Welcome Newbies!

I’m new at this. I’ve never had a relaxer but have always straightened my hair. I want to start a natural journey and use less heat but my texture is straight due to so much heat over the years. How and where do I start? There are tons of products 😔

Sorry about this. The forum was spammed with racist posts a few hours ago and I have been cleaning it up. All posting privileges have been restored now.

Hi, I’m Nicole and I have been natural for 3 years now. I have mostly done protective styles as I don’t have any talent in doing my own hair. I want to learn but feel daunted about where to start. I still don’t know basics, like how often should I use the LOC method, whether to wash or co-wash, and how to establish a regular hair care regimen. I keep hiding my natural hair because I simply don’t know what to do. And when I try to do my own hair, I get a lot of breakage. Help!

Hi everyone! I’m a newbie. I have had locs for almost 9 months now. I have a dandruff problem I’m battling right now. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I don’t want to over wash but it seems like I can’t go more than a week between washes. I oil my scalp but it becomes extremely dry in a day. Help!
