The first way to change or bring light to a situation is by education. It is a fact that we do not possess the same knowledge as each other. If we did, a lot of people would have natural hair like Solange Knowles, Janelle Monae, and Keisha Knight Pulliam. Did you know that Keisha is natural? Well, she is and she dishes on her favorite styles to wear on NaturallyCurly.com.
In being natural, do like Janelle does and "Don't give up without a fight. Reach for the stars."
Not giving up without a fight is exactly what you will have to do. I have seen many people start the journey to having natural hair and go as far as doing the big chop, but in the end they relaxed their hair because they could not manage their natural hair. The current misconception about natural hair is that it is easier to do. This could not be a more negative statement. Natural hair takes a lot of work to maintain. If you are in the process of transitioning to natural hair, you should think about the following things before transitioning: How will I wear my hair? Who is going to do my hair? What products will I use? And am I prepared for the mixed emotions from people about my hair? These are all things you should be mindful of before going natural. Naturally, the decision is always yours. Make the decision that is right for you.
If you have decided to go natural, then welcome to the natural club. You have embarked on a tough, yet exciting journey!
