Wash Day || PJM x Black Fem Reader

inspo You're hair is really soft (Pinterest)

*woman in gif is not a face claim

yn: hey baby i'm getting ready to start washing my hair. so i'll be slow to respond if you text me within the next seven hours <3

jimin: seven hours ???

jimin: wait can i help

yn: uhh sure. if you want i'm unraveling my braids now

You sat your phone down, focusing on the ombre brown box braid in your hand. It was officially fall, and it was time to take out your late summer hairstyle. You stretched this style longer than usual due to your recent visit to South Korea. You came to celebrate Jimin's birthday and spent the remaining three weeks sightseeing before returning to your country.

The once neat squares were now fuzzy and overgrown. You were excited to see this much new growth spreading across your scalp. You peeked over your phone, seeing Jimin hearted your final text message. Jimin never shied away from asking you questions about your natural hair. Of course, he knew about the versatility of black hair, but now that his girlfriend was black, he felt he could become better informed.

"Yeobo." Jimin cooed, taking off his black puffer jacket. His eyes shining with pure love, looking at you. Despite half of your hair sticking out.

Jimin bent over and laid a kiss on your lips. He sat down before you, feet crossed and tucked underneath his body. "I'm ready to be your assistant."

You demonstrated to Jimin where to cut and how to unravel your braids. Like a good student, Jimin watched you take down some braids. Watching how generous you were with the detangler, using the rat tail comb to pick at those annoying knots.

Jimin was so gentle, slowly detangling your hair. Starting from the ends of your hair as you taught him. With each crinkly track of hair that Jimin removed, more and more of your natural hair was revealed. He showered your hair with compliments, not caring about the specks of dirt or clusters of hardened gel.

Starting your natural hair journey was something always intimate to you. It was your hair. Your crown. It was a part of your identity. Whether it was short, long, kinky, or curly. It grew from your scalp and was a testament to strength. Not letting Western beauty standards strip you of the beauty you were handed down from your ancestors. And for him, Jimin, your non-black boyfriend, to engage with your natural hair. You felt connected with him on another level.

In no time, an hour to be exact, you and Jimin finished unraveling all the braids. Your afro was extended high and moved like blades of grass in the wind. Jimin sweetly called your hair cotton candy.

"Your hair is so soft. I love it in this state." He leaned back on the couch, proud of his work.

"Na ah. We still got more work to do; now we have to wash it."

No complaint left Jimin's mouth as he rolled off the couch.

"Okay, but I wanna take a picture. Your hair is so cute right now." You playfully rolled your eyes but stretched out your hair to look suitable for the picture. Knowing Jimin, he was going to make this photo be his lock screen for who knows how long. With his hands around your hips, Jimin pulled you in close. His full lips puckered, kissing your cheek. Your eyes were closed, giving the camera a beautiful smile.

Reviewing the image, Jimin laughed, seeing that your afro covered a good portion of his face. But his lips on your cheek were still evident. Clearing out your kitchen sink, you explained to Jimin how each product would help your hair. He was simply taken aback by the six bottles that were sitting on the sink.

Jimin held the faucet spout over your hair, impressed at how your hair was repelling the stream of water. Jimin counted the sixty-seconds it took for your hair to start dripping from the water.

"So this is what you mean by low-porosity?"

"Yeah, it takes a while for my hair to get wet and for my hair to dry. Well at least air dry."

You squirted the coconut-scented shampoo in your hand. Ensuring that you scratched up any dirt in your hair. The scalp massage was your favorite part of washing your hair. You reached for Jimin's hands, getting them into your hair. His hands massaging your hair, hitting all the itchy spots.

"This is so satisfying, not gonna lie." You physically relaxed into Jimin's body. Despite the slightly uncomfortable bridge position you were in. You didn't mind as you watched Jimin wash your hair. You recognized his look of determination as he gave care to each area of your scalp.

