I decided my scalp needs to breathe! We have all heard that quote before, but how many of us actually do it. Women and women of color especially often have their hair tied up under a weave, wig or other form of extensions for the entire year! Although protective styles are necessary to preserve ones natural hair, they can be done with ones own hair and should not be done 12 months out the year. The lack of knowledge of hair care has hindered many of us form embracing out natural tresses .Lack of learning what it takes to have manageable and healthy without covering it up. That is how this challenge was born. I was dying to take my extensions out and I feel my hair grows best when its out massaged and washed at the least, 3-4 times a week. It flourishes like a beautiful flower in the sunlight and that is why I mostly leave my natural out during the summer months. Being from the North East Coast harsh winters can be brutal on natural hair so that is why I chose August one of the hottest month of the year to let my hair "breathe". It has been amazing to wake up with the hair God gave me, no clips in, no braids , no sew ins , no glue ins JUST MY HAIR! lol You have got to try it!, it is so liberating especially if you are entering a change in your life, like a new job, moving , new relationship, a new baby, any new change will make this transition back to self, worth it. Also, if you need to make a change but nothing particularly new is happening in your life this is great way to give yourself time to connect with yourself mind, body and soul through natural hair care.
IF you want to JOIN ME.. here is what you do...
1. Eat clean! Healthy Hair Starts from within. This challenge is more than just a twist out and wash and go, because you can use the most expensive hair products or even go to a pro stylist but a poor diet will definitely affect the health of your hair in a negative way. So making a commitment to eat well will help kick start this challenge.
2. Remove all extensions from your hair. Commit to a regimen that will work for you other than weave, synthetic/human hair braids. tape ins, glue ins, sew ins or faux locks.
3. Wash you hair at least 3x a week or more . I wash my hair about 5 times a week. Your regimen should consist of a multivitamin. hair oil, clarifying/hydrating shampoo, moisture retention conditioner and a deep conditioner.
4. Get plenty of rest. Sleep is the best makeup product you can ever apply to your skin care/hair care routine. It helps to recharge your body, heal and restore you body and it helps to speed up the removal of dead skin cells on you skin and scalp which will help your hair grow healthy.
5. Water, Water, Sun,Sun. Make sure to drink tons of water to keep your flower flourishing. Get out and just take in the sun your hair loves the vitamin D and it will help to nourish your scalp.
