this site has a section on going natural.



i use to straighten my hair a lot and doing that drys out your hair so doing a deep conditioning treatment at least every two weeks helps and curly Afro hair is naturally dry so you much make sure you regularly moisturise it.



also you can do conditioner wash, which is when you wash your hair with only conditioner and this helps because conditioners don't dry out your hair like non-moisturising shampoos with has in ingredients that clean but dry out your hair like,Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate,ammonium lauryl ,ammonium laureth sulfate which are Detergents

which clean but dry out your hair.



also avoid; mineral oil and petroleum because they clog your scalp and if you put any thing on your scalp only use light oils like;tea tree oil,carrot oil,jojoba oil etc and hair butters like Shea butter and avocado butterI've decided to go natural.How do I do twists and any naturally curly hair style ideas?

Since you are natural try essential oils to grow and thicken your hair. It is also on the same website...the ultimate hair thickener is Castor Oil (they have different varieties..I believe that the Jamaican black is best) - See camdengrey.com for some good prices on oils or go to your local CVS pharmacy..the oil section is always near the pharmacy in the back.



This is an excellent website to help you on your journey...

when your hair is wet you can put it in bendy rollers and keep them in over night. Then when you takee them out it leaves a nice natural curl and makes the hair feel and look thicker. To make it thicker you can get speacial hair shampoo and conditioner.
if you want it curly then put your hair in little plats befor you go too bed (the bigger the plat the less wavey) and if you want it thiker and you have thin hair cut it short and layered at the back or ask your hair dresser for ideas
When your hair is wet, you can put some mousse in it and scrunch it, then blow dry it on low speed... This makes really nice natural looking ringlets and adds a little bit of volume... If I were you I'd also put some heat defence serum in (id recommend L'oreal studio heatseeker... Its really good!)
I have curly hair and one way you can twist it is by getting your hair wet then grabbing 2 strands of hair than twisting them together(do that till all your hair is in twists). then put it against your head and clip it. then about 30min to an 1hour later take out all the clips and you have twists
Good choice. You'll have to give it time to adjust though.



Devachan products are great for curls, but you don't have to go to the salon, you can buy the products online or at ricky's.



Go to naturallycurly.com to get more tips from people with the same type of curl you have.



Don't shampoo your hair everyday, but condition often and use an old t-shirt instead of a towel to dry, squeese out the excess water by hand then using the tshirt ';scrunch'; the water out. then just use a leave-in conditioner and either air dry or difuse (never ever blow dry).
