Lessons I've Learned from Locking Hair

63) It' s very common for individuals to have at least two different hair textures in their head. Make sure you consider all of your hair textures when maintaining your hair daily.

Recently, I met a client who had two extremely different hair textures. The majority of her hair was soft and cottony. While the hair located just under the Occipital bone was extremely course and brittle. When I inquired about the breakage in the Occipital bone area, she mentioned that she has always had a problem with growing hair in that area; she reported that her hair grows and breaks.

In the end, I gave her a complete shampoo, conditioning and hot oil treatment, and I counseled her on how to address the brittle hair in the back of her head with one product and use another product for the other areas of her head. In conclusion, the moral of the story is..... pay attention-- some parts of your hair may require more moisture and conditioning treatments.

62) The Natural Hair Care movement grows stronger every day!!

I remember when I first decided to go natural. ( I rocked braids and twists.)
At that time, I stuck out in a crowd. So few people were wearing their hair naturally. As a matter of fact, I remember being the butt end of quite a few jokes on my college campus.

Today, I see so many people embracing their natural hair. As I've watched the movement over the years, I can truly say......my heart dances with glory as I watch my people embrace what GOD has bestowed onto them!!

Recently, I was the featured hair stylist at a Natural Hair Care meet up event hosted by the lovely Racheal O. I had the opportunity to chat with so many different women about their Natural Hair Care journey. I would have never imagined that scores of men and women would reach out to me to chat up natural hair.

61) Natural hair purists are very challenged when deciding whether or not to add coloring agents their hair.

I've discovered that some folks wear their natural hair as a trend. But also, there are some folks who wear natural hair styles to make an altruist statement about their persona; I call these altruistic individuals, Natural hair purist. For the purists, the decision to add color is challenging because they feel they are no longer natural when their hair is treated with color --after all color is a chemical.

Today, I want to share four bullet points that may be helpful in your decision making process:

• Yes, color is a chemical. However, you can choose products that are less damaging to your hair



• You must learn and adopt a new method for caring for your color treated hair



• The act of adding color to your hair is an individual choice; color enhances your overall look and offers a flair of style.



• For the best color treated hair results, please consult with a trained stylist.

If you are thinking about color - why not go for it!!
