I hope things are going great for you guys!
The next few blog posts will be directed towards the newly naturals (are there anymore "newbies"?). A lot of women who decide to become natural (removing relaxed hair, and starting anew w/o chemicals), become overwhelmed with the information given on how to tend to their hair.
It is for great reason too: 12 million YouTube gurus, 37k+ blog posts about hair styles, product reviews, etc., what's a person to do??????
Alright.
Stop! And start with the basics (I used this when I was a natural newbie).
- Find a hair crush!
- It gives you a visible hair goal. It doesn't have to be EXACTLY the same, but use it as a starting point (MsKrisNew and MahoganyCurls were my hair crush).
- What goal are you looking to achieve with your hair BESIDES hair length?
- It could be the best twist out, more softer hair, etc (My goal was and still is to have moisturized hair).
- What product do you need to achieve your hair goal?
- If your goal was for the best twist out, find a product that aids in styling; if the goal was for moisture, find the appropriate products. This is where you can incorporate social media knowledge/reviews, or even your local professional hair stylist.
- TRY OUT SAMPLE SIZES FIRST! I cannot stress this enough! You're still experimenting, and figuring out your hair so you try to save some money in doing so. Plus many companies are starting to make sample sizes if you're still unsure about their product. Use this to your advantage!!
- Take pictures!
- It's pretty neat to see the progression of your hair. It will feel like you hair is not growing, but trust me. It is.
- Be patient and....GO FOR IT!
- As a person who decided to chop off all of her hair instead of transitioning to becoming natural....I am going to tell you to CUUUUUTTTTTT ITTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!
- There's really no explanation except to strive to meet your hair goal...PATIENTLY! lol
Hopefully this helps you guys!
Talk to you soon,
Brie.
