  • 15 negative things people said about my natural hair

    Hey guys, how are you all doing? I want to share some of the worst things people have said to me about my hair. I think most of us naturalistas have also heard the good, the bad and ugly things concerning our hair from friends, colleagues, coworkers, family etc especially when we just started out.

    I believe going or keeping natural hair should be your own decision and what others say or think about it shouldn’t bother you. I didn’t allow myself to be discouraged by the negative statements but it just made me dogmatic about my hair.

    1. If I were your boyfriend, I would have broken up with you because of your hair.
    2. I will buy a chemical relaxer for you, I think you can’t afford one.
    3. You will soon get tired of your natural hair.
    4. Your hair looks too untidy (because is not slicked down like relaxed hair)
    5. Those hairstyles (referring to bantu knots out, twist outs etc) you see online are sew in weaves, your hair can never be like that.
    6. Your hair won’t grow.
    7. Don’t you have money to go the salon?
    8. Is that an afro? That’s old school, people don’t do that anymore.
    9. Don’t come to my house with natural hair. (It was a joke though)
    10. Don’t ever wear your hair out, is not nice, always put on wigs or use extensions to braid or twist.
    11. Your hair looks weird.
    12. You need a lot of makeup to accentuate your look with that hair.
    13. You are only limited to styles like cornrows and African threading.
    14. Why are you using fruits and kitchen ingredients on your hair, is meant to be eaten.
    15. You are wasting your time, money and energy on that hair, is it worth it?

      What are the negative things you have heard about your hair? Have you ever felt discouraged because of what others think of your hair? Please drop your comments in the comment section. Thanks for reading

      8 Amazing Benefits of Exfoliating.

      Most of us skip this important and expedient part of our skincare routine.Exfoliating shouldn’t be circumscript to the face but should be done all over the body.

      Exfoliation is the process of removing dead or dry skin cells from the skin. It has loads of benefit for our skin appearance and also helps with some skin conditions. 

      Dead skin cells should be exfoliated once or twice a week preferably with natural or home remedies for a beautiful smooth skin. With regular exfoliation, you seldomly need to wear makeup everyday and you feel more comfortable without worrying about dark spots, acne etc.

      Benefits of exfoliating.

      • Even skin tone: Hyperpigmentation makes a part of the skin appear darker than other parts. Exfoliating regularly, can remove all dark spots giving you an overall even skin tone.
      • Glowing skin: Exfoliation increase blood circulation to the skin making it look healthy and glowing..

      • Reduce clogged pores: Pores are the small opening in the skin, they can get clogged with oil, dirt and dead skin cells. You can reduce the clogged pores through exfoliation.
      • Removes blemishes and acne: Regular exfoliation can get rid of blemishes and acne on your face giving you a flawless skin.
      • Reduce wrinkles: Wrinkles which can also be as a result of dead skin cells can also be reduced with exfoliation.
      • Helps with dry skin: People with dry skin often get flakes on their skin, this can be easily removed by exfoliating.

      • Better shaving and prevent razor bumps: Exfoliating before shaving gives you a better shave and reduce risk of razor bumps.
      • Absorption: Skincare products get easily absorbed on the skin and works better with regular exfoliation.

        After exfoliating, use a natural moisturized such as shea butter, coconut oil, olive oil etc. Also do not expose your skin for long to sun rays after exfoliating for 24 hours. 

        I will soon write a post on how to exfoliate and best natural products for exfoliating. Thanks for reading and please share.
