Time to spend real, quality time focused on our hair health, strength and bounceability!
Time to know our hair intimately and allow it to rock in 1001 different ways
Time to find out how nature has provided all the nutrients our hair could ever need
Time to eat on purpose so that our hair pops with optimum health
Time to value our hair and know its worth on our terms
Time to be awesome naturally
So, for the next twelve months, what can you do to bring your hair to its awesome naturalness?
A few tips that have helped me:
Read ingredients on all shampoos, conditioners and treatments. If you find sulphates, parabens, 'cones' of any kinds then these should be changed to products with more natural ingredients which support healthy scalps and hair growth. Replace them gradually as you learn about new products.
Evaluate the present state of your hair so that you have an idea of what it might need and what direction you might start at on your hair journey. Is your hair dry, then you might need a moisturising regime. If your hair is weak, then including protein in your treatments would be beneficial. Start with your hair and what you know about it. You have a unique hair code which only you can unlock, so go find the key.
Research organic and natural hair products online to get a feel for what to expect, how to use them, where to buy them and what you can afford.
Decide on at least the minimum hair regime that you will use to begin this process. Will you make your own products in your kitchen lab with grocery store supplies or will you use recommended natural hair friendly products or a blend of the two. It's amazing how much our hair loves honey, mayonnaise, bananas, avocadoes, coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil and eggs!
Explore ways to keep looking awesome as you transition. What protective style will you be using? Some suggestions might include wigs, braids, twists, leave out or yarn braids. There are 1001 ways to glow naturally until you are confident to wear your hair out.
