Hair is hair whether natural or relaxed, and yes, you are going to have some issues concerning it from time to time. It takes some work for you to keep your natural hair tidy and good looking and it has to be done correctly.
There are few issues that can or will arise when dealing with natural hair especially for newly naturals. They are:
1. Question of "where do I start?" You can't shy away from this question. If you have never dealt with natural hair, then you are going to be clueless. You will need to search on web or go to natural hair salon.
2. You may not like what you are getting from being natural. Yes, hair changes with time. It could be hormonal or it could be that your hair needs to get used to a different way of being treated, but whatever the reason, newly naturals can become very different in a few weeks, months or years. Take note!
3. Dealing with the transition period. This is for those transitioning from relaxed hair to natural hair. If you need to keep your hair length and not cut it, you will have to work with 2 different texture of hair and figure out how to deal with it. You may try a protective style like braids or weaves. It's hard but fret not, you are not alone and there's help.
4. Buying new products. Trust me, you will definitely need natural hair care products to take good care of your natural hair. There is a difference between relaxed hair care products and natural hair care products because most of these products are made for chemically treated hair.
5. Expensive hair care products. Although, this solely depends on the individual but then most of these natural hair care product are damn expensive. You can get cheaper product if you can't get expensive ones. The list of natural hair care products is growing but let's face it, it may take a while for you to find what works best for you. Meanwhile, you have growth frustration. My dear, don't worry, you will find the holy grail soon enough.
6. Detangling - it is a big issue for quite a few naturals and some struggle through it while others may just quit the natural hair journey. This is where the use of water is necessary. Natural hair needs and loves water. It is very essential.
I believe most naturals would agree that being natural is worth all the headaches in the world.
Don't get discouraged. Stay tuned!
