If you have kinky/curly 4b or 4a hair and you are still trying to find reasons for transitioning from relaxed to natural hair, this is the resource for you.

If you are contemplating growing out your natural hair, do not rebuke those who style their hair in whatever way they want to wear it. It can be fun to wear chemically straightened hair and the styles are fun and stylish. This is also true for wigs and weaves when they are done correctly.

The down side of these hair styles for women with curly hair is the high expense, the bad effects on the hair and scalp and any unspecified harm it could be doing to your lungs and body because of the chemicals.

Black hair care and long term transitioning do not have to be a challenge if you have the right techniques. Visit black hair forums, black hair care forums and research as many black hair care tips as you as you can. Do searches for terms like natural hair, natural hair styles, transitioning, black hair transition, transitioning advice, natural hair advice or long term transitioning to find the best information.

If you are pondering growing out natural hair going from relaxed hair to natural hair and growing out natural hair here are some of ideas of why it could be a good decision for you:

- Achieving Healthier Hair and Scalp: Chemical straightener is made out of awfully severe chemicals which can hurt your scalp causing dandruff, dryness and other bad scalp conditions. Let's not even talk about the scabs you get from getting the those burns. The odors of the chemicals are not good for your lungs either.

- To cease the cruelty: Consider that burn while you wait for your hair stylist to just finish off that final area of your hair, and you need to allow the straightener stay in for as long as you can stand it so that your hair gets maximum straightness. Having natural hair means never having another burn again.

- To save cash: If you get your hair straightened at a hair salon, it gets pricey. If you do it at home, the costs are lower, however you still have to pay the cost of purchasing the relaxer, shampoo and conditioner and the other thousands of dollars in products that you inevitably purchase for your chemically relaxed hair. After you have natural hair and a good amount of natural and organic products, your monthly hair expenditure should be zero or close to zero.

- Experiencing the Gratification Of Being You: This is somewhat subjective, but there is something wonderful and empowering about living in your full natural self. Arguably, relaxers, wigs and weaves are as much part of African-American hair tradition as are braids, locs and afros because all of the styles come from cultural ingenuity and creativity. But growing out a natural head of hair can't help but give you a sense of legitimacy and pride. There's a certain amount of liberty in getting rid of damaged hair, not trying to change any part of your natural appearance and wearing natural hairstyles and this feels fantastic.

Last thought: For the best care of your natural hair, always deep condition and always moisturize and avoid tight or stressful styles. Talk to natural hair salons or other natural hair care professionals if you do not have a lot of confidence or experience with doing your hair yourself.
