Styling Natural Hair

[Tropicana]

So you have no problem shooting a video promoting hair relaxing services and modelling in it but you have a problem with women relaxing their hair and you are always on MY case about it? Sounds inconsistent.

Great video btw and nice for your portfolio but I am sure you get my point.

What has church got to do with promoting hair relaxing services?

[Emperah]

a whole heap actually

but it is more of de support ting still.

Hey I am not going to wrong you for supporting family but just as you do what you have to do to support your family, I do what I have to do to provide for my family and if it means having a style that is flexible enough to give people what dem want to get certain jobs...so be it.

I hope the day will come when how a Black woman wears her hair does not have an impact on her livelihood.

See what I mean....this lady is Jamaican and she has an excellent website with natural hair tips. I am learning a lot. but I don't think a style like this would fly with corporate clients.

Plus my hair has more kink than hers so would not be manageable at that length if I just leave it lose. Can you spell m-a-j-o-r t-a-n-g-l-e-s and k-n-o-t-s.

I have about 3 - 4 inches to go before it is that long.

Man that's a LOT of hair.


Seem to remember saying that to somebody.

I could never wear it lose like that at that length but if the top and sides were cornrowed, it would look great.

This is the technique my hairdresser said is damaging but I have not have feedback from anyone else about that. Hard to believe it would be more damaging than chemicals.

Anyone?

3 Tips for Styling 4C Natural Hair with Pics

It’s a common misconception that 4c hair has limited styling options. The truth is 4c hair is just as versatile as any other natural hair texture. There are tons of styling options to choose from. In fact there are so many styles that you probably won’t get the chance to even try half of them in your lifetime.

So, Wash n Go’s Are Not Always the Best Idea

I think because looser curls rather than kinks are flaunted more often many women go natural with the thought that they can achieve defined curls by doing a simple wash n go and when they find out that they can’t they label their hair as unmanageable or challenging. When this isn’t so, it is simply just a different type of hair.

You Don’t Have to Wear Protective Styles 24/7

Another reason why many jump to the conclusion that 4c hair has limited styles is because protective styling is used as a means for length retention. It is true that it will be easier to retain length when you don’t wear your hair out as often. But so what?
Who says that protective styles can’t be creative? There are plenty of protective styles that look fabulous. Also keep in mind when you’re bored you can always change your hair up with low manipulation styles (roller sets, twist outs, braid outs, bantu knot outs etc.)
Embrace Those Kinks!

All natural textures are equally beautiful. What matters is having healthy hair. In order to have a good journey you have to accept and love your hair for what it is. Each hair type requires different care and treatment, and you have to do what works for your hair.
When the focus is taken off of what your hair can’t do and how it can’t be handled; you will find that there is a whole variety of styling options available for you to try.
