How to grow Natural Hair : The Easy Way

 Step-by-Step Guide to Growing Healthy Natural Hair Growing natural hair is about creating a healthy scalp, reducing breakage, and being consistent with your routine. Hair typically grows about ½ inch per month, so the goal is to retain as much length as possible. Step 1: Start with a Healthy Scalp Healthy hair begins with a healthy scalp. * Wash your scalp every 1–2 weeks. * Massage your scalp for 3–5 minutes several times a week to increase blood flow. * Treat dandruff, itchiness, or buildup promptly. * Keep your scalp clean without over-drying it.

Which do you prefer, wet/damp twisting or dry twisting?

Lil Sis at 3 months old Are you a new mother or expecting a little bundle of joy? Well then, this might be a blog post that will help you when it comes to caring for your baby. On top of all the things you have to do when caring for a baby, the process of taking care of his/her natural hair might not be on top of your list. These 3 tips below will help you with this process. Tip 1: Keep It Simple The care of your baby's natural hair does not have to be too complicated. You do not need to shampoo the baby's hair daily. When you wash your baby's hair, gently pour some lukewarm water on his/her hair, massage the water on the scalp to lift up any build up. Then proceed to using either a cleansing conditioner or sulfate-free shampoo. Personally, I do not feel that you need to do different treatments such as deep conditioning and protein treatments on a baby's hair. Tip 2: More Natural Products are Better Personally, I would not use sulfate shampoo on baby'...
