00:00Congratulations! You or someone you know has decided to go natural.
00:04You're putting down that bucket of relaxer and maybe putting a freeze on the hot iron just to see what happens.
00:10You probably even put in an order on Amazon for an excessive amount of shea butter.
00:14Welcome to the family.
00:16Here at Naturally Curly, we're great at making lists.
00:1810 conditioners under $5.
00:20100 gels that won't make your hair crunchy.
00:23But there are actually three more things you need to go natural successfully this year.
00:27Things that money can't buy because they live right here in your heart pocket.
00:40First thing you'll need is a sense of humor.
00:43Yes, there are going to be some days that you look like Frederick Douglass a little bit in the face.
00:48Okay?
00:49Three day wash and go looks like Sideshow Bob.
00:52You know what I'm saying?
00:53You might be 47 and your twist out makes you look 11 years old.
00:56Laugh it off.
00:57Don't take yourself too seriously.
00:59The second thing you'll need is patience.
01:01Maybe it's been two months and you're still ball head.
01:04I can't believe you.
01:07Maybe it's been three months and you're still ball head.
01:10It's okay.
01:11Give yourself some time.
01:12Maybe don't do your link checks every single day.
01:15How about once a month?
01:16Last but certainly not least, you will need self love.
01:21Sure.
01:22Nikki has baby hairs.
01:23I have what are known as beady beads.
01:26Alright?
01:27But it's okay.
01:28Because why?
01:29I love myself.
01:30How you gonna win if you ain't right with things?
01:32Uh-uh.
01:33Come again.
01:34No amount of leave-in conditioner can compensate for those three key ingredients.
01:39Society is still throwing shady messages our way, so if you're gonna walk your curly and
01:43coily hair, you're gonna need a little more than a $30 curling cream.
