It's great that options have become limitless, no pressure to chose one hairstyle over the other. Here are couple of things to consider before you rock your natural. From the hair colour, to how to take care of your natural hair.

Colour and natural hair are a match made in heaven! Not everyone is about bright blondes and shocking reds. Some of us are all about subtle changes to our appearance. Hair colour that’s good enough to rock at school or work, without causing a fu ss. Wi th th e g l ob al movement to natural hair, Naturalistas are always looking for ways to style their newly acquired TWA (Teeny Weeny Afro) or high maintenance Fro.

DELICIOUS DARK CHOCOLATE If you are like our model Busi, and are not ready to go for a light colour, why don’t you try this subtle brown shade? To get this look, you would have to cut your hair at the hair salon. They’ll take extra care in trimming your sideburns. For the slick back look, spray on your chosen oil sheen moisturizer. It’ll smooth out your edges and add extra shine. Whatever your plans are for your natural hair, be sure to factor in a shade from their Ultra Gloss range.

HOW OFTEN TO CUT Consider that you are going to make a trip to your barber every 2 weeks. If you have short hair, you already know that it appears to grow out quickly. Regular haircuts help keep your hair strong and healthy. Short hair, especially if you want to keep your short style, needs to be cut more frequently to stay fresh.

HOW OFTEN TO WASH Wash your hair once every 1 to 2 weeks. The more often you wash your hair, the more you strip it of its moisture. This results in dry, brittle hair.You should wash your hair every 7 to 10 days, but you can get away with washing it once every 14 days.[2] This will help prevent dryness and product buildup. If you can't find a shampoo and conditioner meant for ethnic hair, try to use a moisturizing shampoo meant for dry hair. Follow up with a moisturizing conditioner. If you must wash your hair more often, dilute your shampoo with 50% water and 50% shampoo.

How to moisturise Consider using products with "organic" ingredients over products with "natural" ingredients. Organic products are strictly regulated from farming to harvesting. This means that ingredients such as avocado, coconut, and shea were grown without the use of toxic chemicals, antibiotics, and pesticides that are harmful to humans and animals. These toxic chemicals can potentially harm your hair. The term "natural" is used very loosely by corporations. An orange soda can be natural because it has an orange flavoring that once shared a compound of a fruit. High fructose corn syrup is considered "natural" just like "petrolatum.”

HOW TO KEEP HEALTHY Ÿ Put on a head-wrap over your hair before sleeping. This will help the hair maintain moisture and will prevent breakage from the hair being rubbed on a rough cotton pillow at night. Ÿ Eat a proper diet. Drinking plenty of water and eating plenty of protein and vitamins will promote hair growth. Also spritzing a little water on the hair on a daily basis will help moisturize the hair.
