Everything Girls with Kinks and Curls Should Know About Growing Longer, Stronger Hair

While the Internet is great for endless inspiration, it can be tricky watching tons of videos and reading information and expecting it to work on your natural hair. Not to mention the endless trial and error of purchasing products just hoping they'll work.

"I think all knowledge is good knowledge, but it doesn't mean it's the right knowledge for you," says Sturdivant-Drew. "Go to a stylist, and have the stylist show you what to do with your own hair. I do that a lot with my clients because they don't know. It's not that they want to look like they just walked out of a salon every day, but they do want to look presentable so they ask me to show them what to do, and then they get the hang of it."

"I wish people could get off the internet to learn their own hair texture," Waajid adds. "Don't look at the girl in the video so much. Seek the advice of a professional with a great reputation. They can help you understand your hair."
