Happy Hair needs Love and Care: No matter what age you are

I can't believe that it has been almost a month since I have written a blog post, I have been pretty busy. but there has been an topic on my mind for sometime now and I would like to discuss it. feel free to leave your feedback in the comments section.Since I have become natural I have noticed a lot of people letting go of the creamy crack which I am sure that you have as well. It's more than a movement I feel like it's a way of life and I have seen first hand how your happiness with your own natural hair will effect those around you. When you are happy, it inspres others to be happy and to take that leap into naturalness that they may have had second thought about in the past.

We are giving insperation,tips and encourgament to people we know and a lot of times to people that we don't know. It's very moving to see. One area that I wish would catch up is how we deal with our younger genration.

A friend and I were talking and we asked each other : what age did we receive our first perm? She said 7 and I was younger, 5 maybe 4. It made me think, why is this ok? you wouldn't color a child's hair that young? so why is it ok to add chemicals in their hair to straighten it?

You're going to add WHAT to my hair?

Just as we as adults encourage an educate ourselves how to maintain our natural coils and kinks we need to encourage our young ones to do the same. Now I know that every hair type is diffrent and some may be "harder" to manage. I am here to tell you it gets easier I promise.

The first time detangling everything and twisting it in two strand twist may be hard but afterwards you can wash their hair with the twist in and take them down one at a time and redo until you get the hang of it. This way we teach our kids how to love the hair they are born with and  parents are not frustrated with the process of doing it.

I think we need to try and break the cycle, we can't tell our children that all that matters is whats on the inside and then at such a young age make them think their hair is something to be "taken care off" because it's too difficult to do. Once we encourage them to embrace what they have naturally I am sure we will have a lot of happy little one.

Natural Hair, Don't Care

HEY my Aunt has Natural hair, I think I can rock mine too!
