Natural Hair Tips & Guide

Calling all Black girls! Calling all Black women! You no longer have to conceal your glory under wigs and weaves or mutilate it with creamy crack! Calling all Black women! Calling all Black girls! Free yourself from the blot that says our hair isn't as manageable, versatile or amazing as anyone else's!


Sistas, take off those wigs and cut out that weave. Throw out the creamy crack (perm) and put down the flat iron! The science for natural African hair care is upon us and in full affect. Unlike the not too distant past, the knowledge and information concerning the maintenance, care and upkeep for natural hair is everywhere, actually , many natural African hair care lines have gone commercial. We now have no reason for concealing under wigs and weaves, because we don't "know how to manage our hair" or worse, we believe "other" hair textures are more beautiful than our own.


The notion that Black hair does not grow or that its unmanageable is a fallacy. Allowed, there's no faster hair care than just throwing a wig on, but where's the pride in that? Why do we would like to continue to declare to the entire world that we do not believe we look great unless we are wearing the White woman look? If we continue to buy into what the world thinks of us afterward we'll continue to pass on the legacy of self hatred to our future generations, its as simple as that.


Allowed, fake hair is not the only indication of self hatred in the Black community, but it is certainly a powerful example. We have been protesting and marching for damn near 100 years for the world to allow us equal footing in all aspects of life, is not it time we attribute the same equity to the hair that grows out of our head?


Truth be told, transitioning from chemically treated hair, wigs and weaves is the largest measure. My advice would be to first get educated. There are hundreds, perhaps thousands of YouTube videos of sistas demo natural African hair care. In addition, there are many excellent sites and web logs like CurlyNikki that are the very best guides you could ask for on natural attention.


The second step would be to just stop creamy crackin' (perming)! Let your new growth come in. Some sistas determine to go all in and BC (Big Chop) their permed hair immediately and rock a TWA (Teeny Weeny Afro). Others would choose to have more span before they cut off their perm and keep wearing a wig or weave. Just make certain your beautician doesn't pull the thread too tight and keep a weekly deep conditioning regiment. Its also good to transition with braids. Simple box braid designs are simple to look after and enable you to maintain a professional look at work. Again, however, should you use synthetic hair, make sure its not braided overly tight, deep state often and don't keep them in longer than one month.



Natural African hair care is actually fairly straight forward, moisturize, moisturize and moisturize. Although there are many retail products out there, we can actually take care of our hair pretty well with everyday family items or things we might find in the kitchen. My hair loves coconut and olive oil and shows beautiful, soft and shiny curls from a two-strand braid out. If you beloved this article and you also would like to acquire more info about hair braids styles generously visit the web site. Many natural African hair conditioning approaches comprise other home things like, avocado, castor oil, Shea butter or honey. Add one leave in conditioner and you'll be able to make your own deep conditioning regiment.


One very crucial thing to keep in mind as you're becoming the natural you, keep the heat to a really low minimum. If you would like to wear a blow out, make sure that you only do it once a month and that may even be a bit much. As well, dust (trim) your hair RELIGIOUSLY every eight weeks. The word here is dust, do not give yourself a haircut, simply trim enough away to get most of your crunchy ends.


In order for the world to respect us, we must first love and respect ourselves, as we are. Yes, YOU ARE YOUR HAIR! We are Black women. Ourselves are our color, our lips and our hips! If ourselves were not we'd be someone else. It's all up to ourselves to conquer that fear and stigma, no one else can do it for us. If ourselves do not quit wearing the blot, then the blot stays.


This really is my first website on natural African hair care and there is much more to come. You do not have to go it alone, there is so much information on the Internet, in the blogosphere and in the community, myself do not understand why every sista isn't natural. Black hair is wonderful and Black women are beautiful when we wear our hair naturally. Now go 'head and Grow Your Natural!
