BACK TO OUR ROOTS! TAKE INSPIRATION FROM THESE NIGERIAN LADIES ROCKING KINKY HAIR

Spread the love
Nse Ikpe-Etim

In this age of Brazilian, Indian and Peruvian hair,
it’s almost hard to rock other hairstyles, let alone natural kinky hair! In spite of this, these ladies are bold enough to
make a statement in kinky hair.

Is your hair relaxed and you want to move to natural
hair? There is only one way: get a trim or a haircut! If you can’t part with
long hair, just get your hair stylist to cut off the ends.

If you are already rocking your natural hair, bebeakinboade.com
presents to you how to incorporate these natural products into your hair care
regimen.

Nneka

GLYCERINE
It leaves hair soft by drawing moisture from the air
and into your hair, so the follicles are less likely to become brittle and
break.

BUTTER

Cocoa or African Shea Butter Cream. They can also
leave your hair supple and soft. It’s great for soothing a dry scalp. Make sure
that you get the unrefined ones.

OIL

Extra Virgin Olive oil is the most popular. Apply
this to the ends of your hair after you have moisturised them. This will seal
the ends to trap the glycerine so your hair stays moist.

AIR DRY

It’s time to get rid of your hairdryer! Natural hair
lacks moisture, and hairdryers burn away the little moisture that they have.
Airdrying takes longer but it’s healthier for your hair.

 Don’t wash
your hair too frequently. The natural oils that build up replenish the moisture
and delay damage.

 There are many different ways to style your hair,
and here’s just a few:

Depending on how kinky your hair is, you’ll be able
to wear an afro

-Afro puffs (You pull the hair back the same way
you’d do a ponytail for straight hair, but kinky hair puffs out instead of
falling down)

-Plaits

-Twists

-Twistouts (This involves leaving your hair in
twists for a couple of days or weeks, and then undoing them. This also works
well after you’ve worn plaits. Your hair will be wavy and stretched out, so
it’s great when you feel like a new look.)

-Cornrows

-Dreadlocks

 

This list is endless.