"Gimme kiss." This time, you were puckering your lips for a kiss. Jimin didn't hesitate. Since your time in Korea, you have not had the opportunity to have a 'down' day with Jimin. Either he was taking you to a new part of the country he wanted you to see. Or you were working remotely from your laptop. You weren't working odd hours due to conflicting time zones. You were finding peace in the little things, like watching Jimin breathe. Your hands traced his jawline, feeling his bare skin. Not many things if life are 'perfect', but this moment between you and Jimin would be close. You basked in the moment. Not wanting this moment to end. Not enjoying your time to end.

"I love you."

"I love you more."

"Impossible." Jimin rinsed the shampoo, repeating the process with conditioner and deep conditioner. Jimin hadn't even noticed the time just flying by. He was just going along with the flow. Watching you section off your hair before blow drying it. The sections displayed an obvious contrast in the apparent 'length' of your hair. When soaking wet it was barely near your ear. Yet after being stretched by the blow dryer, it was at your collarbone.

"What do you need help with next?"

"This next part is pretty simple. I'm just gonna do five cornrows, then call it a night. You've been such a help, babe."

"Teach me how to do it." Jimin patted on the carpeted ground for you to sit in between his legs. In a matter of thirty minutes, Jimin mastered cornrows. Something that took you months, maybe even years to make them look presentable.

"Had I known you were this fast learner, I would have taught you this when we met." You looked at the five braids. You looked at the time, noticing that only four hours had passed. Jimin helped you shave off three hours of wash day.

"Glad to be of help."

I feel like I'm constantly changing my format when writing these imagines. Oh well. Life has been good lately, hope life has been good to everyone too <33

I'm def looking forward to the discourse on Golden over the next few days.

My Natural Hair Growth Journey

Let’s Embrace our Natural Self!

Before I start, I would like to get this clear. I don’t have a problem with weaves, wigs, ponytails, etc. I say this, at the front door because when I decided to announce that I am trying to go natural; I got looks like I was a traitor. As of today, I wear my natural hair under my wigs because I am transitioning my hair from relaxers, tight hairstyles that pulled on my edges and bad hair gel that essentially dried out my hair. This is the reason for my natural hair growth journey.

My natural hair growth journey beginning

It was December 2015, and I was just about to finish college when I began cruising YouTube at home. I was bored and curious as to what was going on, then I came across some You-tubers sharing their experiences about maintaining their natural hair.

They talked about the products they tried and liked and the ones they didn’t like. I was hooked!  I spent hours watching, learning and writing down tips and products. You would have thought I was back in college. I was back on my grind.

It is funny how life can bring you into a full circle

A few years ago, 3 of my older cousins, who all live in different states, were visiting for a family reunion. I noticed that they had cut their hair down to a low Afro. At that time I was still relaxing my hair, wearing wigs and sometimes ponytails.

But I was curious. Was this a new revolution that I was ignorant about? Of course, I knew that the 60s brought back rocking the Afros, then in the 80s and early 90s the braids, especially the “Goddess braids” or for some of us the “Janet Jackson box braids”. Now the 2000″s “s brought back the natural hair look.

The crazy thing about it was that I found myself defending weaves, wigs, and ponytails. One of my cousins asked me why I wouldn’t just go natural. I heard comments like “You guys are just making the wig stores richer by trying to look like Caucasian women with that long flowing hair”. What? Yes, I was being attacked at the family picnic.

I said, “First, I am not trying to be like anyone but myself. Secondly, I love the way I look with long hair”.  I told my cousin that I have a big apple-shaped head, therefore, I couldn’t rock the short hairstyles. They don’t fit my face. The truth about it was that I was envious of my cousins’  abilities to wear their hair that short and still look good. They have the faces and heads for that style.

More young girls are going natural

>>> Female Pattern Hair Loss Success Stories <<<

As I look around these days, I see all lengths of Afros, twist outs and braids. While doing my research, I realized this may not be just a trend or phase, this could be the beginning of our sisters learning to love and accept their natural hair.

My history growing up was if your hair was long and silky-like, you had “good hair”. Being black, I grew up believing that because it was one of the descriptions people would use to describe someone with silky or wavy hair.

Now that I am in my forties, which means I grew up in the 70s and 80s, this was still going strong from my heritage, which started this nonsense. I can’t lie, I still find myself saying, “She or he has good hair”. I am not only transitioning my hair, but I’m also transitioning my mind about African-American hair. Furthermore, I have work to do, for real!

Our black culture is unique in many ways

Our hair is like no other on this planet. Going way back to our West African ancestors, we have always shown our artistic abilities when it came to our hair because it is so different. Our hair grows in a coiled curl pattern, coarser in texture, which makes our hair more delicate to manipulate than other races. Here in America, black people also have mixtures of different types of hair because we have Native American blood and other nationalities that are traced in our lineage. >>> 1 Year Hair Growth Journey: Embracing Your Natural Self <<<

Let me know about your hair journey. Just leave me a comment down below.

Hair representation matters in entertainment industry (including black people) Don’t ignore this.

Time to discuss People of color (POC)representation,

Why we need more Hairstyles, inspiration in media for culture.

It's time to debunk HERE I GO!!!

Hello To all the Lovely Stars & Space Voyagers, This is the Brown Sugar Queen Kyoko Cane Aka The Black Crystal Jem Of The Daystar Voyage, I am a Cosplayer, A Fabulous Blerd if you will who does Drag/perform, Making Creative content on platforms involving Family Entertainment Mostly with some variety in it.

I come to talk about something that's been buzzing in my mind about a topic needing to get debunked & spoken about, IS POC REPRESENTATION & HAIRSTYLES IN MEDIA.

GOD POC REP MATTERS IN MEDIA MATTERS ( STOP ACTING LIKE IT DOESNT)

As a black Person Growing Up Myself, It has been a beautiful journey road being a proud African American man coming out as genderqueer, I always Found Comfort & love In My own Skin & even my Hair of all textures, first time I saw the ever Strong lightning goddess storm in the xmen series on fox kids made a great impact in my life in the early days of the 80s & 90s along other favorite shows back then however,

POC representation in the Future of Anime & western animation even in today's media has been distorted Or even limited on how we as black people are drawn. from caricatures To Stereotypes, or to follow a certain trend to make a profit from viewers & fans be it from influencers & popular media or just to be made Fun Of & Mocked, do to make a profit out of our black origins & History.

Example black character such as Usopp One piece.

however there have been great anime that have made our features positive one is Sol Bianca and others

Pokemon, Michiko Hatchin, Naruto & Carole And Tuesday.

Just like In Real Life, We As black people come in so many textures and beautiful complexions as you see in all of animation, & black-owned magazines, such as essence and this one Called Jet in the 1920s through Now celebrating our great culture.

We As Blerds, Black Fans & Cosplayers should have good content in which we can express, & be uplifted by our skin Personality & meaning itself, No matter what background or environment to which we dress, or cosplay a character that's out of our skin tone.

we come so far to the point where we have great indie creators, cosplayers even compays from hair products blogs Manga & comic books.

I'm glad that we are coming into our own and doing better but there's still work to be done, on how Hollywood treats us, and until we see the next all-black piece of media that's when we make it

(Carole & Tuesday, afro samurai & Yusuke on netflix prime example)

NEXT SEGMENT

We need more Black Hairstyles in animation & we need it more than ever.

The Hair Style Topic, oh yes its no big surprise that hair controversy within media has sparked in outrage,or made in impact throughout, be it in and out of workplaces or in the entertainment industry, I do feel at times things could've been handled with care.

From what I've seen we have gotten 2 steps forward, 4 steps back situation of all the controversies coming from the killmonger haircut that's been sported, which is a limited stifled hairdo on how we are only presented and how our hair can be made into cause it's a following trend, Because this is not the only distinct hairsyle to have Iin animated media, A Half Cut Mop will Not do So Put some Soul Glo & Let It Grow.

