Unfortunately , I was unenlightened and put a perm in my daughter'sn very thick and healthy hair when she was in first grade, although my hair was natural at the time . I never really learned how to do my hair in it's natural state. To her credit my daughter came to me in the 4th grade and said , "No more perms"- she transitioned and we both learned how to style her hair in easy and cute styles. Now we are both rockin' locs. The most important thing is to find products that work for your type of hair. It may be a long haul but once you find the products , you will fallin love with your hair!! Great post.

I think the reason I've never had breakage or difficulty with headbands is, I'm very careful with the kinds I buy. Just like with my shoe purchases, you have to consider comfort first. Don't wear something tight and constricting on your head, and don't wear headbands every day. Switch up your style at least twice a week, and like I said earlier, wear a much wider, stretchier, and bigger headband than your straight-haired friends. Avoid the tight plastic variety, and go for stretchy, comfortable elastic. And don't tie your cloth headbands too tight -- there's no need to be all Rambo about it!

Like two other bellas, I recently cut m locs after five years and I'm getting used to having such short hair. I'm constantly fearful of being mistaken for a boy but just reading this has reminded me that I need to be more confident in myself and know there's more to me than my hair. Thanks for this post and thank you guys for your comments. Oh man, this post came right on time.

Like tan, I wore locs for some years and have recently cut/picked them out, so now I'm wearing the wash-and-go 'fro. Lola, if there's one product I'd recommend you try for softening hair, it's CASTOR OIL. Yes, the stuff you get in the laxative section of the pharmacy! Use a TINY BIT of this on damp hair and your hair will be so soft. If you've had a chance to check out Nappturality, there's a LOT of threads discussing castor oil. Good luck to you and your mom!
