Are you transitioning? Avoid these mistakes

Deciding to go natural is a huge step in your natural hair journey. Congratulations for coming this far. One of the ways of becoming natural is transitioning which in effect is growing out your natural hair without relaxing and cutting off the relaxed hair bit by bit.

Taking Care of Your Edges
Posted by Main Admin on
Tight braids, twists and styles that generally pull so hard on your edges is the major cause of thin edges. Using too many styling tools such as hair glues on your edges also causes it to thin over time. If care isn't taken, you develop a condition known as traction alopecia which becomes very difficult to grow back but not impossible.

Let's Talk About Natural Hair Shrinkage
Posted by Main Admin on
Interestingly, our hair shrinks when it loses moisture. To an extent shrinkage is more of an alarm blower to let us know it's time to hydrate our hair. It also aids us in identifying our hair porosity or how well our hair retains moisture. So shrinkage isn't such a bad thing afterall.

Hair breakage - What are you doing wrong?
Posted by Main Admin on
Yes we know you want to see how long your hair is. There are other ways of doing that without 'burning' your hair away. Try using African threading or banding instead of constantly applying the hot iron or curler. If you must absolutely do this, then please use a heat protectant. Don't leave any chances.
