5 Ways You’re Making Black History with Your Natural Hair
We’ve been showing up for the curls and the culture as licensed stylists + tight curl educators since 2015. Two mega viral blog articles, 1M+ views and 5,000+ email challenge signups later, we immediately knew that tight curlies + naturals were in desperate need of foundational hair care knowledge.
In honor of Black History Month—we’re here to tell you that not only are we making history helping thousands of naturals all over the world simplify their hair care routines, but you are too! Every day, you choose to show up rocking your curls in all their glory, stopping traffic and turning necks at your local grocery and department stores. You better! This blog post will explain 5 ways you’re making black history with your natural hair.
#1: You’re Turning Long Wash Days Into Wash Hour
In our corner of the Internet, we’re busy professionals, moms, dog parents, plant parents, vacationers and have things to do! Nobody has time for long, dreadful wash days.
You’re routinely cleansing, conditioning and styling with quality products every 7 to 10 days and going about your day—just in time for work, brunch, or other fun activities with family and friends.
#2: You’re Not Retwisting Your Hair Nightly
By a raise of hands, who has fallen victim to their twist outs not making it past lunch? No longer are the days of nightly retwisting, because who has time for that?
A twist out that is set properly from the very beginning using a quality product with hold can last through several work days. Want detailed tips on how to perfect your twist outs? Check out this blog post.
#3: You’re No Longer a Product Junkie
New product lines dropping regularly no longer phase you, as you’ve done away with your product junkyism. You understand that products are tools used to help you achieve your desired result and that quality formulations matter.
You stick pretty closely to the five product rule and reach for the appropriate product(s) that will provide you with the finish you’re desiring.
#4: You’re Setting An Example for Other Naturalistas
How many times have you been stopped by a stranger out somewhere and you’ve been asked questions like: “Omg, what did you use?” “Is that a twist out?” “Man, my hair could never look like that.”
Trust us, we’ve all been there. We cannot even begin to express how proud we are when we get kind messages from you all that you’ve never felt more confident rocking your natural curls. Best believe you’re setting an example for other curlfriends just like you—we’re all in this together!
#5: You’re Learning to Love & Care For the Hair that Grows Out of Your Scalp
This point we believe is the most important one. We understand that acceptance and confidence is an evolution and won’t all happen in one day or even a few weeks.
You’re learning to love and care for the hair that grows out of your own scalp—however you acknowledge some days you will look in the mirror and genuinely not like your hair because it won’t do the thing you want it to do. And that’s okay!
You’re dedicated to the journey, trust the process and are beginning to love and accept the transformed person that is evolving from it. Who would have thought?