NOW you may wonder why i decided to put this post of a Disney main character of afro Latina background, well Luz Noceda I feel has great growth coming out to her friends and chosen family, however doesn't change the fact they didn't do anything for her to show ethnic representation other than speak Spanish, Having to show that aggressive Spicy latina Archetype to a Degree, & have a black father mention in season 2, having given no origin story or closure.

throughout the show this showed has shown great lgbt representation even though at times flawed, in the relationship area. ( another topic for a video COmING SOON) however the owl house has fall flat on ethnic & hair representation, Gus is a great example of a character being sidelined a lot too.

for instance luz noceda has been stifled into nothing but that pokemon goh knockoff haircut,

even though there may have been open-minded viewers,who agree on luz hair being styled effectively, making many statements that hair shows so many emotions in animation, Down below

That all hair on poc characters is a good is how you pull it off, in the picture below there tons of great characters in many hairdos complementing them.

sometimes i wish luz character could have handled by poc staff, and have her own break out like the rest of the female characters, cause I kid you not, I met a lot of non-gender-conforming characters or people, who sport many hair designs. It infuriates me such a beautiful person Luz Batista find out the pilot that her character was somewhat sidelined due to the writing Problems & Shipping and I'm baffled how of course white staff members didn't do their research on Afro Latina her cause Luz is beautiful

Knowing other shows such as Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur Do an incredible job of Discussing on how black hair is powerful, magical & comes in many shapes and intricate designs if you know what your doing and I for one have a graceful mother who a beautician coming from her,

We are in an era where black people shouldn't exist or we arent amount to anything and I too had my fair share of my hair being talked about in a nasty way,

This concludes the story post of how black representation should matter support shows out of mainstream like indie projects, cause there paving the way also a video post of my channel and The owl house debunk series thanks.

Now this is has been another topic post , right now getting ready for my epic momocon outing meeting Disney creators, and everything animation, hope everyone has a good one and all the links on good hair and my video post is here below, Have a Have a Nice Cruise & Stay Shining.

The next natural hair movement…….

If their is another Natural hair movement I don’t think it will be like 2016 movement but more of a lifestyle great example, like black women in luxury it’s a lifestyle.

I do think a lot of black women are at their breaking point when it comes to straight lace front wigs. I honestly believe the straight lace front wigs was to reverse the work that was done in 2010s natural hair movement . It was the biggest disguised agenda and a lot of people don’t see it as that. I’m talking about the lace front wigs that don’t mimic our natural hair. 

Honestly, my fear even if there was another natural hair movement, I feel as though due to lack of knowledge, Black people would completely do it wrong, because they have not completely full understood till this day about Texturism and the full representation of black women. 

I have seen more than ever a lot of Black women and girls being very texturist online actually a lot more than ever. It has been long overdue for another natural hair movement. Also, ever since the recession that we are currently having after the pandemic, there has been more discourse about natural hair. While, after every recession there is a new popular black hairstyle that black women lean onto.

I think the next movement with focus more on healthy hair, 4 type hair coily hair getting the recognition and love that it deserves. Focussing more on hair porosity such as low, high and medium hair porosity as it is important.

Well, I don’t think removing hairstyles like weaves and wigs are extremely necessary. However making it an enhancer instead of a diminishing ones beauty. What I mean by this is instead of a straight Brazilian, Peruvian, Malaysian weaves/wigs how about using Afro kinky curly sew in, clip ins, tape ins, and v/u wigs. There should be a push for this a lot more now that technology has advanced in regards to 4 type hair textures. A push for more hairstyles/ protective styles that look more authentically to black women and a lot how to properly use these protective styles for proper hair health/growth.

Also to add a push to perceive shorter 4 type natural hair as feminine for Black women. Fully emphasizing not using a negative terms and statements about natural hair. Fully and completely removing the the anti-black language towards natural hair.

If there will be another natural hair movement, it needs to focus on the representation for 4 type hair, shorter natural hair/locs, and fine natural hair. The movement need to be on a control social platform that comments can be control or have some type of control on the platform

Also, more educating for more hair porosity to help more black women on what hair products to use on their Natural as this is vital for the movement/lifestyle.

Let’s see what this generation picks tbh I don’t know if another natural hair movement will ever come back since it’s been almost about 10 years since the last one……

having the most off the wall 1am thoughts about blending cultures with changbin. it absolutely canon that he's going to help you take your braids out while songs like "if you wanna" by june marieezy play in the background because you've now put him on to neosoul music and the like. the afternoon sunlight pours in through the window while he takes a rat toothed comb and works through it. in fact, changbin is one of the best people to take out your hair. he loves it so much that he takes his time unraveling your aged twists that you find gross, expired, and in need of a deep wash day. he likes to see as little shed as possible, no matter how many times you tell him a normal amount of shed happens when taking down a style like braids.

