As many of you know, I will be six weeks post relaxer on Saturday. After washing my hair with Sebastians Celloshampoo, a desire to go Natural came over me. Before last night I had the attitude that I CAN'T DO WITHOUT MY PERM!" I have seen a lot of Natural ladies' pictures that were very beautiful.
My hair type is 4b. So, in my natural state, my hair is tightly coiled. Also, water causes a lot of shrinkage. I can recall having hair about an two inches above bra-strap but as soon as water touches, I have a mini mini fro. I am 30 now. I got my first relaxer when I was 21-(Only because it was hard to get someone to press and curl my hair. No one wanted to press and curl my thick mane!)
So, Naturals, if you care to share, what are your secrets? How long did your transition last before you were 100% natural? Did you experience any breakage? How can I deal with shrinkage?
