When I first started transitioning, which I only did for like four weeks, my hair started to show it's natural curl pattern. I loved my hair and its naturally "me" pattern. When I ran out of coconut oil and olive oil, my hair seemed to be in a crisis. People who are transitioning or doing the big chop and trying to find there natural curl pattern may find oils to be there friend, but everyone's hair is different.
