I guess I'm on my 3rd go at natural hair. Take 1 I was a product junky, no protective styling at all. Take 2 I just didn't pay it any mind. Wash and go's, was very lazy. This 3rd time around I'm doing all the right things except a few set backs. I think the main changewould have been transitioning my color out longer, less trims even though I barely. Not touching heat always a big one. And moisture more. Not forgetting I need to often.
