EVERYBODY and their Mama.... Style Vol. 1

Updos, one of the magnificent things about natural tightly curled hair is it's ability to stay put, undisturbed, up high or lowly placed in the uniqueness of our own design. On the down side, this often means that our hair has to be prepared, sometimes over night, to change from one style to another. So, check out this simple braided updo or side-do, a quick, easy, longlasting way to beautiful style, when nothing else will work.

(aFRO HAIR TIP #1)
(If hair feels too stiff to move freely, then moisturise first with water, by gently passing your wet hands through your hair, or/and a spritz leave-in like atrActiva's Detangling Mist, and then, a styler moisturiser like Brillantina).

save your hair; split ends; hair knots; damaged hair; moisturise hair; seal hair; dominican hair alliance; dominican hair products in the uk; water and hair

Shedding, breakage, split-ends, more shedding. When hair is in need of rescuing drastic conditioning needs to take place. Super conditioners, healthy eating, and good hair care practices are all needed to put your hair back to the glory it was intended. Yes, this battle to great healthy hair must take place on all fronts. 

  Outlined below are the steps to protective styling and hair care.

Your ends may well be split, in worse cases there are are not only a few split ends, but split strands and knots independently formed all the way up the strand. What causes this? Especially our natural strand to curl into itself,  tiny and tightly knotting up? - lack of moisture.

                                                    Want moisture? - then you want water!

EVERYBODY and their Mama going NATURAL!!

Just a few years ago, two or three, the UK was not filled with the natural Afro hair wearers as it is today. As  recently as 2010,  our natural hair was hard to spot among people over 12. Nowadays, it seems if you are not natural, you're wigged or weaved - and probably natural under the hair extensions, too. And it's like that everywhere across Europe,  the USA and increasingly widespread in the Caribbean.

No longer are tight Afro curl wearers thought of as "brave". Now, it's accepted  amongst ourselves and increasingly normal. But NORMAL ISN'T ENOUGH!

                                                            It is time to get PROUD.

To Cleanse Hair and Scalp

0 Comments

          Your hair is cashmere; why wash it like it was cotton?

Somewhere along the line we picked the wrong metaphor to describe our hair. Our billowy, cloudlike curls may share the fluffiness of cotton but that's where most of the similarities end.

Cotton is a hardy, all-weather material, while our hair is delicate by design, more like cashmere, which also happens to share its fluffy natural texture. Cotton requires little care, standing up unscathed to harsh detergents and rough handling that we wouldn't dream of subjecting our cashmere items to.

We know it takes a little extra care and investment to maintain top quality cashmere; so too for our fragile, highly-prized tresses. Here's how to keep them in pristine, cashmere condition with every wash:
