Something for Natural Hair

Hey Guys! My name is Whety and I’ve been a natural my entire life.

I only started taking proper care of my hair about a year ago when I started reading blogs and websites on natural hair. My hair type is a mix, so my front is 4b and back is 4c meaning that it’s prone to a lot of dryness, so moisture is my best friend.

•  I try to keep my hair in protective styles, to prevent it from breaking and to lock in the moisture. So most of the times you will see me with box braids or weaves, I also like to change my hairstyles a lot because I get bored easily. But when I do have my hair out I usually have it in twist outs or blown out, although I try to prevent heat.

•  My wash days are quite the mission. Lol. I start with pre-pooing my hair ( oil treatment applied to hair prior to shampooing or conditioning.), and what I use is Tresemme Naturals conditioner and an oil (eg.Jojoba, Tea tree, Castor) on damp hair, I let it sit for an hour under a shower cap. After this I then wash my hair with the Tresemme Shampoo and Condition it, I try to avoid using a comb and usually finger detangle my hair. When I'm done washing my hair I use a leave in conditioner and an oil to twist out my hair. I use Capicilin Cachos  as a leave in conditioner which I buy in Mozambique but I’ve also used Dr Miracles Weightless Moisturizing Cream, you can find it at Clicks, and it worked miracles on my hair. For the oil I use Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, but also Tea Tree Oil, Jojoba Oil, Castor Oil. Once my hair is twisted I let it air dry and rock the twists till I undo it and wear my very kinky curls.
  
  
  
  

 I believe that a natural hair journey can be challenging but really awesome because you are constantly learning new things about your hair. Also be patient with your hair and accept it. So many times I see a girl with 3C hair and wish it was mine, but I’ve learnt how to love my hair just as it is, kinks and all.  That’s probably one of the only ways you will see progress.

How I restored my hair.

So, the first steps I took in my hair journey where

1. Threw away the dyes.I stopped dying my hair and fell in love with my black hair. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with highlights and dying your hair, but that can damage your hair if  the wrong product is used or if u don't know how to take care of dyed hair, which leads to my next point... 
2. Deep conditioning Deep conditioning and some more deep conditioning. The best thing you can do for your hair is deep conditioning it regularly ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE DYED HAIR. Deep conditioning helps strengthen your hair. I try deep condition my hair every time I shampoo it especially when I am about to weave or braid my hair. I usually do this at home by myself. These are the products I usually use you can get them almost anywhere.
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. The next step is to always keep your scalp and hair moisturized (I struggle with this).Find a moisturizer that best suits you.I use the Olive Oil Sheen Spray.
   
4. One of the things I stopped doing was DIY (do it yourself) relaxing.I found a good salon where I get my hair relaxed.(Some people are really good at doing their own hair but its not for everyone) Oh, I use Dark and Lovely relaxer I tried Olive Oil once and it didn't work well for me. The correct way your hair should be relaxed is by only putting relaxer on your roots/growth not on the hair that's already straight. How many times should  one relax their hair a year????? 3 or 4 times a year depending on how fast your hair grows.
   
   
   
   
   
   
5. Hair Irons and Blow dryers are your enemy. Too much of anything can make you sick, too much heat will make your hair sick. I stopped over using heat. I only use my hair iron and blow dryer when I really really need to.
6. And finally we have African hair we are not white our hair needs protective styling - braids, weaves,cornrows etc those are your friends (When they are done the right way and not damaging your hairline that is.) I try not to go more than two weeks with my real hair, Remember when i said my hair broke last year it was because went about 5 weeks with my hair loose in winter. (I have learnt from my mistake hope you learn too.) I also try to not keep my hairstyles for too long braids 6-8 weeks and weaves about a month.

Yeah, I think that's about it. Oh and most of these tips apply to natural hair too, except for the relaxer one lol.

Thank you for visiting my page hope theses tips and products help you out.

Hey guys so I started this blog to let you in on my hair routine.
im basically going to start of by telling u

• what products I use and where u can buy them
• my dos and don'ts when it comes to my hair

One thing we need to always remember is everyone's hair is different and different products work for different hair types.
I will try do as much research as I can on what works on different types of hair.

XOX & Take care
