Back to the Basics and going "Au Naturel"

Right now, im growing out my natural hair, im letting the permed and relaxed part go. 

My plan is to wear my hair without having it relaxed with chemicals. 

I have always had very soft and light hair and never been one of those girls that had to use the "super relaxer" or carry the relaxer process for long when doing a perm. 

When the relaxer is applied to my hair, i rinse and shampoo almost immediately after so my hair does not "over-relax" and become scanty.

So i believe leaving my natural hair the way Baba God created it would be easy, but will it fit me???

Thats always our fear. 

Some friends would never let their hair breath just because they feel their own hair is too scanty, makes them look ugly, or too young, or cheap, or local etc. So they keep covering it and killing it with weaves and artificial hair. If we sit and calculate how much we have spent on our hair alone, im sure some of us would have a heart attack.

Lets look at these natural hair styles first:

I think the key is being adventurous and daring when it comes to carrying your natural hair. If you leave it packed in a bun to the back always or just combed straight back it would be plain and boring.

So try these easy exciting steps and styles when you want to go au naturel with your hair:

-Treat your hair like you treat your expensive weaves, dont wash it always, cos water makes it kinkier unless thats what you are aiming for, condition, curl it, you can even set it with rollers and setting lotions.

-Dont be scared to cut it, it will always grow back, and make sure you cut at a good barber who can give the cut that fits your head and face shape

-Color color color your natural hair. It makes you look more stylish and coloring natural hair would be safer as its just one chemical process, coloring relaxed hair would be like killing your hair twice.

-Take more time with your make up when you go natural so you dont look too plain.

-Accessorize more. Dont over do it as usual, but be bold with your accessories.

-You can also use natural looking hair attachments to make your hair fuller if thats what you want.

The most exciting thing for me about going natural is that i save lots of money and i dont go through all the aches and pains of sitting for hours making fake artificial hair, at least for a while sha hahaha..............
