I agree with everything in this blog except for the need to BC. I think it is stressful enough to go natural from a relaxer or texturizer without also having to "go bald" or BC with short short hair. If you need to moisturize your hair anyway, why would going gray make it any more difficult? I think the most difficult thing about going natural and gray at the same time is the assumed hairstyle choices. The photo for this article shows a short curly afro. I don't want to wear a short curly or kinky (4B/C) afro. It is lovely on the model but I'd rather wear graying braids. I'd like more information on this website about the best options for coloring your hair while transitioning from chemically altered hair to natural if you wish to do so. I admit I need to look around. I may find that article and still decide graying and natural are a lovely combo and don't require a BC. Thank you for the space to make my comments. Good article.