"be patient." he'll tell you, taking more of the nearby oil and squeezing it on to help him gently comb out a small knot. "wow," he'll say at the end of it all, looking at the way your natural unbraided afro sits around your face, "its sooo big." he'll add, while gently touching the sides of it as if its a fragile cloud.

changbin hopes you two have children together, and despite how much you complain about your hair, he hopes they have something similar to yours. he feels like you can do so much more with a hair texture like yours than with one like his. he likes his mane, but he loves yours. changbin enjoys going through your records and finding new gems. you introduced him to erykah badu. he's welcome, by the way. and he'll turn it into a routine for you on sunday nights. you'll hear the brief static, the touch of the needle on vinyl and then erykah's voice while you're cooking up a sunday dinner just because the weather is getting cooler and you're in the mood to do it. he will always out-knowledge you in old-school hiphop in ways you will never understand. its his passion. he doesn't just rap, he's completely engrossed in the culture surrounding it, and pays a hefty amount of respect and appreciation to your culture for cultivating it to begin with. its cute, how he pays attention to what you like. he even lights your favorite incense.

changbin isn't a stranger to good food, with his cultural background, but when he gets a taste of your collard greens and hammocks, cornbread, baked turkey legs with homemade gravy, fall off the bone ribs, potato salad, linguini and devilled eggs? he's gotten himself in the mix now and won't be able to find his way out, going into the kitchen for seconds, a compliment to the chef--you.

can't say you've ever had a partner who has dropped a plop of kimchi on collards and stuffed it in his face with a pair of chopsticks until you dated changbin. and after he showers, a towel around his waist, the mirror foggy in the bathroom, he'll notice you've gotten a new hair product, and he'll pick it up, sit down on the closed toilet seat, and read it, before he'll open the door and yell, "babe?"

“yeah?" "can i use your rosemary oil spray in my hair?" you'll laugh, "yeah its really good for growth, but not too much." changbin's hair is incredibly thick, and naturally wavy, but if he puts too much of your product in, it'll weigh his locks down, so he always has to ask if its okay first. the first time you allowed him to use your honey leave-in conditioner, he was so greasy, it stained his favorite shirt!

speaking of showers, once changbin learned what you were getting up to in the bathroom for so long afterwards; completely lotioning your body with high quality butters, he's fake offended by the intel. how dare you struggle to rub lotion onto your back when your very willing partner is there at your disposal?

and of course changbin gets carried away when he's rubbing you down with your smellgoods. when he works it under the cuff of your cheeks, his thumbs graze your cunt, and he can feel the heat emanating from it. he's definitely going to slide either his fingers or his tongue up next, giving you a reason to have to shower all over again.

your family at the labor day cookouts love him. you'll try to coax your teenage nephews to stop horseplaying when things are getting too rough in the pool, bouncing from foot to foot in the chest height water, changbin's arms around your waist. "yo, come on stop it!" you'll splash, but they're teenage boys, they act like they don't hear you. oh but they'll hear changbin.

"yah!" he starts off, brow furrowed, rattling off in korean for the first four words until he stumbles and stutters over his speech, switching back to english, "you don't hear your aunt?"

"sorry unc."

now you have their attention. "i'm not tryna be a wet blanket but if yall are gonna do that, don't do it in the deep, someone can drown."

and later in the night when you're with your cousins, drinking wine, changbin is outside, under the string lights and next to the tiki torch, seated in those cookout white plastic chairs, brawny arms crossed over his chest as he smiles, laughing at the parts of the story he catches between your uncles that rope him in on the jokes every so often.

they liked changbin the moment he joined them for a game of pool.

