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!

Calgarians make up .02% of the nearly 8 billion people on earth. We are outnumbered by identical twins, redheads and people born on a leap day.

This seemingly vast city of ours is but a blip on the face of the earth.

That’s why our shared geography is such a wondrous thing. All 1.28 million of us may not share views, but we share a home. We may not look, think or sound the same — but we are profoundly connected.

We’re all connected.

Our work is to strengthen, support, and foster those connections. Last year, $66.9 million was granted to 1,105 charitable organizations in every corner of our city, to support causes as myriad as our citizens — from large organizations to lending libraries.

As that funding spreads across the city, our hope is that it brings something else with it — an idea. The idea that we’re more connected than we know.

So, maybe the next time you pass someone on the street you won’t see a stranger.

You’ll see someone who belongs to the same .02% as you.

And the next time you see Calgary Foundation, you’ll see your foundation. Calgary’s Foundation.
