Advice for naturals? Be not discouraged. There may be a point where you question your decision, so it would be a good idea to come up with a solid reason for why you went natural that will help you through times of weakness. Also, don’t be afraid to do what makes you happy. If you want to cut it all off, do it. If you want to dye it, do it (with a healthy product”>. If you like your hair long, grow it out. If you like your hair straight, straighten it (with a healthy amount of heat”>. Bottom line, it is your hair, no one else’s, so don’t let anyone tell you that you are doing your natural journey “wrong”. As long as you are happy with yourself, you are “doing it right”.