Octoling hair hcs

There are two big differences between Octoling and inkling hair that form the foundation for the diversity in Octoling hair

1. Octolings have prehensile tentacles so they naturally tend to tangle within each other.

2. When Octoling tentacles spend a prolonged amount of time in contact with each other they will merge into a larger tentacle, this can be seen in the Octoling idols Shiver and Marina. Octolings are born with hundreds of tiny tentacles that over time merge into around 6 tentacles by adulthood, this gives many octoling children frizzy looking hair when they are young, after 6 tentacles are formed they typically are separated enough to avoid merging, however hair that is not detangled semi-often will fuse into even fewer tentacles eventually becoming a mono-tentacle, these can appear a single long tentacle or even certain shapes like the afro that some Octolings adorn.

(Inkling growth cycle for reference)

The merging of tentacles has historical significance as hair is seen as traditionally important to Octolings, (This is why the short/shaved hairstyles of Octolings have infested the punk scene). In the modern day, this tradition has stayed strong in the Splatlands but was less popular in the Octo Valley until recently. The drop in popularity was likely due to tentacles needing to be cut off to create new Octarians and supply the army during the war.

To use the previously mentioned idols as an example of the versatility in Octoling hair, Shiver has a very unique hairstyle having cut off the tentacles on the right side of her head and merged the remaining ones into a mono-tentacle, she likely uses a wide-toothed comb to comb the ends every morning to avoid the natural curls that the tentacles tend to form into after they begin to move. Due to having the ability to merge, repeatedly using a comb on Octoling hair does not cause the same damage it would to inkling hair. There are products that can temporarily paralyze tentacles allowing one to straighten them out however we can tell that Shiver doesn't use these due to appearance of suckers on the tentacle, suckers grow on mature and healthy tentacles that one must continuously cut off if they want to retain a smooth look.

Marina has a look that has become very popular among younger Octolings in Inkopolis after Off the Hook's rise to fame and due to it's low maintenance in contrast to the complicated maintenance that Octoling hair usually has. First the tentacles are parted, this can be difficult because the hair close to the scalp has typically been merged together for quite some time (that is why many Octolings start this hairstyle at a young age), this step is very important however because the parting will determine the number of tentacles that they grow into, from there they are either braided, twisted, or tied together they will eventually merge together. From there the Octoling will periodically have to apply an oil-based cream to prevent the tentacles from merging as the detangling process can ruin the merging of tentacles. Another aspect of the popularity of this style is due to the unique way they can develop, If your tentacles have been seperated into less than 6 parts they might split while growing, this new growth can be retwisted back into the tentacle but some people may leave it this way to create a unique look (This may be the reason for the spiky look that Shiver has). Also due to the fact that this hair is mostly left alone and allowed to grow, it encourages the growth of suckers. Finally this hair's curliness varies from person to person, due to the weight of the tentacle some people like Marina may have long and wavy tentacles that move freely while others may have hair that just grows into loops over and over with very little natural movement from the tentacles.

Small Notes.

Detangling

The process of detangling merged tentacles is long and somewhat painful, if an Octoling wants to retain styles that have multiple tentacles tied closely together they must apply the previously mentioned oils and avoid large amounts of water such as heavy rain or pools.

What about Inklings?

It is ill-advised by most hair experts to attempt Octoling hairstyles with inkling hair. Because Inkling tentacles are not prehensile it can be difficult to mimic the curly nature of Octolings, attempting to force Inkling tentacles into this may cause damage. Furthermore, some inklings may try to replicate the merging of by applying small amounts of water to tentacles or poking them with needles to cause them to loosen and release ink before wrapping them in plastic until they merge into a larger tentacle. This is possible but one can easily damage their tentacle or splat themselves if they're not careful. Even if successful your hair may not merge properly causing it to stick outwards or become extremely frizzy. If you intend to merge your tentacles it is highly advised that you get it done by a professional and to either repeatedly merge the tentacles or take the style down after some time, this is because unlike Octoling tentacles which may only split sometimes when there is less than 6 tentacles, Inkling tentacles do not naturally merge, this means that all new growth will be split no matter what when it grows in.

Natural Hair Care – A Comprehensive Guide

Natural haircare routines are essential to keeping locks looking their best and healthy. Finding a style that works for you and sticking to it are the keys to successful locks care.

Afro-textured hair presents unique challenges when it comes to styling and maintenance. Many women turn to natural hair regimens to address these concerns.

