    3. Even if she relaxes it later, she would still go back to natural sometime in future. You can't be natural for so long, and not truly see the great benefits of being natural.

    5. @chidiebere you are right...After all the investments one can't forget it so quickly. You will also think of how your hair thrived during that phase.

  2. That fear/challenge is real for some...but that's where the spirit of DIY's and mixing should begin to manifest. LOL

  5. At the start, it easy to believe certain products will get you certain feel to your hair. But with time you will realize that you do not need so much product and most times a cheaper alternative is lying around you somewhere.
