would give to a lady or gentleman that is deciding to grow their hair natural for the first time, transitioning, or whatever the case may be: Patience is key!
Learn about the things many naturals avoid... Such as mineral oils, silicones, Sodium Lauryl and others. No, I'm not saying to avoid them, but I am promoting experimenting on products to find what is best for you.
My hair doesn't like shampoos with Sodium Lauryl, silicone, or protein... Just because many naturals may use certain products that doesn't mean it will work for you. So I reccomend experimenting a little bit.
So remember newly naturals and transitioners:
-patience is key
-experiment a little