Understanding Your Hair Type

Before embarking on your natural hair journey, you must understand what type of texture your hair possesses. Doing this will enable you to choose an appropriate style and care for it appropriately.

Although many people use various products on their hair, reducing this use will help promote healthier growth. Selecting natural options tailored to your hair texture will simplify styling.

If your straight hair tends to get oily quickly, using dry shampoo might help control the excess production of oils. Or you could try applying a light serum that distributes oils evenly across your scalp.

If you have wavy or curly locks, lightweight mousse or curl-defining cream is an excellent way to style them. Remember not to add too much product, as too much can weigh down and lead to frizz. To keep strands looking smooth and manageable, avoid combing too often and opt for protective styles like braids or weaves; styling gel can also add definition.

The Importance of a Balanced Diet for Hair Health

Beginning the journey to healthier hair starts with eating well. According to trichologist Guy Parsons, healthy hair can be defined as “hair that grows from each follicle in an orderly fashion and aligns well with an intact scalp.”

He suggests including high-protein foods into your diet, such as sardines (which have low saturated fat content), mackerel, and salmon, as they contain omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and vitamin B2 B3 D which all play an integral part in keeping hair strands healthy.

Avoid over-washing, as this can strip natural oils from your hair, leaving strands looking dry. Parsons recommends a natural shampoo free from sulfates and alcohol for best results.

Natural hair care ingredients, like aloe vera, tea tree oil, and apple cider vinegar, can help balance your scalp’s pH level, reduce inflammation, and kill any dandruff-causing fungus that might otherwise exist on your strands. They may even add shine. Lastly, drink plenty of water throughout the day to hydrate strands properly and prevent breakage or split ends; adding leave-in conditioner or hydrating spray into your routine can further assist this goal.

Natural Ingredients for Hair Care

As you establish a hair care routine, search for natural ingredients that nourish and protect your strands. Renewable botanical oils like shea butter, jojoba oil, and argan oil help keep your scalp’s natural oils intact while shielding the ends of strands from damage. Utilizing such natural remedies reduces your need for harsh chemicals that could otherwise dry out and flake out your locks, causing itchy follicles or flaky scalps.

Avoid products containing sulfates as these substances have been known to irritate skin and cause genetic mutation. If possible, seek natural products labeled “sulfate-free.”

Tea tree oil is another fantastic ingredient to look out for when selecting shampoo and conditioner products, as it stimulates hair follicles to promote growth while profoundly nourishing hair and scalp. Aloe vera also plays an integral role in maintaining healthy scalp conditions. At the same time, its low molecular weight allows it to penetrate hair strands to leave soft, smooth locks with healthy-looking locks.

DIY Natural Hair Masks

There are a few natural hair products you can incorporate into your routine to protect it from damage, such as:

NaturAll’s deep conditioning treatment for dry, thirsty tresses is perfect for parched locks. It contains raw avocado – known for its hydrating properties – and organic tea tree oil to prevent infections and deep conditioning agents that will keep your locks hydrated all day.

BeautyKLove’s shampoo scrub may provide an easy remedy for oily scalp. This DIY recipe features baking soda to remove build-up. At the same time, apple cider vinegar closes the cuticle and prevents frizz by closing hair cuticles – leaving your locks smoother and less susceptible to frizz than before!

This natural hair mask is an excellent solution for anyone with damaged locks, thanks to the combination of avocado (known for its nourishing properties), coconut oil, and essential oils such as thyme for stimulating growth, rosemary for decreasing protein loss, and lavender to soothe your scalp. Furthermore, Boucleme contributes back to its local community by sourcing its ingredients from there.

How to Protect Your Hair from Damage

Establishing an effective natural hair routine is critical to keeping your locks healthy. Regular deep conditioning treatments help hydrate dry, brittle strands and replenish their essential natural oils that may have been stripped from them during shampooing.

Ensure not to overwash your strands, which may lead to product buildup. Instead, wash once or twice weekly using lukewarm water for best results.

Limit heat exposure, as overexposure can lead to brittleness in your hair using protective styles like braids, bantu knots, puffs, or wash-and-go styles.

