Stop wearing wigs & do this

For years I was relaxed & damaged my hair by coloring , over manipulating and a lot of heat ! My hair became very thin and severely dry . It stopped growing and it wasn’t healthy .

I got an impulsive thought and grabbed scissors and decided to start over , mind you I had no plan . Just a vision and some hope lol!

All that to say , there were a lot of trial and error , trying to learn my hair texture , my hair porosity and mainly how to keep my hair hydrated .

It was a slow process, but it was my journey and it taught me patience , self love and to embrace my hair in its natural state .

I Devolved a hair routine , removed all bad habits and started using natural Ayurvedic herbs . Along with formulating my own hair growth oil , hair gel and hair butter ..also Implementing deep conditioning weekly , steaming , low manipulation styles , and oiling w scalp massages .

I went from teeny weeny Afro to waist length hair in 6 years . No supplements , just tlc !!

... Read moreStarting over with natural hair after years of heat damage and chemical treatments can feel overwhelming, but embracing your hair’s true texture is a profoundly rewarding journey. From my personal experience, understanding your hair porosity is a game-changer—it determines how well your hair absorbs and retains moisture, which is critical for restoring health and promoting growth. I found that integrating Ayurvedic herbs like amla, bhringraj, and fenugreek into my hair care routine not only nourished my scalp but also strengthened my hair from the root. These herbs have long been celebrated for their ability to stimulate hair follicles and improve circulation, which helped me see real progress without relying on supplements. Weekly deep conditioning and steaming sessions became my sanctuary moments, locking in hydration and enabling my curls to bounce back with softness and shine. Combining this with low manipulation styles minimized breakage, allowing me to preserve the length and thickness I worked so hard to regain. Scalp massages with my homemade hair growth oil were another key factor—they increased blood flow and encouraged hair growth while providing relaxation. This ritual also reinforced a positive routine of self-care and patience, essential when recovering from damaged hair. For anyone tempted to hide behind wigs due to hair damage, I encourage you to experiment gently and educate yourself about your hair’s unique needs. There’s no overnight fix, but with dedication, natural treatments, and a little trial and error, you can reclaim your hair’s health and confidence.
