How To Go Natural
Because the process of going natural is a fairly lengthy topic, we cannot devote the space here to the task, however, there are many good books on the subject listed in OurHair Products section.
Now That It's Natural?
There are five things you should keep in mind when dealing with natural, kinky, nappy super curly hair:
- What we traditionally have called nappy hair is just super curly hair, with tight, spring like coils. The coils can vary in size, texture, density and width. When they clump together, they can appear as ringlets. When they separate, as during combing, they frizz into the look we have all come to associate as being nappy.
- Caring for your hair properly means creating a regular hair care routine to counteract dryness, which can contribute to breakage.
- Remember that moisture is your friend. Water is the best moisturizer around.
- Treat hair as a type of fiber, and handle it as such. You would not subject silk fabric to extreme heat or rough handling therefore you should be just as gentle with your hair.
- Find a style, or set of styles that work with your natural texture and not against it. Kinky, curly, nappy, super curly hair is exceedingly beautiful and can be molded into many shapes and forms.
