Having been natural only 9 months and starting from close to a bald head, I know how frustrating your hair can become and how some days it doesn't even seem worth it, but HOLD ON sista!! I have tried to come up with some solutions to help you out of your HAIR RUT!
1. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
Any time that you feel that this journey is in vain, look back at where you started and this should give you an ego boost.
2. SEARCH FOR STYLE IDEAS
When I get bored with what I can come up with myself, I always turn to my laptop or phone for inspiration. My fave is youtube. Search natural hair or TWA (teeny weeny afro) and there are millions of videos. You can even be specific and search "styling your TWA" or "twistout on short hair" and get great results. Also, set up a youtube login and subscribe to different vloggers channels. When you do this, you will get updates when they add new videos and that is always a highlight of my day.
Other places you can turn to are FOTKI, Facebook, tumblr and other natural hair communities that require you to register and become a member. My favorites are naturalsunshine.com and nappturality.com
3. MODIFY YOUR REGIMEN
If you feel that your hair is becoming dry,brittle or lackluster then it is definitely time to revamp your regimen. Try new products or try switching some out. I have so many products in my closet, that I can always use something new! Or use a product that you have been wanting to try and maybe this could be the product you were looking for!
I know sometimes it gets hard on this natural journey, but surround yourself with people who support your decision and those who have been where you are in your journey....a little encouragement never hurt anybody!!
