10 NATURAL HAIR TIPS FOR HEALTHY HAIR

July 6, 2024 28 Comments

Let’s talk about hair

Everyone wishes for long, silky, shiny hair but with natural hair, I aim mostly for health. I admit that I never really cared about taking care of my hair since I was used to braiding it all year round and not thinking much about it but after sometime, my hair texture changed and it became thin, brittle, full of split ends and just looked a mess until I decided to start taking care of it the right way and what suits me. These are 10 natural hair tips for healthy hair that have helped me with my 4c hair and still try to follow most of the time.

When it comes to natural hair, don’t lie to yourself and think that just because another person has natural hair, that you both have the same and that you should follow the same regimen, because everyone’s hair type is different and accepts different products and maintenance.

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are all having a good day and had a great start of the week. I decided to embark on a water fast and don’t even know what made me do such a thing, I haven’t cheated or fainted yet so let’s hope I make it through. Anyway since I was thinking of doing my hair this week, it made me realise how my routine has changed. If you read my post here on how to have healthy natural hair then you know what it takes. Since then, my hair has gone through a lot from pregnancy to colour damage to lots of unnecessary trims.

August 28, 2017 5 Comments

Hello Everyone,

I hope that you all had a lovely weekend and are ready to rinse and repeat. Last week was all over the place for me, my son is starting school and I’m happy for him and nervous at the same time too. So since it’s going to be school errands every single day, I really don’t have the energy to be making my hair every single day and that’s where my protective styles come in and rescue my life for a month or two. Natural hair is not a joke and the struggle is real, so giving my hair a rest from all the twist outs and flat twists is necessary. I know there are various kinds of hairstyles out there but these are my go to protective hairstyles for natural hair.

MY CURRENT NATURAL HAIR PRODUCTS

April 18, 2017 4 Comments

Hello everyone, I hope that your long weekend went well and are now ready for another week. We all know that women in general like looking good and our hair is a big part of our image. I have natural hair and I try to take care of it as much as I can from my washing routines, deep conditioning, moisturising and protective styling. All that always relies on having hair products that are staples and work well to achieve healthy hair. Natural hair is no easy job I tell you, from having routines and schedules to take care of it, only the right products can help make your life easier. These are my current natural hair products.

1.SHAMPOO

I am not going to bore you by saying too much here, I usually shampoo my scalp most of the time but if my hair has too much build up, then I also do the rest of the hair. For my shampoo, I use the Shea Moisture Jamaican black castor oil shampoo which I had put on my current January favourites here, but I had to use it a couple of times to see whether I love it or not and I must say it is a keeper. It cleanses perfectly and leaves your feeling clean but not squeaky clean which I hate the feeling of.
