Naturals: How did you prepare for the actual BC, as far as conditioning and styling etc. What products did you have on hand? Did you cut at home or at a salon? What styles did you find helpful in the first months post BC ? I know, lots of questions, but inquiring minds want to know. Lol
Man, I wish I knew about this site when I started going natural. When it came down for the BC I was just sick of my relaxed hair. It felt weak and it snapped off entirely too much. So my mom has a background in cosmetology so I went to her to BC. She refused at first, lol. I mean seriously it was basically a scene out of Waiting to Exhale to get her to do it.
I wet it so that it was easy to see what needed to be cut off. I tried to work with it for a few months since it was summertime but I didn't really have many products. I remember I had Miss Jessies curly pudding for my curls and a Maxi glide for when I wanted it straight. I went to weaves pretty soon after that cus I wasn't used to the length and the humidity was killer.
