Natural hair rocks, and its banging too. But caring for natural hair takes some care and a half. And oh my, the patience one needs. The great thing about carrying natural hair is that it is a good reflection of what goes on in you. And the best part is that once you get the hang of it, natural hair is an easy peasy breezy part of your life. Plus, the every day instant gorgeousness, the ability to change looks every single morning.

If you are still considering whether to hop on the natural hair bandwagon, simply consider these facts. Relaxers contain some really harmful chemicals. The worst of which is sodium peroxide which can cause burning scarring and even blindness. Others include Guanidine carbonate, succinic acid which could be harmful when absorbed through skin.

The repercussions of absorbing small doses of these chemicals over time include;

  1. They cause reproductive problems.
  2. Can lead to developing heart diseases
  3. Early puberty is brought about with the use of relaxers that distort hormones.
  4. Fibroids
  5. Relaxers can cause cancer, scalp irritations, burns and other health issues for younger kids.
  6. They can actually cause mental disorders.

There are a hundred and one reasons to consider letting go of the harsh chemicals. But how do we go about caring for natural hair? Natural hair often comes across as some variety of natural iron sponge. So how do you tame this black iron without going crazy?

    Washing strips natural hair of its natural oils. These need to be replenished to prevent drying out of the hair. Hair cuticles become very vulnerable and open when they are washed and this can lead to breakage. Your oils help to seal in some water and moisturize longer. The best oils are some essential oils, argan oil, rosemary oil, and so on. Your most important oils are coconut, olive and castor oil. These are easier to get and can be used to get a range of other oils.
