We've all heard it before, and most people feel the same way; natural hair care seems so difficult. What if I told you that if you focus on just a few simple areas of your natural hair care routine you could make it easier? Would you be interested? Great! Today I have 5 ways you can start simplifying your natural hair care routine!
Tip #1 - Prioritize Moisture
The way our hair relates to moisture has everything to do with the structure of our hair strands. The natural sebum (oil) that provides our hair with natural moisture often has difficulty traveling to the ends of curlier hair because of its delicate bends and curves. This leaves curly strands prone to dryness and breakage. How much moisture your hair needs depends on its porosity.
Tip #2 - Sectioning
Working with your natural hair in sections is by far one of the easiest ways to reduce frustration when washing and styling your curls. The longer and thicker your natural hair is the more sections you may need to use to ensure you're reducing tangles and applying products evenly when washing and styling.
“understand the importance of detangling in sections”. “That’s huge for textured hair.- Janet Jackson (award-winning hairstylist & beauty expert)
Tip #3 - What's Working
When you have a routine that works and you understand which product ingredients complement your hair it's best to stick with it. So often we forget what was working well and decide to try to move on from what's working. Exploring new products and techniques and discovering what your hair likes best is always encouraged however, you want to avoid “product hopping.” I suggest sticking with a new product or routine for at least 6 to 8 weeks to see if it's a good fit for your hair routine and allow you to easily track hair regimen improvements.
Tip #4 - Be Open
We can all agree that natural hair care isn't always easy but can also be rewarding. The ability to be open to what your natural hair needs and adjust your routine accordingly is vital. Every hair type has different needs, and many factors are constantly at play. So, when it comes to what works and what doesn't work, stay flexible, and open to the trial-and-error nature of natural hair care.
Tip #5 - Giving Credit
Success in life as well as your hair is all about perception. Taking the time to recognize the small wins and successes in your hair routine, it will make caring for your curls more enjoyable and propel you toward staying consistent. One effortless way to create a positive mindset towards your natural hair and how you care for it is with natural hair affirmations. Natural hair affirmations are a fantastic way to start your day and sustain a positive mindset in your natural hair journey.
