3 weeks into this TRANSITION! any advice and helpful tip?

I am really new to this process. I just made my mind up of transitioning natural. I have been doing research and I could still use some help. I have short relaxed hair, I know i need to do the BC but i'm afraid of having TWA. Why, I just couldn't say. My hair suffers from heat damage and breakage.

Has The Black Hair Care Industry Been DOMINATED By Koreans?

HELLO BLACK GIRL LONG HAIR LADIES! :-)

IT IS A PLEASURE TO BE A NEW MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY! :-)

I AM COMPOSING THIS POST TO OPEN A POTENTIAL DISCUSSION ABOUT HOW THE BLACK HAIR CARE INDUSTRY HAS BEEN BASICALLY "TAKEN OVER" BY OUTSIDERS, PREDOMINATELY ASIAN, KOREANS SPECIFICALLY.  IT IS A SAD AWAKENING AND REALIZATION TO KNOW THAT WHILE 99% PERCENT OF THE CONSUMER BASE OF SUCH STORES ARE "BLACK", WE REAP NONE OF THE FINANCIAL OR ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF…

Thinking about a mini big chop.

For the past two or three months my hair has been feeling a little dry than normal and it's mainly at the ends. I did a Henna treatment during the summer but now it seems like my ends are always dry and brittle so I am considering a mini big chop. I'm thinking some where around three to four inches. I am fighting with myself because that is a lot for a person with natural hair. I am so confused.
