How to Reach Your Natural Hair Goals
To achieve your natural hair goals, it goes a lot deeper than just washing your hair regularly, avoiding harsh chemicals, heat styling and a weekly deep conditioning treatment.
Be patient with yourself as move along your hair journey. It takes time, focus, and consistentcy with your hair care routine to truly see results. Adapt and build your new lifestyle to support healthy hair growth.
If you feel called to, seek advice of a professional hair stylist or consultant for personalized recommendations and to create hair care rituals that work best for your specific hair type and texture.
Here are 6 ways that you can truly have the crown of your dreams…
#1 Mindset:
This is the first step to take. Get clear on your why, your goals, and your plan of action. You can start by reflecting on your past experiences with your hair and your personal beliefs about what is possible.
Create a vision board with images of natural hair that you admire, and consume positive things such as inspirational quotes, books, and podcasts. Follow your favorite influencers and engage with the natural hair community.
For instance, when I first started my natural hair journey, I had to shift my mindset from believing that my hair was unmanageable and ugly to embracing its beauty and versatility. This change in mindset allowed me to experiment with different styles and products, and to enjoy the process of learning about my hair.
#2 Design your hair care plan:
Take the time to understand your curl type, porosity, texture, and other factors, as this knowledge will form the basis of your weekly hair care plan.
If you need help clarifying these topics, you can schedule a consultation with a professional for assistance. Additionally, you can do research online or through books to gain more knowledge about your hair.
#3 Create the perfect regimen:
Once you understand your hair type, it's time to build a regimen that will help you reach your hair goals. This means choosing the best products, tools, techniques, and maintenance that will best support your goals.
You can experiment with different products to see what works best for your hair, and consider incorporating natural ingredients such as aloe vera, coconut oil, and shea butter. Have a morning, night, and gym routine that includes protective styles, deep conditioning, and detangling.
#4 Healthy diet:
What you put into your body has an impact on your hair as well. Incorporate more healthy foods into your diet that target your specific needs. For example, if you're anemic, you may want to include iron-rich foods such as spinach, lentils, and beef.
Make sure to drink plenty of water, and even whip up some DIY hair smoothies for a delicious and nutritious snack. Aim for a balanced diet that provides you with all the nutrients you need, including protein, vitamins, and minerals.
#5 Consistency:
Without commitment to consistency, you won't see results. It's important to keep up with your hair care rituals and tweak them as necessary to make them work for you.
Track your progress and adjust your goals as you go. Create a hair journal/planner to make it easy to stay on track, and don't forget to reward yourself for all your hard work. For example, you can treat yourself to a salon visit or a new hair accessory when you reach a milestone in your journey.
#6 extra love:
Some additional tips to help you on your natural hair journey include protecting your hair at night with a silk or satin scarf or bonnet, avoiding heat styling tools as much as possible, and being gentle when detangling your hair.
Remember to be patient and kind to yourself, as your hair journey will be unique to you. If you're feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to start, consider booking a session with a licensed hair care professional who can provide guidance and support.
