This is one of the hardest transitions your hair will ever undergo so you might want to be patient and ready when you’ve reached the decision to go natural. Some people make this decision because they either want natural combing hair or to grow dreadlocks. You have to remember a relaxer is permanent, whatever part of your hair that’s relaxed will have to grow out, and that’s where patience comes in. Do not wash your hair daily (like some people might have told you) that only makes the hair dry causing breakage. Best thing is to wash your hair weekly…

MAC D: “Hey guys, I know this is kind of strange for me to be writing you this short note, but I believe that it is the proper way to let you know about my resignation from Harmonik.

1. People change. This is so obvious but it’s the leading cause of friendship death in your twenties so we must acknowledge it. You don’t know who you are at the age of twenty but you gravitate towards who makes the most sense in that moment.
