You can transition to natural hair for 5, 12, 24 or however many months you want, and your journey is still gonna be full of learning curves, happy discoveries, some surprises, and a lot of frustrations and doubt.

Those of you who read my posts here know that I am a big supporter of natural hair brands that insist on, favour and support natural ingredients in their products (or the closest to it) in detriment of chemical ones.
