I’ve been natural for three years and it’s been a journey. And a not-so-easy one too, there are many things I wish I had known before embarking on this journey but it took a lot of learning and re-learning to get me this far. There are lots of content on the internet that will leave you misinformed especially when you’re new to the natural hair game. So here is my personal gift to you, a simple beginners’ guide to going natural.


Simple is the way to go
If you were looking for a long post about some complicated natural hair routine or natural hair regimen, then you’ve come to the wrong place. In fact from past experience, I can say that doing the most with your hair only impedes your hair health and growth. The simplest regimens are the best. My last-born sibling is just 5 and her hair is longer than mine (and she’s cut it twice). So we have both been natural for roughly the same number of years. But if there’s one thing I’ve learnt from her hair it’s that the simpler the better. All we do is moisturize and protect her hair and I started applying the same method to my hair too.

Step 1: Moisturize
Bantu knot out

Natural hair needs moisture, especially in our harsh weather. Dry hair is the number one cause of hair breakage, so you might think your hair is not growing but in reality it’s breaking faster than you can retain the length. The most popular technique for keeping your hair moisturized is the LOC method also known as LCO method. The L in LOC stands for liquid. Your hair needs water, water is life; so your liquid can either be water or a water-based product. You first spray water over your entire hair. Next is O, which stands for Oil; the oil is a sealant that keeps the water sealed into your hair strand, you can use coconut, olive oil or any other oil of your choice. While the final C stands for Cream; the cream helps to close the hair cuticle and keep both oil and water sealed in. You can use a leave-in conditioner for your cream, shea butter or any moisturizing natural hair cream.

Step 2: Protect


The next step is to do protective styles. The key to letting your hair grow is keeping it protected, you can leave out your afro once in a while but over-exposure to sun and harmattan really is not good for the hair. There are numerous protective natural hair styles to choose from; bantu knots, twists, finger coils, flat twists, thread and our usual African styles like all-back, etc. If you like variety, I’ll suggest doing all-back and rocking wigs, but don’t forget to keep your hair moisturized. For hair growth, low manipulation is key, instead of changing hairstyles every day or week, you can try one protective style every month, do this regularly while keeping your hair moisturized and I promise you, your hair will grow. Unfortunately, I love manipulating my hair a lot and I don’t mind the length because it’s not a competition, I just like to style my hair in different beautiful ways, you can say I’m obsessed. My point is, if you’re worried about length, keep manipulation minimal.

Natural Hair Beginners Kit
There are some things you’d need for this journey, let’s just call it a starter kit.

Satin pillowcase or bonnet – The usual cotton pillowcases are bad news for your hair and even skin. Satin silk reduces friction so using it will reduce friction, keep your hair neat and minimize tangles. It is also great for your facial skin because unlike abrasive material like cotton, wool, etc, satin doesn’t draw in moisture from your skin, it simply glides instead of pulling on your skin thereby reducing wrinkles and acne. Keep in mind that you should wash your pillowcase every few days or at least once a week to remove natural oils from your face/hair and product residue as this can clog your skin pores.
Leave-in conditioner
Deep conditioner
Spray bottle
Oil
Moisturizing Cream
Wide-tooth comb
Edge control and small brush – To get those sleek edges
Satin/silk scarf – To lay down those sleek edges, can also be used in place of bonnet or pillowcase
Hair clips, pins and accessories

Hi ladies Satan bless you all

I bind you in Jesus' mighty name!!

I have been natural for countless years, I grew it to my waist and cut it to 1 inch. Now it is 16 inches or to my armpit. The OP spelled it out in simple terms. I use a spray bottle with anything I have at the moment, olive oil, palm oil, coconut oil etc; My go-to style is top knot and twist. Proud of you my sisters, let us stop wearing others peoples hair, you don't know who and what was carrying that hair before you attached it.

Thank u so much for this trend. Being natural has been an amazing journey for me. Bye bye to relaxer and texturizer

Sammypedro18:
I honestly don't see the relevance of this thread, how it got to FP baffles me as much as a snake swallowing millions of naira

I think it's good.It is a form of bringing back the glory of African hair.Being natural is sweet.Its incomparable. Its better than buying fake hair at an exorbitant rate. I am a naturalista in my 2nd yr.My hair is long and healthy.Going natural should be encouraged.

passyhansome:
Its cheaper my dear, cutting cost

Are you sure?

Last Easter was the last time I applied relaxer. My own way is the transition without the big chop. I'm loving the undergrowth. Once my natural hair has a bit more length I will chop off the excess treated hair. I love the empowering feeling this gives overall.

nanizle:


Wow! Your hair is really beautiful!


If only more African women learn to love their natural beauty and not succumb to foreign beauty standards.

Thanks

More and more women are learning to embrace it. It just takes time and patience. Most have to relearn how to take care of it first

How do you use the palm oil? Doesn't it get too messy?

Yeeesss I know that feeling

I FEEL I LOSS A LOT OF BLOOD WHEN I LEAVE MY HAIR AFRO

Dont think I will ever go natural, my hair is very stubborn, can't comb the kinkiness out of it, gives me headache.

I have been natural for 2yrs too. My 4c hair is so annoying! Long but you won't know because it is springy

I have been on my natural hair journey for a year now,and I love my hair now that it is natural than when I treated it with relaxer.

I have made more friends who have natural hair too, they encourage and also share their hair regimen.

MrMystrO:

VampireeM:

The lady in the pic her natural hair is beautiful. I can imagine its softness. I am on natural too and is just 11months. I don't have time for special care and kitting. Using KUI Tea Tree and Cinnamon shampoo, conditioner, leave- in and moisturizer when I wash it.
My own is to plait DIDI and wear my wig and am good to go.

Pinshure of you and your didi or we donbilivit

JamaicanLove:




How? Lol

you no even they smile at all them vex you before snapping the picture ni

I'm nappy too but mine is out of necessity. I've got fine hair from my temple to my feet but not on where it matters the most: my head. So now I'm rocking my forever short hair but always on weaves . No special care anything except for conditioning when unmade...that's when I like to ran my hands through it and head to town

fifty5:

Lol.. thats just how my face. I hardly smile. Unless im very familiar with someone
