    What To Know Before Choosing To Go The Natural Hair Route

    Everything I learned through my own natural hair journey.

    1. Not every product will work for you. And that's okay. You may want to cool it with buying too much. Learn how to say no when necessary.

    2. You have to love your hair even on your worst hair days. Seriously, just feel confident and you'll always manage to look like a god/goddess.

    3. Ignore people who ask, "Why didn't you do your hair?" because you know that you used up too much product and time to even entertain that question.

    4. Don't feel bad about not having the same loose curls as some natural hair youtubers. What works for them may not work for you. Find natural hair youtubers with similar hair texture and go from there.

    5. You're beautiful and have so much to offer. Hair alone doesn't define you. So remind yourself that if you ever feel down about yourself because of what others say or when you feel you can't seem to make it work.
