Page 4 - What You Need To Know About Natural Hair Care

Understanding Your

Hair

If you are longing to refer back to your natural roots let me

tell you that it is such a big but elaborating step to take. Of

course, when you decide to transition or to do the big chop you

will always have that self-doubt in the back of your mind

whether you have made the right choice, but that's when you

have to determine all the positive reason as to why you should

learn to embrace what is yet to come. Despite all the things

you may hear about hair texture, really in my opinion does

not matter if you have 4a or 3a4c hair etc and should not

matter in the natural world, however, you will need to

determine your hairs density and your hair's porosity, as these

two factors will help determine how best to manage your hair

and what products will work best for your hair texture.

Do not be fixated into that whole texture talk because as you

go along your hair journey you will find that it is all

irrelevant.

When we talk about hair's porosity, what that means is how

well your hair can absorb and retain moisture. The condition

of the hair's cuticle the overlapping scales will determine

whether you have low, medium is known as normal or high

porosity hair.

If you have normal porosity hair, healthy hair you will find

that the cuticle is compact meaning that your have moisture

coming and moisture coming out the balance is great for you.

If you have low porosity hair, what that means is that the

cuticles are overly compact and lays flat meaning that it will

repel penetration of moisture into your hair because your

cuticles always remain close.
