Alright y'all most of my life I've been rockin the fade cut, but about a year ago I started to grow my hair to get some braids. The thing is I have no idea how to manage my afro.
I can't believe I'm crackin on myself but sometimes my hair be straight up nappy, it is so frustrating. I got some friends with some afros and when they pick their hair during the day, it'll go through like butter, as for me I got to go to the bathroom and torture myself by trying to pick my fro.
I've tried the texturizer kits, and yeah they helped for the most part but then they return to its natural state: nappy. I'm really not sure what do I do to upkeep it after the texturizer (used the 360 stylin blow out kit). Also I really don't like such harsh chemicals in my hair, so is there anyway staying natural and having nappy free hair with out a texturizer? Thanks in advance y'all any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm sorry to hear that Jay, I remember I had to cut my hair 3 years back because of what a product did, I was about to cry seeing my long hair on the barbers floor. What really is a trip is I have the leave in treatment on my bathroom counter and I have used it once, but I really didn't get any problems from it. To me really, I find that Doo Gro is complete BS. It probably works for some but hasn't worked for me really. The only product in the Doo Gro line that really helped me is the Triple Strength Anti Breakage Growth Detangler, it really makes my hair more manageable. Anyways I'm really in need of replys, if anyone knows how to really take care of a fro, drop a comment, it would really be appreciated.
