  1. Be able to actually grow an afro on your own; which means no chemicals or curlers involved or it wouldn't be natural.
  2. If you're using chemicals or tools to straighten out your hair, cease doing this so that your hair can grow out it's natural roots and have back it's natural curl. If you have extensions/weaved in hair, and such, have this also undone so that your afro can grow properly without tangle or damage.
  3. If you have any braided or plaited styles, undo them to be able to wash, condition, comb out, manage, your afro when you need to.
  4. Continue to wash and condition your hair like regularly making sure it's never left dry as the afro grows in, but that doesn't mean you have to moisturize it every minute or hour or so (that's not always convenient or necessary). Just keep it conditioned so that it's easy to manage and comb whenever you need to.
  5. Comb it out in sections when moist/conditioned, and be sure to wrap it or even braid/plait it before going to bed; this helps with keeping breakage and matting at a minimal.
  6. Understand that not everyone has the same type curl in their afro so some may be tighter than others.
