Favorite Natural Hair YouTube Guru

Day 14... Favorite Natural Hair YouTube Guru. I have a slew of natural hair guru's that I watch daily. One day I will name them all but my all time favorite is torn between two, which is Shameless Maya and IvyCharlaine. I've watched IvyCharlaine grow from neck length to almost waist length straight. Shameless Maya is just a joy to watch she is hilarious and does different types videos not just hair. They both cut their hair recently for their own personal reasons but once again natural hair is not about how long your hair can grow but about how healthy your hair should be.

Much Love,

Another Cut!!!

So I know I'm late with this post because the video is dated in May and its clearly about to be July (can't be on top of everything). But I literally watched this youtuber IvyCharlaine grow her hair from neck length hair to down her back hair, and she cut it off back to where she started her journey. Starting to notice that people do acquire change for a reason, either they are bored or just need something new. I myself have experienced this throughout my life, I have had my hair super long (bra strap length) got bored and cut it into a bob. Not just once or twice but a like five times and my hair grows back. My problem however is right after I cut it I relapse and panic. Literally I start to question myself like why did you do that? Then my family of course chimes in because they have gotten use to my long hair. Eventually I adjust to my hair, but initially it is a pure shock that I even did it, and this before I knew anything about weaves, because I definitely would've just gotten a sew in instead of cutting my hair lol. But anyhoo enjoy the video it s amazing to see a nice amount of naturals cut their hair, it changes the real aspect of why people become natural in the first place. I truly believe that the goal is to have healthy hair not just length.

Much Love!

The Proper Way to Deep Condition

The are plenty benefits of deep conditioning your hair, however if it is done incorrectly you could be causing more harm than good to your hair. Here are a few tips when deep conditioning your hair.

1. Oils
    - use oils that penetrate your hair (coconut oil, olive oil, avocado oil).

2. Alcohol Free Conditioners
    - alcohol strips your hair of its needed nutrients, refrain from it.

3. Section your hair
    -pretty simple,  section your hair so that detangling is easier as well as making  sure that the conditioner is evenly distributed.

4. Heat
    -heat opens up the hair shaft therefore allowing the conditioner to enter. A hooded dryer can achieve this or a steamer.

5. Rinse with Cold Water
    - cool water closes the hair shaft which then locks the conditioner in.
Down below is a YouTube video of Ivy Charlaine showing you how to deep condition your hair. Follow her on instagram and YouTube: IvyCharlaine and on Twitter: @ivycharlaine
