Afroniquely natural hair is different than every other hair kind out there. It is formed different, and reacts differently than other hair kinds to products and processes. Our texture is fabulous and we ought to embrace it!

Our hair is versatile! Don’t let anyone tell you anything different. Don’t fall short to that lie “oh you a nappy headed girl, you can’t grow your hair, you can’t style it!!” – UMM LIES! That’s a fallacy and in my humble opinion a big abomination.

Each and everyone’s hair is unique to them and them alone. In other words, don’t waste your time comparing yourself and your hair to other’s hair. They have theirs, and you have yours. It was specially made for you and you are the only person that can compliment and love it successfully – therefore wear it well!

Love your hair!! I can’t stress this enough! If you don’t love your hair, what makes you think someone else will? This principle is applicable everywhere in life. ‘If you don’t care, then why should I?’ Sounds familiar? Well yes, if you don’t love your hair, then trust me, not more than 5% of other will. When you love yourself, and when you love your hair, it shows! And that causes others to love you and your hair because of your own love affair..try it!

Don’t compromise! If you decided to do this I’m sure you did for a good reason. I’m sure you decided to go natural because you realized you can’t fit into that quota any longer. Or maybe you’ve been natural forever, and you just realized you needed a way to make your hair more fantabulous. Well, don’t compromise then. Stick to your commitment and goals that you’ve set, you will be rewarded in due time.

Patience is virtue…yes! that annoying saying is also very much applicable to your hair! If you don’t have patience, cultivate it. You need it to survive a journey, and this my friend is a journey of naturality: natural beauty, and a journey to finding who you are-naturally. It will take time to get what you want and be satisfied, but in the end isn’t it worth it?

Stop stressing! I mean, if you’re going to stress then what’s the point of wanting results (good results)? All you’ll do is make your hair fall out, your body become tired and achy and you just begin to change. Who wants that? Now a little stress is good, it keeps those kickers in our bodies going. But a lot of stress is detrimental, no one needs that!

Drink a lot of water! Water is your friend and it can be found virtually everywhere. So if you have it around, please: drink up!

Water is your friend! Yes, you’re probably thinking “didn’t she just say that?”, but this deserves two honorable mentions. Water while great for drinking, is also excellent for moisturizing your natural hair. Don’t over do it however, because you can suffer what is called “hydral fatigue”. Dampening the hair daily gives it that extra kick it needs, but make sure to seal the moisture in with a light creamy butter or your favorite oil.

Healthy Lifestyle is best! Believe it or not, this plays a vital role. You don’t eat healthy and it will show from head to toe. You will need to begin to eat healthier if you haven’t already. Get enough sleep, and exercise often. Get that blood pumping through your veins, and get your energy levels up with the boost from a nutritious diet.
