natural sista's

OK , Natural sista’s!! This one’s for you! You asked…

                      1/2 natural 1/2 straight? Thats when hair doesn't stay straight and the ends wont curl!



We all have choices. Whether we choose to live life with a relaxer or texturizer or go natural, it doesn’t determine who we are. It’s just how we like to see ourselves. So lets talk about those of us who choose to stick closer to our natural texture. So for those of you unsure, your hair is naturally curly. Tight or loose curls all curls need moisture! Moisture, moisture and more moisture. Moisture is our friend not humidity.



With that said, those of us with natural hair should not use detergents on it. At least not on a regular basis. Like our faces, natural hair needs fewer chemicals that dry out our natural oils. We should cleanse our hair as we cleanse our face. If you’re wearing your hair out and natural a few great cleansing products include Deva Curl No Poo (shampoo), Mixed Chicks Shampoo and Carol’s Daughter Khoret Amen Herbal Shampoo. Great Detangling and deep conditioners include Mixed Chicks Deep Conditioner and Alterna Hemp Organics Color Hold (hair that is colored also needs lots of moisture). PLEASE NOTE LADIES. ONLY COMB YOUR HAIR WHEN ITS WET AND UNDER WATER!

Now that we understand a little more about our natural hair, please now that a leave-in conditioner is the answer to some of your prayers. My personal favorites; the Mixed Chicks Leave-in Conditioner and TIGI Bed Head’s Ego Boost. All leave-in conditioners are made to leave moisture in the hair. The lighter leave-ins for the summer and the heavier in the winter. Like any heavy leave-in, you can dilute the product to work best for you.

In past post I’ve talked about ladies who chose to wear their hair relaxed and what they can do for their hair at night. Maintenance of our natural locks are just as easy and almost the same. At night, natural sisters please do use a satin bonnet or the satin pillowcases. Lock the moisture in your hair at night. In the morning try using Mixed Chicks Hair Silk or Carol’s Daughter Hair Milk.
