Black Women HELP! I just went Natural with my hair.... I often get frustrated with it? HELP!?

I think my hair is more healthly now that i don't have a perm but i don't think it will stay that way if i can't figure out what to do with it. I also have a banquet coming and i have no clue what to do with my hair. Its really curly not really nappy or kinky it is just hard to deal with.

check out some of the websites mentioned above...

work in small sections...dont depend on grease and oils to keep ur hair moisturized...give up the idea of trying to treat ur hair like relaxed hair...use heat sparingly...wear a silk scarf at nite...choose a low sulfate shampoo if u use shampoo...dont put ur hair into super tight styles...ur hair can still break even if its natural...

for a banquet...how about doing 2 strand twists and pinning them up in the back...with a few bobby pins..leave a few tendrils out in the front....

use pomade or gel to do the twists...if u have major shrinkage after ur hair is wet...do ur twists with pomade...if not use gel...

if u have time...a few days before or soemthing..practice a style before the banquet so that u can perfect it...

good luck

My hair is the same way. Instead of using chemicals, i use straight irons, only one a week or so. If you wanna wear it curly use bed head products. They are really good at holding curl.
