Posted by HMH Blogger By Patience Muia The society may create a notion in our minds that products for your natural hair are rare, expensive or hard to find, but do not allow yourself to be deceived! After reading through this article you will realise how easy it is. Coconut oil

With this one, I would like to say that it is an excellent natural way to make your hair radiant and healthy. Besides it also soothes the scalp. Coconut oil moisturizes your hair and can be used by a wide range of hair textures. It’s antifungal, antiviral and antibacterial oil. It prevents protein loss from hair hence ensuring that the hair strands remain strong and healthy. Jojoba oil

This is pure oil whose molecular structure is same as that of sebum. Sebum is the oil naturally produced by the skin. Jojoba oil is very rich in nutrients and is lovely when used in your hair. It is one of the ingredients in Hug My Hair's Multi-seed Hair Oil. Benefits of using jojoba oil with your natural hair ·        It reduces hygral fatigue because it hydrates the hair. ·        It thickens thinning hair ·        It treats your scalp and has antibacterial properties. ·        It increases hair softness, elasticity and make it shine. ·        It does not alter the scalp’s natural balance. ·        It’s light and non-greasy, more so it speeds up hair growth. ·        Jojoba oil plays a great role in repairing damaged hair. Olive oil  Olive oil strengthens and increases the elasticity of your hair. It also conditions and nourishes one’s hair.  Shea butter

  Benefits of using Shea butter It is a great hair sealant, when used on damp hair It softens your hair For those who have curly/afro hair then this is a must have product for you Shea butter may not give the best results when used alone but when co-used with coconut and olive oil, it gives excellent results. Castor oil

Benefits of using castoroil
  • It promotes hair growth if used persistently

White People Also Have Natural Hair

Written By Bold Apps - July 17 2014

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.

Natural Hair Debate

Written By Bold Apps - July 10 2014

Posted by HMH Blogger

By Patience Muia

The number of women opting to abandon chemicals and enjoy the freedom natural hair offers them is increasing fast. This has brought strong sisterhood within the hair community and divisions between those people with natural hair and those with relaxed hair.  Some people believe that natural hair refers to texture alone and has nothing to do with colour or length. People in this category consider weaves, straightening hair with hot comba and weaves as natural. Another category of people argue that natural hair is the original texture of your hair and therefore wigs, weaves and colour are unacceptable.

 

Others believe that black women should keep their hair natural in memory of the colonial rule as afros and dreadlocks were associated with military in that era. These people feel that keeping black women’s hair natural shows that they embrace political elements and reject European’s standards of beauty.

Other debates have come up like on the usefulness of hair and the purpose naturalhair serves. Some people feel that there is more to hair than just mere texture and curl pattern. Hair typing misguides women on hair care because they emphasize on one curl texture over another. Due to the fact that your hair looks like another does not mean that it will respond to products in a similar manner as the other. What do you think?

In It's Natural State

Written By Bold Apps - July 03 2014

Posted by HMH Blogger By Patience Muia Although many women prefer straightened hair, there have been a movement encouraging people to keep their hair natural. This has however been restricted by lack of information among women hence making them prefer relaxed hair. People withnatural hair opt to rely on strengtheners and relaxers to make them look acceptable and neat.

Natural hair is not versatile. Some of us think that natural hair has to be in afro state but there are so many natural hairstyles one can wear for example; two strand twists, Bantu knots, braids, cornrows, flat twists, coils, and locs.With short hair, versatility is somehow limited but as it grows longer you can enjoy trying out new styles.   Some white people think that the texture of natural hair symbolises the inferiority of black people. Natural hair in the society is mistaken to be dirty, unkempt and unattractive. It is now very clear that natural hair has gone mainstream. There are some myths that discourage women from going natural like; Natural hair does not grow This is a misconception because with proper care our hair can grow very long regardless of texture. Natural hair is expensive This is false. Only people with certain hair texture can go natural This has not even the slightest truth in it. I am sure that when a person goes natural he/she can never go back to the stresses of relaxers. Although natural hair needs a lot of patience, I love the versatility it has. With natural hair you can you can do things you could not do with relaxed hair. There are so many women in the red carpet wearing natural hair. Natural hair is not a trend.
