One of the most difficult things about going transitioning from a perm to natural hair and about having natural hair is finding a good hair style or styles. I’ve been through this myself and I feel your pain.
Black hair does not lend itself to “down” hairstyles (as my girls used to call it) and once the days of dog ears and pig tails are over, African-American women often struggle with how to wear their hair when it does not have chemicals on it. Adding to that, during the transitional phase you’ve got two completely different textures, assuming you don’t do the “Big Chop”.
