Also folks on here talking curly hair and showing pictures of girls with natural hair that isn't curly and how you need a certain type of hair for it to be curly are just talking.
As a man with a wife and two daughters that are natural getting the curly hair look is easy as fukk. Some of these folks that go natural get frustrated when it grows longer and don't follow the proper techniques to maintain the hair.
I got sister in-laws that were bytching that they couldn't get the curly hair look like my wife and then saying stupid shyt like see she got good hair. I am like heffas what are you talking about y'all got the same momma and daddy. You got the same hair....stop being lazy and moisterize your hair and twist it at night. You have course and very kinky hair (which contrary to popular belief is the best type of hair to grow long because it is the strongest.....since black folks hair is the most delicate type of hair in the world). Stop using picks to comb it (which breaks the hair), detangle by hand and use oil to seal the edges.
My sister in-laws followed the proces that I explained to them and now their hair has curls and similar length as my wife's.
Oh and this talk that black men don't approach sistas with natural hair is a myth also. Even my wife stated that she gets hit on by brothas even more since she has been natural. Brothas like natural hair.....I can't count how many married couples I know where the wife went natural because her black husband asked her to.
I went to the NSBE convention this past March and I would say at least 75% of the sistas there were natural from light skin to dark skin to every color in between. You had sistas with hair down their back and curly just like the mya picture (many of these sistas were dark skin so folks can't say they were mixed). Them natural sistas at NSBE had to damn near beat the brothas away with sticks how hard they were trying to hollar.
Anyway as a man who has worked on my wife's hair from the transition state until now, taking care of natural hair is all about taking time and effort and no short cuts. Even money isn't an issue because for years all I used on my wife's hair was water, organic natural coconut oil, apple cider vinegar for washing and avocado oil for hot oil treatment. It was just all about staying consistant with washing (being smart to section the hair and wash one section at a time), moisterizing, detangling by hand and twisting at night.
Like I tell many sistas who are starting the natural hair process if me a damn man can figure this shyt out I know you as a women should have no problem.
