Hi! I started wearing my hair natural back in January. My last relaxer was August 2006. I stopped adding chemicals, but started adding a lot of heat to maintain a straight. When the new year rolled around, I decided to stop being afraid of what I thought people would think of me and I took the plunge. It's been a rocky road and I really have no idea what to do with my hair.
Looking at the texture chart, I'd say my hair is a natural 3C. I've been shampooing once a week and conditioning everyday. I've always been a fan of coconut oil but aside from that I've been kind of lost, product wise. One of my sisters called me excited about Mixed Chicks products (we're biracial and the 3 of us each have very different hair). I can't say that the MC products have done anything for me, so I mainly just make sure my hair is super conditioned. Every morning I use coconut oil to moisturize and I pull it back into a ponytial which turns into a "pom pom" by days end. I'm tired of pulling it back and afraid of causing breakage, but I if I wear if down, it gets really dry and frizzes.
Yesterday I purchased the Quenched Moisturizer and the Curl Souffle, I can't wait until it arrives! Does anyone have any other advice for a struggling newbie?
Oh, and what do, "PJ" and "DT" mean? I read a few threads and had no idea what people were talking about.
I look forward to chatting with everyone.
