Can someone who's tender-headed go natural and enjoy it?
^^the actual title i intended, can't seem to change what is shown -.-
Either my hair is really thick or more likely I'm tender-headed. I've been transitioning for a year now and I believe I have 4C curls (lol not sure). Boy are they tough to go through! I can't even comb through my hair, I've been finger detangling all this time. Makes me wonder if I detangle properly, because I've seen fully natural girls part their hair like its nothing and to think that I only have 3 inches of growth and I feel pain. Perhaps the reason for my tender-headed-ness is the fact that my hair is in box braids most of the time and the lack of manipulation makes me extra sensitive - I really do not know.
Can someone please help me? I have so many questions I would love answered/discussed:
1) How do you deal with super tight curls or 4C hair?
2) Is it OK to only finger detangle?
3) How to do you properly detangle with a comb and minimal pain/breakage?
4) How do I make myself not so tender headed?
5) Would it hurt less if I cut of my ends?
6) Whenever I'm getting my hair braided and the stylist is partitioning my hair I'm always on the brink of tears. How do you prep your hair for box braids?
7) Do box braids make your scalp more sensitive?
8) I'm a college student and want to transition for another 6 months if possible. Is it OK to transition with box braids (2-4 months at time) and leave my hair out for 1-2weeks between braids?
Anything you say would be truly appreciated
