Myths, Facts, or Opinions??

Posted on January 8, 2013 at 9:25 AM

Okay, so lately I have been watching more YT videos! I have been listening to a lot of people's methods and what their idea of what is BEST - what you SHOULD do and SHOULD NOT! 

*Those that are new to the natural journey can easily be misled...this is what makes me upset and confused! I, myself, am new to being natural and have gathered information from several people, including professionals, to begin my own regimen...now I am reevaluating it to be certain that I have the best regimen for my hair to remain healthy and grow.

Not all methods will work on every person! Even those with the same 'hair type'! Also, if you have not noticed, you more likely have more than one texture in your natural hair! 

*The back (nape) of my head is the coarsest; the middle (crown) and specifically along the right side is the easiest to detangle. Weird, right?

Well this means that you cannot judge your hair and compare to another. You can take methods and suggestions and make it your own, however.

Combing, Brushing, Products

So far, I have heard that combing is not good, to using wide tooth comb, to use a demnam brush, to use a paddle brush, etc... this can make one very stressful when getting mixed instructions! I know that excessive combing/brushing is not good..so I will just comb at a minimal! When it comes to 4c hair - I just was not sure which of those above are appropriate! I know that using the wide tooth comb, I have not been able to detangle as proficient..so I will need to use either a smaller comb or a demnam(paddle) brush to detangle! Make the best decision for you and your hair!

When it comes to products, I was also getting mixed information! It seems that one professional likes this and that while the other states that it is useless or not good for hair. You have to realize that some 'professionals' may not always know everything (some are learning just as much about natural hair and may need beauty schooling, while others are just stuck in their ways) and some even do not have best interests - as long as they are getting customers! So I will take each of their information and make the best decision about the products that I am using! 

*I will pay close attention to the results I get from products and only use those that give me the best result. Also, research on these ingredients that I am uncertain about!

Overall, we need to understand that not everyone will know what is best for our hair. Not all products will work on everyone! Listen to your hair and use products that you notice work! Do not try every product that says NATURAL...100% PURE...contains this or that! You must realize that the information may not fully true! Just make sure you do your research - do not take everyone's word, even professionals!
