14. Keep it Real. Know your hair type and what it can do, accept that it may not always do what you want it to do. And while weaves and other extensions may give your hair a break, they may actually be breaking your hair off. Synthetic hair like kanekalon can be harmful to the hair. If it can be burned on the ends, and shaped to form a ball, just think of micro strands of PLASTIC being braided into your natural hair! Also if the braids are worn often, for long periods of time, you at high risk for permanent hair loss. If you must use weave or extension hair, be sure it is human, and CLEAN.

15. Reflect. Why did you go natural in the first place? What motivated you? What gave you the courage to do the Big Chop? What did you do to prepare? How did you feel when you felt and saw your natural hair? These are all things to consider as you reflect. You may rekindle a flame that was trying to go out.
