Learn to enjoy the journey and realize you are going to have up days and down days and days where you really don't want to deal with your hair another minute. When it gets to that time, just hide your hair.
Keep your routines simple, you will be tempted and some of you will go ahead and jump on every bandwagon that comes along. Don't be too hard on yourselves get back to the basics.
No question is a dumb question accept the question that is never asked. There is someone on this board that has an answer or can help you find an answer.
Satin, silk, soft material bonnets are your friends use them always, buy 3 or 4 put them all over your bedroom and bathroom so you will be able to find one.
Sometimes just placing a plastic cap over your head while you are in the house for the day or doing house chores is enough of a water bath for your hair. Water is THE KEY!
Visit fotkis of natural sistahs often, they become your lifeline many times in keeping you encouraged. Especially those who you find have hair similar to yours.
Create a hair journal electronically so that you can cut and paste many of the threads, comments, advice and addresses of fotkis that you visit. Keep your comparision statistics and pictures in this journal, recipes, site addresses for articles, great hair blogs, etc.
WARNING: DO NOT go to hair salons that have never ever dealt with cutting, shaping, or handling natural hair! Do research, get references and then more research and more references if you do decide to go to one. If for any reason you don't feel comfortable if or when you go to a stylist, STOP HER or HIM....and leave the building immediately.
