The one major thing I hated about being natural is the heat; your hair style not going to make it through the morning in the hot weather of Florida. So what I learned to do is us a anti frizz control to tam the frizz a little, then use the other products for your hair style , but over all I decided to just keep it braided up till I can better manage the frizz and puff effect the heat got it doing. so maybe when its time to take the braids out ill eco gel it into a style that's good for work and school but still styles.
