WHY GO NATURAL
The natural hair movement embraces black hair that is free from extensions, wigs or straightening chemicals. If you're still on the fence about going natural, read this. Your curls will thank you.
Sit back, and enjoy. You never know, after this, you just may join us
1. Reunion
When you go natural, you get to see your real hair for the first time in a long time. What's that you see peeking through? You! not somebody else's.
2. Anti-Aging
Natural hair makes you look youthful. How many celebrities have you viewed in magazines and online who went natural and look vibrant and more youthful? All of them! Check out photos of Viola Davis, Nicole Ari Parker, Corinne Bailey Rae, Esperanza Spalding and Solange Knowles. They possess a beauty that's all their own. These ladies radiate.
3. Flexibility
Natural hair means flexibility. You want to change up your look? Opt for a braided updo or twistout. You're not stuck with one style. Your hair can match the season, an event, your wardrobe or mood. Natural hair has so many styling options, it’s ridiculous. You can actually wear a different style every day. From an afro, to straw curls, to straightened, to protective styles like weaving, braids and dreadlocks, your choices are endless. The natural hair versatility is amazing.
4. Community
You get to join a community of amazing natural women who care about health, wellness and individuality! What a support system we naturalistas have. You can interact with your curl friends by attending a meetup, show or event.
5. Pride
By wearing your hair natural you let people know that you're proud of who are you, and you won't conform to one single standard of beauty. You're saying, "This is me, and I'm beautiful just as I am. This is beautiful."
6. Growth
A lot of the time, many ladies have experienced hair growth only up till a certain point. (Chin length, shoulder length, etc.) But after going natural, the hair gains a life of its own and reaches lengths that they could only dream about before
7. Fullness
Going natural means an end to lifeless, thin, limp hair. Chemical straightening of hair results in breaking the bonds in our hair which makes it lose its curls, and many times, its thickness too. My hair is fine in texture, and relaxers just made it worse. Since going natural, my hair is full and strong, and I’m even getting compliments about it.
8. Uniqueness
Because DNA is unique to each individual, our hair is also distinctive, meaning that your hair is an exclusive! No two people can have the same type of hair, not even twins, and this allows you to rock styles and trends in a way that is uniquely yours. We can all agree that hair is a major identifier for us ladies, so imagine the possibilities…
9 Black and proud!
Our natural hair is uniquely African, the afro has been a symbol of Black Empowerment for a long time, and it represents our beauty and strength as a people. Many view going natural as an awakening or an acceptance of the natural beauty of Black women and a rejection of the European concepts of what has been regarded as “beauty” for far too long. The natural hair movement is helping a lot of Black women confirm that we are beautiful just the way we are.
Slowly but surely, we are seeing the emergence of a group of women who are rocking their hair with pride, and encouraging others to do the same.
Black, natural, and proud!
