Reasons Why People Fail in Their Transition to Natural Hair

Written By Bold Apps - December 18 2014

Posted by HMH Blogger By Patience Muia For most people transition to natural hair is not an easy process. Some have two trials before success, while others have up to eleven trials to finally embrace the new hairstyle. From experience, I have realized that it is usual to find people struggling with natural hair especially in the early stages. Here are some reasons why transition may be difficult and regarding how to handle such difficulties. • You are not comfortable with the reflection in the mirror Some people were lucky enough to grow up with natural hair and therefore they have no problem seeing themselves with natural hair. If you were relaxed at a young age, it is obvious that you are used to the image of straight hair. If you were used to relaxed hair, you might find it difficult dealing with the idea of embracing natural hair as it appears to be a relapse to childhood. If you need a smooth transition, you have to spend time looking yourself in the mirror so that you can learn to embrace your new hairstyle. Accepting that new image might take seconds for some while others might end up struggling with it for years. • Negative Feedback from Family and Friends

You should learn to deal with people who keep on telling you how your hair look like especially if the comments are negative. It is your hair and therefore you should be proud of it. It is always your choice to select your reaction to negative comments, and there are different ways of dealing with such people. You might decide to ignore them or simply educate them. Educating the person is the best option especially if the person is a close friend or family member. • Lack of Proper Research

Information about natural hair is available on many blogs, vlogs and forums. It is not always a good idea to stick to some small set of information, and emulating someone else’s routine might make natural hair transition totally difficult.

White People Also Have Natural Hair

Natural hair movement has done great transformation to the beauty industry. More and more celebrities and public figures are going natural but there is a question left in the mind of many with little or no answers at all. Is natural hair only a thing for the black or is it an everyone’s thing?

 The big problem with white women is that they fail to accept the nature of their hair because it is mainly thick, voluminous and curly but if only they could take time and learn how to take care of their hair as it is, accept it and lookfor techniques on how to take care of it. Whites should try to have self-esteemand not to be shy. Beauty comes from inside. Natural hair is freeing and makes people feel unique.   Love your hair whether people think you look good or bad in it. Natural hair is not for the whites or blacks; it is all about love and acceptance. Instead of wasting time looking at the differences of white or black hair, let us get busy looking at the picture as a whole. After all it is all hair whether white or black. Today so many white women have joined team natural and embraced their natural curly hair in love of their curls with all the confidence on earth. The trick is only to learn how to deal with the texture of their hair. The society feels that natural hair is unkempt, uncute, and unprofessional and unideal but this is all wrong. Others think that it is racial especially with blacks who link their natural hair with political related issues.  White women trying to embrace their natural hair need a lot of support because they grow up in a society where hair care costs everyone a lot of time, energy and money.
