Naturally Me...the Way God Intended

You are not alone...

When you go natural, you don’t have to go through the process all by your lonesome.  I’ve talked with many ladies about natural hair over the past few years and I think that many people have forgotten a very important component of hair care…the stylist! 

I think this is why so many ladies give in and end up relaxing their hair.  A hair stylist can help you while you transition into you naturalness and can also recommend products and styles for you.  A great stylist can help you through those insecure and unsure times that can come during the early stages of going/being natural.

Ok...so, what is the very first step to take if I just had a perm 3 wks ago? Also, I have dandruff very bad and I'm just afraid of getting braids for long periods of time. Is there a product for dandruff when I go natural?

If you’re only three weeks in, I first suggest that you be patient and don’t give up.  You can keep doing what you are doing to your hair now.  When it’s time to get it done again (when you can’t handle it anymore yourself), go to a stylist for a style that will last and be little maintenance. 

I also have dry scalp, so my stylist gave me tips on how to keep it moisturized and prevent flaking.  There are many other styles that you can get besides braids that will allow your hair to grow and last at the same time.

its been 4 mths since Ive had a perm, and i dont know what to do with my hair? Any suggestios?

Go to a natural hair stylist and let them show you how much natural hair or “new growth” you have.   Then you can decide whether you should keep growing your hair out or if you’re ready to start cutting the relaxed hair.

If you decide to keep growing your hair, a transition style would be best so you can allow your hair to grow without having to deal with the two textures.  I hope this helps.

i havent had a perm in 4 months and i wus wondering where do i go from here?

I suggest you go to a natural stylist and let them show you how much natural hair you have compared to relaxed hair.  When you will get your relaxed hair cut off will be depend on how long you want your natural hair to be and what you are comfortable with as far as length is concerned.  A stylist will also be able to recommend what to do next based on your current hair situation.  I hope this helps and keep me posted!

how do i get started?

Well that depends on what stage you are in with becoming natural.  It is best that you avoid wearing your hair in a style that will be high maintenance.  Transitions syles such as straw sets, twists and sew-ins are good because they let your hair grow without having to manage the two textures, relaxed and natural.

I hope this helps and thanks for asking.

Don't be scared...

The thought of going natural is absolutely horrifying to some people for one simple reason…they’re scared of what they’ve got.  Some of us got our first relaxer at such an early age that we barely remember what we are working with.  When you think about it, Mama might not remember herself what her baby is working with!

I will be the first to admit, I was guilty of this.  I wasn’t sure what the end result would be.  I debated about going natural for about three years before finally making the decision in January 2008.  Since then, I’ve never turned back.  

Going natural is a tough decision and the thought of transitioning again puts me on edge.  It’s a very trying time and very emotional, but the end result is beautiful because it’s what God gave you.  

You might love the end result and on the other hand, you might not.  But if you don’t try it for yourself, will you ever know?

Finally making it happen..

Well, I’ve finally done it.  I’ve pondered the thought of creating my own blog for months and now the day has come.  I love being natural and I commend those who have or are choosing to embrace their naturality as well.  

Feel free to hit me up and let me know your thoughts and what you’d like to see.

Peace and blessings,

Ash
