Okay, this may be a stupid question.... I've been thinking about transitioning to natural for a while now, but lately I've gotten really serious about it and doing research etc. so that I can transition the RIGHT way.
I've had relaxed hair for so long, that I don't really know the "differences" between how to care for relaxed hair vs. natural hair.
This may be a silly question, but....when you're natural, do you still have to oil your scalp even if your scalp naturally will make those oils? Or do you only oil the hair shaft to ensure that oils and nutrients reach down the hair shaft with coiled hair.
I'm just curious what the oil/moisturizing routine is. It's so weird that knowing how to properly care for the hair that NATURALLY grows out of my scalp is so foreign to me! I've been so used to caring for relaxed hair that I have no idea how to care for natural hair. erplexed
