		<description>I am transitioning to natural for the first time, I&#039;m learning daily how to care for my hair better my last perm was Dec 21, 2011 so I don&#039;t really have any new growth yet because its only been about 5 weeks. I plan on getting braids this weekend and keeping them in for about a month and a half or 2months. Do you have any advice on how i can care for my hair while it is in braids (extensions). Should i wash it, if so how often?? Please help :)</description>

		<description>Thank you so much for the invaluable information in this article. I arrived here after setting new goals for my hair and examining the current issues I am having with my hair. This is my second (and I believe last) transition to totally natural hair. My roots are natural and about 3-4 inches of new growth. The rest has relaxer residue. From your article, I learned that I have to deep condition more often and not press my hair (which I was tempted to do). Keep up the great work!</description>

		<description>Good Info and I couldn&#039;t agree more. I did the Big Chop earlier this year to minimize the task of dealing with 2 different hair texture. The key like the writer mentioned is to educate yourself on website like this one and be patience. I follow individuals that have similar hair texture to mine and learn pretty fast that what might works for someone else hair, may not on mine. Thanks.</description>
