The Healthy Hair Journey Encouragement....

So I am part of a group called Zedian Natural which is really a great support group for other Zambian naturals (All are welcome really). Its there to encourage and provide resources to make the journey easier. Unfortunately some of the member seem to be a bit overwhelmed and feel a bit left out. This is usually the case when you are new and just starting out, but here is my word of encouragement, and it can go to anyone who just made a decision to have healthier hair...

Information can be overwhelming especially if you have been doing something a certain way all your life. If “that way” worked, a lot of us wouldn't be complaining about things like dryness, breakage, thin edges, dandruff etc….Here are a few tips to help you as you start your healthy Hair journey :

• Accept your hair as it grows from your head – No two heads are the same

• Figure out what your hair needs and set a hair goal - Build a regimen and stick with it…..

• Decide what products will work best for your hair - products can help with things like moisture, sealing, clarifying, styling etc…….

• Don’t neglect TLC - products can do so much, but if your technique is harmful on you hair you could be sending yourself 1 s

tep forward and 2 steps back

• Research can save you the trouble of trial and error - Information on natural hair care is now readily available  We now know better products, techniques, styles that can help us achieve healthy hair 

• Never compare - what works for you may or may not work for me. Listen to your hair and its needs…

This is really preaching to myself, but I thought I would share it....
