It might help if you post pics so folks can know what you're working with.

ok so you got a nice lil twa (teeny weeny afro)..but like I said before get it mositurized..I kno dudes rally dont care about hair products but buy some good oils and butters like castor oil,jojoba oil, extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, and shea butter to seal your moisture in after you wash it

I agree with rayray. The key to taking care of your hair is moisture. Find a good oil, or a leave in conditioner. I make a whipped shea butter that my boyfriend likes to use in his hair. And wear a doo rag on your hair at night to help keep your hair moisturized.

Just make sure you get something that will help add moisture to your hair. Oils are usually used in addition to a moisturizer to help seal in the moisture

Good question Lynnie! That's what I wanted to know.

Are you planning on growing it out? What kinds of styles are you interested in?
