How to go natural.

When it comes to hair we need to take good care of them.a few weeks ago i did a blog entry on how to keep you hair healthy. Today I will give you guys a few tips on a different way o keeping your hair healthy and it's  going natural. The first thing is to refrain from using lots of heat, harsh chemicals such as relaxers and perms.
When people think "natural hair" they think curly wavy or an Afro. this is very true you can also style your natural hair just as much as you can style a relaxed hair.

How do I get started?

• Cutting all your hair and getting a fresh new growth helps. this can be a slow or fast process because sometimes your hair doesn't grow back or fast enough. If you are not emotionally attached to your hair this might be the route to go. However i don't recommend.

trim your hair at least every 6 weeks

• If you are not down with cutting your locks trimming works. trimming off your relaxed ends at least every 6 weeks helps. This will not only keep it healthy but it will give it a body and volume. This is the stage that you need to stay away from  chemicals so deep conditions and less heat will be the best tools to maintain your locks.

get your hair braided in cornrows or box braids.

• If you think this is a little too much to keep up with there are other solutions. wear wigs, extensions and weaves/saw ins or braids . This is by far the easiest no heat on you hair and manageable. The good thing about them is that they come in every style and length and getting an expert to do is the best idea.

These are my few tips because I've been practising them for a while and I love it. I hope you guys find it helpful and share your tips on going natural.
