Hi there!

Newly Natural? No problem! Here’s a page dedicated to just that, the newly natural, the beginner. A list of the important things you need to know and practice are found below, so take the time to just read through.

Also there are tons of links below the important things, with everything you’ll need to know.

  1. Afroniquely Natural hair is different than every other hair kind. It is formed different and reacts differently than other hair kinds to products and processes.
  2. Our hair is versatile! Don’t let anyone tell you anything different. Don’t fall short to that lie “oh you a nappy headed girl, you can’t grow your hair, you can’t style it” That’s a fallacy and in my opinion a big abomination..lol
  3. Each and everyone’s hair is unique to them and them alone. In other words, don’t compare yourself and your hair to other’s hair. They have theirs and you have yours. It was specially made for you and you are the only person that can compliment it successfully.
  4. Love your hair!! I can’t stress this enough! If you don’t love your hair what makes you think others will? This principle is applicable everywhere in life..If you don’t care, why should I?…sounds familiar? Well yes, if you don’t love it, trust me not more than 5% of others will…When you love yourself, and when you love your hair it shows..and that causes others to love you and your hair because of your own love..Try it!
  5. Don’t compromise! If you decided to do this I’m sure you did for a good reason. I’m sure you decided to go natural because you realized you can’t fit into that quota any longer. Or maybe you’ve been natural forever, and you just realized you needed a way to make your hair more fantabulous. Well then don’t compromise, stick to your commitment and goals that you’ve set, you will be rewarded in due time.
  6. Patience is virtue…yes that annoying saying is also applicable here. If you don’t have patience, cultivate it! You need it to survive a journey, and this my friends is a journey of nappturality, nappturous beauty, a journey of finding you-naturally. It will take time to get what you want, and be satisfied, but in the end isn’t it worth it?
  7. STOP stressing! I mean, if you’re going to stress then what’s the point of wanting results (good results)? All you’ll do is make your hair fall out, your body become tired and achy and you just begin to change…who wants that? Now a little stress is good, it keeps those kickers in our bodies going. But a lot of stress is detrimental, no one needs that.
  8. Drink a lot of water..water is your friend and can be found virtually almost everywhere..so if you have it around you..drink up!
  9. Water is your friend! Ha I know you’re thinking didn’t she just say that? But this deserves two spots on this list…Water for wetting your hair is also great..Don’t over do it, but damping the hair daily gives it that extra kick it needs.
  10. Healthy lifestyle…Believe it or not this plays a vital role. You don’t eat healthy and it will show from head to toe. You need to begin to eat healthy if you haven’t already. Get enough sleep and exercise..Get that blood pumping through your veins, get your energy levels up with the boost from a nutritious diet.
