Curly Hair

Thou Shall...

Be patient with your hair and your journey

Going natural is not for the trendy. It is a lifestyle change that requires commitment and patience. Your hair is learning how to be natural and it takes time for you and your hair to figure out what the two of you are doing! Understand the process will be different for everyone and that your journey is a personal one that should be appreciated and nurtured.

Love your hair

It’s yours and it's unique. Love your hair and it will respond by being healthy

Not skip on protein treatments or deep treatments

You need both of them and you need a deep conditioning during every wash. They are important for the strength and the moisture of your hair. Protein treatments can be used monthly or less, but neglecting either will not go over very well with your tresses. Listen to your hair because it will tell you which one it's missing.

Not Be rough with your tresses

During detangling, washing, and the styling process we need to be gently. Being rough will leave you with more hair in our shower and sink than on our heads. Allow conditioner and carrier oils to aid in washing and styling, as they can make the process easier and smoother.

Love your natural hair

It’s yours and it's unique. Love your hair and it will respond by being healthy and happy. It’s a part of you so why wouldn’t you love it?

Thou Shall Not...

Use mineral oil in your hair

Most of us should already know how bad this is for our tresses. It weighs down your hair, robs the skin of vitamins, causes acne, and it is contaminated with carcinogens. It’s just not a good thing to mix with natural hair so don’t use it. I have since stopped using it on my overall body in replace for natural oils for my skin.

Think there are natural relaxers

They do not exist no matter what you hear! To permanently alter the texture of your hair you need chemicals, and the chemicals needed for that process will not be natural. Not only are the chemicals that relax your hair not natural, but they actually weaken the hair and are harsh on your scalp.
