This is one of the questions I have
been asked mostly by transitioning
naturals who, like I was, at some
stage are usually frustrated and on
the verge of giving up. So how do
you get through the frustrating moments and stages in your hair
journey? Here are the things that
worked for me: I reduced the time spent doing my hair I used to spend so much time in the
bathroom doing my hair but the
results were always disastrous. The
reason that happened was because I
was still going through a learning
process. Through frustration, I decided to
reduce the amount of time I spent
doing my hair because it was not sustainable and frankly not healthy,
so I stopped obsessing over my hair.
Low and behold that was what my hair needed. It flourished the best
when it was left alone. Protective styling I started protective styling. For
instance, I would two strand twist
my hair and leave it in these twist
for the whole working week. I
learned to use bobby pins and head bands to create different styles. I
applied oil for maintenance and my
hair loved it. When I wanted my twists to have
volume and be longer, I started using kinky braids for my twists. This worked wonders because it blended
with my natural hair nicely. This was
the technique I used to grow my hair
out. Maintained balance in styling Kinky braids were a life saver, but
the downside was that when I did
not have my hair in braids I had no
idea what other styles to do besides
twists. In addition to that, I still had issues
with dryness which needed to be
ad dressed. I decided to maintain a
balanced approach and use kinky
braids only if I needed a break from
doing my hair but to wear my hair out more often. So I started creating styles which
incorporated cornrows and then bun
the rest of my hair. This worked well
for me as it allowed me to learn
more about my hair and its needs. My advice on those super frustrating
days is take the time to learn your
hair and eventually you will figure
out what works for you. When
things get bad, don a protective style
and give yourself and your hair a break for a bit, your hair will thank
you for it. hairstyle27..com/
