If you could tell your younger self NOW something about your natural hair THEN what would that be?

To my younger self, Chemicals are no good for the health of your hair. Your kinky/natural hair is a lot healthier and it grows just as beautiful as your straight/relaxed hair. Oh, and your natural curls are EVERYTHING!! Lol
