So the “new” hype is natural hair. No relaxer, just curly natural hair. I have been relaxing my hair since junior high so all I know is straight relaxed hair. I can't stand my hair when I've gone too long without relaxing so I tend to keep it in a ponytail until I go to a salon. I hate washing my own hair (“ain’t nobody got time for that”) and I am not creative at all when it comes to styling my hair.
However, my hair has been breaking for months. I can’t comb it without seeing a bunch of strands on the floor or in the sink. Thus, my reasoning for “going natural”. I haven’t had a perm for almost 3 months now. And the last time I washed my own hair I think I did pretty well.
My issue is styling. And dealing with transitioning hair.
I have spent hours looking on different blogs and websites for advice on products and styling. But I haven’t found a blog for beginners who are transitioning. My hair is straight, but maybe an inch (or less) from the roots is curly. I have no clue what to do with it, and I’m so ready to give up and go back to my “creamy crack”.
Also, my baby girl has some off the wall, short, natural hair. I have yet to find a good tutorial on what to do with my toddlers hair. She hates when I wash it! And I have no clue how to style it, so she goes out with an uncombed afro everyday. I feel bad but I’m so clueless when it comes to natural hair! I dont know how to cornrow (neatly, or on short hair), and her hair’s too short to do much of anything other than aforementioned afro, so I’m at a loss…
Can someone out there help me out???
