Hellooooooooooo😊😊☺️
All my beautiful and dedicated blog readers, I really want to appreciate all of you, I mean all of you
And most especially those of you that message me to tell me to post often, that you enjoy my blog posts..you guys keep me going👍👍
I would like to announce to you guys...that........*drum roll* I would be launching my YouTube channel soon, very soon. I am still waiting for a couple of things before I officially start, hopefully by this time next month I would have a video on my channel.
You can subscribe to my channel on " TheWestAfricanBeauty" . Just click on the link in my Instagram bio "@king_adeizey" and it would take you straight there. Thanks for all the support and love, I appreciate each and everyone of you.
So?? Lol
Let's discuss the topic of the day.
11 things you should know before going natural..more like 11 things I learnt from being natural because I didn't know these things when I became natural.
Just thought I should share this information with you 'goizzz' since I have been getting a lot of questions ( lol, I am already feeling important).
This list was supposed to be longer, but I was requested to do a newly natural series, so I would be adding everything in other blog posts..😊😄😃😀
Are you about to big chop? Just natural or you have been natural for a while? You could benefit from this or tell a friend to tell a sister who might just need this information,
1. Your hair doesn't grow faster once you decide to turn natural. It grows at the same length it was when you were relaxed. You probably weren't noticing or weren't caring for your hair and most likely abusing it when you were relaxed. If it grew at one inch a month, it would most likely still grow at one inch a month when you become natural.
2. Brace yourselves guys because this might hurt your feelings😩😫. Hair products don't make your hair grow any faster. It makes your hair manageable, healthy and easy to deal with. Your hair would still grow at the same rate. It just gives it a better breeding, clean, moisturized ground to ensure it grows at that rate and doesn't get stunted. So baby girls, 25 dollar conditioner doesn't ensure you 2 inches in a month. The earlier you know this, the better so you don't get turned on by those advertisements that say 4-days action...yes! They stimulate growth like I earlier explained, but baby girl no no and no they don't in any way make it grow faster.
3. There are good hair days and bad hair days. You hair would just not feel great some days for no just reason.
4. If you want the easy hair life? You should reconsider your decision to go natural. Natural hair needs love and dedication. If you were spending 30mins on your hair, you most likely would spend an hour when you become natural. Also, keep in mind that wash day can take two years depending on the condition of your hair.
5. The saddest of all, lol! Most of your allowance would be spent buying coconut oil and shea butter.
6. When you decide to be natural, not everyone you know would support you..some people would give you a million and one reasons why you shouldn't cut your hair...if and when you big chop, people might call you names (especially if you live in Africa) they would tell you how they feel hair is a pride of a woman, and cutting it is for a woman that lost her husband.
7. Your relaxed friends won't understand why egg and honey must be mixed into your hair or how natural hair drinks beer..they just won't!
8. Not every talked about product would work for you, you don't need every product talked about. That's why I keep saying YouTube is not the best place to learn everything, you just have to figure most part of it yourself from watching and listening to your hair's needs.
9. Becoming natural doesn't automatically equal healthy hair. You have to make it work. You can be natural and unhealthy and relaxed with very healthy hair.
10. Everybody's hair rate is different, some peoples hair grow faster that others. Be patient with your hair. Length checking every two days won't speed up the growth. Be patient. Be patient. Be very very patient.
11. Lastly, need to go natural for the right reasons and with the right motivation or you would end up going back to where you started from..
GOODLUCK ON YOUR HAIR JOURNEY!!
