So, January 13th I decided that I wanted to go heat free for Atleast three months. Why? Well, I washed my hair and realized that my curl pattern was not anywhere where it used to be. Straightening my hair once and sometimes twice a week has put me in a bind. I can see many straight pieces and I know it's not healthy. So, I decided to find styles to wear while on this journey. One that takes little effort is the bun.
Products Used:
EcoStyler Gel: Green Jar
100% pure Jamaican Black Castor Oil
Miss Jessie's Leave in Condish
Toothbrush for those edges (don't judge)
Goodys bobby pins
Human Braiding Hair
Another go to style is Perm Rods & Bantu knots. After a few days I usually pin them up into a pineapple.
Things I have learned when transitioning and on a healthy hair journey kick:
1. Low manipulation- try styles you can wear for a few days. You don't have to brush or comb through your hair everyday.
2. Dry your hair with a tshirt. This helps your hair from snagging and popping with a rough towel.
3. Deep condition and make sure to keep your hair moisturized.
4. Stay awwaaayyy from heat.
What's your favorite natural style when going heat free?
