It is so wonderful to see sistas loving themselves and going back to their natural gorgeous selves. I thank my mother that I was never given a perm as child and my hair was regularly braided since age 2. I want to say to mothers to be a best example to your daughters (and sons) to love themselves. I have an 11 year old daughter and her hair has always been natural as mine was and she has always been confident and radiant. As well, it is truly liberating to be you so enjoy your new freedom as you come back to you.:)
I want to say that anyone who has had a perm must know that your natural hair has been changed at the root so the transition going natural can be difficult because you of abuse. Be very patient and NURTURE your hair back by using simple all-natural paraben-free, toxic-free products like 100% natural olive oil, avocado oil, neem oil and coconut oil. Please do not use any mineral oil/grease/vasoline. These are toxic and extremely damaging-imagine putting gasoline from your car on your hair. Please research ingredients in your “natural” hair products or black hair products, why give rid of the perm and still use toxic hair products without the perm: go to sites like http://www.safecosmetics.org to learn more. And remember that what you eat feeds your hair as well, eating unhealthy foods grows unhealthy hair. And deeply love you from your crown to the soles of your feet, this will free you to be confident and experiment with your hair. I have had locks, clean shaven hair, braids, twists,etc. Love you and love life!

My best advice would have to be to moisturize with a water based moisturizer and then seal it in. It will save your ends and help retain length.

Remember that your beauty isn’t defined by your hair. You’re always beautiful, and the hair is just a supplement. =]

I love my natural hair, been growing it for the past two years. I’m rocking my locs and LOVING it.

Go ahead my sisters, natural hair is beautiful.

I agree with Niki, you don’t have to “sleep cute” with natural hair to look cute. It comes naturally.

What an invaluable post! I hope that this (and #naturalhair day on Twitter) made a difference in the lives of women who may not have the support or insight in their immediate circles. Your site (and countless others) are a great resource.

I’ve been transitioning for 9 months and I’m very happy. Yes, I have gotten the “you need a perm” or why not get dreds if you wanna be natural, or the “you don’t wanna look nice with permed hair?” I am loving the transition. My hair has grown very fast, I’m 5 inches natural, 5 inches relaxed and my hair is very soft and manageable. I love this transition and I can’t see myself putting another relaxer in my hair or even straightening it. I love my natural texture.

Don’t believe the hype that natural styling = expensive salons. Let teens that are used to styling younger (non-relaxed) siblings hair,braid & twist yours. You will recieve LOADS of creativity from them & pay minimal $. Been natural for 3.5 years. Loved my huge fro of curls. But the same style can be SO boring no matter how “cool” it looks to newbies. So do YOU! Cut it, color it, loc it, pin & twist it. Rock your hair.
