Why protein treatment is essential for Healthy Type 4 Natural Hair.
Know how your hair behaves and its unique characteristics.
I don’t mean knowing your hair type, texture all that stuff. I know they are important but pay attention to specific details like how your hair feels when you use a certain product, how long it takes to dry or stay moisturized, which protective style helps you retain length, how your hair reacts to changing weather conditions and so on.
3 Natural hair porosity types: What you need to know
Length retention.
Your hair is always growing but are you retaining the ‘growth’? To smash that length goal, length retention should be your main goal. Minimize breakage, wear protective styles that are protective, don’t over manipulate your hair and for more length retention tips, catch up here.
Scalp care.
A healthy scalp equates to growth of healthy hair. Clean your scalp, moisturize it, don’t cause tension on it by pulling your hair and give it a relaxing and growth stimulating massage. Catch on healthy scalp care practices here.
Products that your hair loves and hates.
Sometimes an itchy scalp, dry hair or breakage can be a sign that your hair doesn’t love a certain product. Every time you change your product, be keen on how your hair responds to it. As they say your hair is always communicating, just pay attention. Work with products that work best for your hair.

Loving your hair in its natural state.
Oh yes, this is a goal too. DON’T compare your hair texture, density, definition. Accepting and loving your mane as it is, is where achieving your hair goals starts. Comparison will have you feeling like your hair isn’t growing, not lush enough or you ain’t doing the hair care thing right.
Healthy hair.
Lastly, healthy hair should be your top goal followed by length, volume & definition. Maintain the moisture – protein balance, protect your hair when sleeping, detangle properly, use the right products for your hair, moisturize regularly and properly etc. Chase healthy hair and everything else will be added to you.

Thanks for the inspiration. I think for me being in lockdown has distracted me
Anytime💜💜💜.. Ooh how has the lockdown distracted you?
Thank you for reading❤
I guess by not doing much, and not motivated.
But you know what things are changing and looking better in many ways
And even not doing much hair related blog posts on here this year so far. But I am starting to write up hair posts now slowly to schedule for April onwards.
Yaas! Can’t wait for the hair posts. I understand the not feeling motivated part. I had to start a length retention and growth challenge to keep me rooted
The challenges sound good.
You got this 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
