NAT 102

Hi all. Hope we had a great weekend and a lot of rest. Well, lectures continue in earnest :)

Big Chop
Being the easiest way of going natural, one hardly encounters issues with this method. Every treatment done is in direct contact with the natural hair-since chemical-treated ends have been cut off- hence, ensuring a 'well-fed' hair.
After the bigchop, styling of the hair is quite limited as you'd most often rock a TWA(Teeny Weeny Afro). A TWA anyway can be rocked in a 'wash 'n' go'. A Wash 'n' Go simply means washing the hair and applying a natural styling gel(eco-styler gel, jack5, spiralicious are some natural gels which can be used). After applying the product of your choice, massage it gently into your hair using your fingers and you're good to go (don't comb)

HAIR REGIMEN:
THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN SELECTING A GOOD HAIR REGIMEN
1)Hair type
2)Hair texture
3)Hair elasticity
4)Hair porosity
In as much as we want a long healthy mane, we should 'keep it simple'. Don't go overloading your hair and thinking 'the more treatments, the better'...just pick a regimen and stick to it.
MOISTURIZING
Every regimen must include moisturizing the hair. Moisturizing can be done in more than one way; spritz the hair or deep condition; both can be done although not at the same time.

So next week, we learn more on deep conditioning and take a look at some DC recipes. Until then, have a wonderful Hairweek
