Your HAIR and YOU BY FEMI ADEYEMO
Regardless of how you feel, you must be proud of your hair. You must begin the journey of starting a relationship with your hair. Your natural kinky hair can be a gem but can also be a challenge, depending on if you know how to take care of it. Here are some healthy and handy tips to maintain the natural beauty of your hair.
Find out your hair type. For example, are you Type 4c or Type 3b? You can find out more about your hair type on Youtube. Figure out your hair porosity. This is how easily your hair absorbs nutrients. To determine your hair porosity, you need to do a float test. Take a couple of strands of your hair from a comb or brush and drop them into a bowl of water. Let them sit for 2-4 minutes. If your hair floats, you have low porosity. If it sinks, you have high porosity. Find hair products that match your hair type and porosity. Find and follow other people with the same hair type as you. Nurturing your hair can be a community thing.
Find your community on Tiktok, Youtube or Instagram. If needed, make natural hair remedies that serve different purposes for helping you and your hair during your hair care. The best oil remedy depends on the problems you are having. Protective styling - don’t keep your hair out all year round, protect it by braiding or twisting your hair. It is healthy to drink water because it is healthy for your hair as well. Wet hair is easier to comb and style. Lastly, have fun with your “hair affair” as a healthy hair journey can take your whole life to manage. There is plenty of time to make mistakes. So enjoy it in style!
