Hi, All!

Long story short: I transitioned for 8 months before doing my BC.
Last Perm: March 2008
BC: November 22, 2008

Hair Type(s): 3c, 4a, 4b (mostly 4a with some 3c & 4b sections)

Reason for going natural: I was tired of getting perms, of always wearing my hair straight, and not having many style options except to cut it in a style. I also couldn't color my hair with a perm, I tried once and had lots of breakage. Overall, I've had no bad experiences from perms, it was pretty routine, but I got bored with it and I also just wanted to accept my hair for what it was & not continue to alter it. My hair grew long with a perm so I'm sure I can achieve the same goal without the chemicals.

Regimen:
Pretty simple. I've tried many products but my staples are: unrefined, raw shea butter; extra-virgin coconut oil; water; vegetable glycerin; and ic Fantasia Olive Gel. Any other product I have listed in my "Products" album is occasional.

I shampoo about once every 2 weeks with Avalon Organic Shampoo.
Co-wash every 3-4 days with Organix Shea Butter Conditioner or Suave Coconut Conditioner.
Detangle hair in the shower with conditioner still in my hair.
Twist-out styles: apply Kinky Curly Knot Today for my leave-in, Olive Oil, and then make 12-15 twists all over applying a small amount of shea butter and/or coconut oil while twisting. Let air dry and unravel and style.
Wash-and-go/puffs: apply Kinky Curly Knot Today, then something to define my curls like Miss Jessie's Silkening Cream or Donna Marie CoCo Curly Butter. (I will be trying Cantu Shea Butter soon, to see if I like better)

Other than that, wrap my hair up at night with a satin scarf or bonnet, and that's it.

Take care and Stay Encouraged, Ladies!
Being Natural is NOT Difficult!! :-) Just change the way you think.
