Healthy Hair!

I've come to the conclusion that I'm not going to settle for the brittle and dry state that my hair is in. I feel that it's been going on TOO long!! I want need healthy hair on my head! So, I've decided to go natural. I'm not anti-perm, nor am I saying I will never get a perm again... But I do think that I can take care of, and get to know, my hair a lot better without having a perm. I guess I've been "transitioning" for a while now because I have had braids, and when I take them down, I'd cut about 2 inches off and continue to do so. I'm not going to do a BC [Big Chop], I'm not comfortable with my hair being that short. All of the hair on my head right now, though, is in it's natural state and I've decided to finally just wear it as is.


Now. . . . I NEED HELP!!


Lol, I have NO idea what I'm doing! I've been reading up on different things, asking other "Naturistas" tons of questions, reading forums and blogs and I'm slowly getting the idea but I'm nowhere near where I need to be. I started wearing my hair out on Sept. 30, 2011 and I'm very happy! But ask me again in a week...I may be crying! lol

***UPDATE*** 

• I'm taking Biotin 5000mg once a day 
• I've colored my hair. . .it's not very visible in the pics though 
• I'm actively trying to grow my edges back[if I can], so if you have any tips or tricks about that as well, please let me know!! =)

I snapped some pics..
