So, I’ve been asked by quite a few people about how I care for my and the girls hair.  There’s been quite a bit of trial and error, some research at the library for hair care books, scouring of the Internet, and YouTube. I’ve asked natural hair wearing strangers what products they use and how they styled their hair, which funny enough, has sent me back to the books, websites and YouTube.I finally got it together — my products, my curly haired victim subject, and my camera — and made my own tutorial.  This is amateur video at its finest, no bells and whistles, no music running in the background or cool graphics.   Movie making is best left to the professionals, I realize. My point was to show you “how-to” with the hair.

 

I hope this answers some questions about how I do things for myself and my my girls when it comes to hair care as well as answers some questions about products and styling.  I’m really thankful for all the compliments that I receive about my hair and I’m glad to see such an increase in folks who are going natural.  I know I’m not the first ever person to do a Big Chop or to go natural, but things have changed in the 15 years since I did.  There’s more dialogue, more products, more information, more networks and more acceptance.  Natural hair is moving away from being considered “non-traditional” to being simply another way to style ones hair.  That’s pretty cool.
