Basic Naturalistas Starter Pack and Guidelines

Lately,I have had people stop me to ask questions on how to grow, take care and keep an healthy natural hair! As much as I love to talk about natural hair, it can be annoying and inconvenient at times! Am sure we all get to answer these questions and I'm also sure, there are days you just do not have the strength to talk about it!
 Well, I decided to write a brochure that would simply answers all the questions a new naturalista would ask!

    NATURALISTAS DO'S AND DON'TS
⁃ Do not towel dry ( use an old t - shirt instead)

⁃ Let spilt ends go
⁃ Make sure your hair sleeps in a satin bonnet
⁃ Never comb your hair when dry

⁃ Wash with shampoo once a month.

       WASH DAY IN 4 HOURS
⁃ apply one of your favourite oils and leave it in for 25mins
⁃ Using your spray bottle, wet your hair, apply some shampoo,massage from root to end and then rinse out with lukewarm water.
⁃ Apply some rinse out conditioner,detangle with a wide tooth comb and rinse out with cold water.
⁃ Apply some deep conditioning pudding, cover with a shower cap and let it sit for 30mins and then rinse out.
⁃ Dry with an old t-shirt or pashmina
⁃ Apply your leave in conditioner, olive oil and Shea butter to seal.

       SOME OTHER POINTERS
⁃ to avoid dry hair, use your leave in conditioner daily
⁃ Steaming increases blood flow into the scalp which leads to increase in hair growth.
⁃ Massage your hair whenever you can,as it also stimulates hair growth.


 I hope these helps new and lost naturalistas and when next you are bombarded with natural hair questions, feel free to refer them to the blog.
