There are thousands of women, especially people of African descent, wanting to transition to virgin hair. I want you to know that you are not alone on this journey. There are a lot of women who have achieved their desired length of hair. Some, according to their story, focused on DIY (do it yourself) whereas some used a combination of already made products and DIY.

Patience is one of the common factors in their success story. Someone might ask why there is much emphasize on patience, here are the reasons:
If you are not ready to spend hours working on your hair, maybe you should think twice before venturing into a natural hair journey. If you want to grow healthy and voluminous hair, you can not do without spending hours. The trick is to plan it out, my wash day is usually on weekends and after applying hair mask I will start house chores while I wait for the time to wash it out. Managing natural hair is not easy, I guess my sister couldn't handle the stress well and she went back to relaxed hair. But after seeing how curly my afro hair is, she went back again to transitioning.
You need patience while trying some products or DIY to know if actually it's working on your hair before dashing into another. Being consistent with a particular product or DIY will give you room to know what the product can offer.

Moreover, Chinwe Juliet (owner of igbocurls blog) is the first person I learnt about natural hair from. I was actually browsing the web for solutions to curb the shading of my relaxed hair and I stumbled on her page. Initially, it was difficult for me to believe that the hair on her head was her natural hair without extension. After much research I got to find out that natural hair is what is trending. It amazes me how natural hair styles have turned out to be a style to reckon with. Before now some people used to view a lady with natural hair as a born again christain or a village girl what the Igbos call mgbeke. Nowadays the narrative has really changed and so fast.
