I also found this list on that site and I thought it was funny but SO true also! And make sure you check out www.mynaturalhairstore.com ! It was alot of products and info!
1. waiting too long to big chop. honey, cut it off already or get good trims and keep that stuff braided up especially if you are type 4 because your breakage is going to be serious.
2. too much heat to compensate for the straight ends. two words – heat damage.
3. going into being natural as if you hair is going to be fab by default. this was my problem. i thought that just by being natural my hair would thrive and grow long and be this larger than life, extra ordinary fro. long it did grow, but thrive. no so much. i didn’t know what i was doing when it came to care nor did i take the time to really learn what other naturals were doing on top of pressing my hair twice a week. talk about breakage. ouch!
4. not letting go of what you used to look like with a relaxer. flaming hot unpopular opinion ahead! news flash! you don’t look that naturally – it’s fake; a mirage, a silicone boobie. it’s fake because you had to FORCE your hair to be straight so when you see the real you it’s a shocker. i know it’s a process, but lets work to get over it and move on with your life.
5. obsession with curl pattern. either you have it or don’t. been there, done that, got the tee shirt. again, we gots to keep it moving and work with you were born with. stop shingling and giving yourself tendinitis and early onset arthritis trying to get your hair that probably has no curl to curl. curls are pretty and so are no curls so let it do what it do.
