Natural Hair

Dealing with hair has always been tricky business. Some people have great natural hair, and don’t feel the need to mess with dyes, cuts, or other remedies. If you have great natural hair, hair care is easy and affordable. You might need a good cut every six weeks, and a good shampoo. For the rest of us, our hair doesn’t cooperate, and leaving our natural hair as it is not always an option. When you dye your hair, get a perm, or have it straightened, you still want it to look as much like natural hair as possible.

If you aren’t happy with your natural hair, you can use one of the options above to change your look. Many ladies with straight hair often opt for a perm. These use a chemical to alter the hair. The hair can have any number of different types of curls, and the results can last two to six months, depending on your particular hair. These are often a great way to keep your look updated and easy to manage. When you perm, however, you have to use more care than if you were just wearing your natural hair. You may have to deep condition to keep it looking good.

Another option is hair dye. When dying hair, it is often harder to achieve the look of natural hair. Hair by nature is multi colored. This means that even if you have brown hair, you will find many shades of brown in your tresses. There may be lighter browns, or even reds, present. This is natural, and can sometimes be the result of exposure to the sun. This is the way natural hair looks, and it is hard to get that with a dye. For the best look, have your hair dyed in a salon. They can often get results as close to natural hair color as possible.

Those with curls may wish to have their hair straightened. This can be done on a day by day basic with the help of a blow dryer or a straightening iron, or can be done by chemical, much like a curly perm. To keep hair looking like natural hair, this type of hair needs extra help. Straightening tends to dry out the hair, and curly hair is dry by nature. You should always use a quality shampoo and conditioner, and deep condition at least once a week. This will help keep your hair healthy, and give it the sheen of natural hair.

Natural Hair Care

My mother always told me that just because something is natural doesn't mean that it is good for you. Deadly nightshade, for example, is natural. Hemlock is natural. Many, many different natural things will kill you. Nevertheless, I have still always been prone to buying things with the word “natural” on the packaging. Whether it is natural food, natural cosmetics, our natural hair products, I am a sucker for it all. I guess it is because I am well-meaning. I want to do my part to help the planet, although I am unwilling to give up most of the creature comforts that we all take for granted. I wish I had been a little bit more skeptical about All of the so-called natural health junk. Natural hair care sure did a number on my hair.

You see, I went into a natural hair salon looking for treatment. I was having all kinds of problems. In the first place, I have always had dry hair. No matter what my diet is like, my hair is dry and frizzy and prone to tangling. I had tried many different hair care products, but none of them helped. I thought the natural hair care was probably be my best bet. I didn't want to go into a more conventional hair salon, you see, where they would put harsh chemicals into my hair. I figured that natural haircare would involve gentle herbs that would nourish my hair, treating any problems I had without putting too much stress on it.

In addition to natural hair care for frizzy hair, I needed natural baldness treatment as well. My hair had been slowly but surely thinning for years, and Rogaine had done nothing to help. In short, when I went there into that natural hair care salon, I was looking for a miracle. What I got was more akin to a nightmare. After the natural hair care, my hair was so oily that I couldn't even brush the tangles out! If anything, the rate of balding seemed to increase. Rather than being the gentle treatment that I had expected, the natural hair treatment was actually quite harsh and unpleasant. I know that this isn't the typical experience that people have when they get hair care natural products. If anything, these products tend to be too weak rather than strong enough to be damaging. Even so, it should serve as a warning to people – my mother was right about natural products.
