New to Natural

[raekiko84]

So my name's Raekiko and I've been relaxing my hair for about 15yrs. I've recently noticed since the birth of my almost 2yo that my hair, which grew significantly during pregnancy, was at a stand still and its breaking too much. So I thought going natural would be a good way to teach my hair and myself healthy hair habits. I haven't had a relaxer since oct and I'm dying to relax my hair bc there's soo much new growth, it's unruly and I have no clue how to treat it that doesn't include using a flat iron, blow dryer, or a relaxer. Oh and I decided against the big chop bc I wouldn't feel comfortable. My mom actually gave me a big chop d/t my hair breaking terribly, so I def know this time around it's not for me. However I was thinking of Senegalese twists w/short breaks in between to trim the relaxed tips and promote new growth until I'm at a comfortable length. So if anybody has any tips or helpful products to help bring my dry but lovely locks back to life I'd appreciate it.
