If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. We've all heard this saying before, but did you ever think to apply it to your hair? When I was transitioning, my routine was constantly evolving. Everytime I thought I knew what my hair wanted, the season would change and my routine had to change with them. I thought things would be different after I became a full-fledged natural. Ladies, I was wrong! Nearly six months later, I'm still adjusting (but that's for another post), and at times I want to scream.
When you reach the screaming point as I like to call it, it's probably time to adjust your routine. The important thing is to find what works best for your curls. What worked during the spring might not work in the summer or fall. The best thing you can do is listen to your hair and obey. Natural hair doesn't have to ruin your life or rule your life. It's up to you to take control of the curls and give them what they need to behave. Think of your curls like you would a newborn baby. They may not be able to speak to you in a way you understand, but they have their way of telling you what they need. Remember to take it one product at a time, so you can tell what your hair responds best to. You don't want to change your entire product routine and give up those holy grails when you don't need to. As always ,stay beautifully curly, my fellow Chasers!