No matter the situation, natural products offer solutions. From shampoo that helps combat dandruff to conditioner that will bring moisture back into your strands and even hair masks that repair damage – there is something suitable for everyone in your search for natural beauty solutions! By sticking to your routine, you can achieve your best look ever while maintaining health – good luck and congratulations on achieving an authentic natural style!

Tips for Natural Hair Styling

Two-strand twists are one of the most sought-after natural hairstyles, as they’re straightforward and leave your locks looking lush and healthy.

There are numerous approaches to accomplish this look, but here are a few suggestions:

Tip 1: Do not overwash your hair; this can strip it of its natural oils and lead to product build-up. Instead, try washing with lukewarm water once weekly for best results.

When washing your hair, always opt for a high-quality shampoo free from sulfates, mineral oil, and parabens as these ingredients can harm the scalp and hair follicles. A natural hair shampoo will hydrate and protect locks while clearing away dirt or oils that build up from daily activities – this will also help to ensure healthier locks! To further ensure healthy locks, it is also essential to utilize deep conditioner after each wash session while limiting heat exposure, as these will all help foster good hair habits.

Maintaining Hair Health: Do’s and Don’ts

As someone new to natural haircare, it may take time to master proper care of your strands. From overwashing to overusing products, common errors could harm the condition of your natural curls.

As always, we’re here to help you avoid these errors and foster vibrant, beautiful locks with healthy locks that look vibrant. From switching up shampoos and scheduling regular haircuts, here are a few tips for maintaining natural beauty.

Be sure to use a wide-tooth comb when detangling, and keep strands hydrated with oil, spritzes, and DIY packs. Furthermore, try to stick to a routine of trimming ends at least every eight weeks, keeping strands strong and preventing split ends from becoming knotted up. Furthermore, avoid products containing sulfates and phosphates, which can strip your scalp of its natural oils and lead to dry, itchy locks; instead, opt for organic products with natural ingredients.

While plenty of advice may be available on natural haircare, not all approaches work equally. What may work for one person may not necessarily work for you; therefore, it is crucial that you experiment and find what best fits you and your specific routine.

do you know how to make afro hair longer mine just gets smaller and dry 🥲 (i want to get dreads)

Okay so my hair is both permed and dyed so that does effect my hair growth but I have found the times my hair does grow quite fast and long is when I minimize heat and the manipulation of my hair. It's permed so it does dry straight so i don't have to do much too it and I can just put in hair clips or a headband and call it a do. My best friend also does low manipulation and she cut her hair around January and it is soooooo long right now and she just conditions, deep conditions and does oil treatments and uses leave in conditioner I really like John Freida but she uses Chi. I only use heat on my hair on wash day once a week, today was my wash day also used it as a spa day, I used three different lotions for some reason but im super soft and smell like candy. I also only use conditioner I find shampoo thins the hell out of my hair, I also prefer Japanese hair products cause a lot of black hair products have way too much protein in it for me and makes my hair so dry and brittle. Also Japanese hair products have camellia oil which is my favorite hair oil, I actually hate coconut oil with a passion, one it blocks your follicles and if you're sensitive to protein like me, it makes my hair so dry. Also heard Jamaican black castor oil is good for growth. Also maybe try twists or faux dreads first to see how you'll like it.

Celebrating Diversity: Understanding Different Hair Growth Patterns Across Ethnicities

Hair is a unique aspect of human diversity that can tell us a lot about our ethnic origins. The way our hair grows, how it’s cared for, and the styles we can achieve are all influenced by our cultural and genetic backgrounds. In the modern beauty and healthcare industry, it’s crucial to appreciate and cater to this rich variety. This article is both a celebration of ethnic hair diversity and a guide to understanding the various growth patterns.

The Science of Different Hair Types

Human hair comes in a diverse array of types, including straight, wavy, curly, and kinky. These varieties are determined by the shape of the hair follicle. Typically, straight hair grows from perfectly round follicles, wavy hair from an oval shape, and kinky or curly hair from a more elliptical follicle. The follicle structure not only affects hair type but also hair resilience and vitality.

Straight Hair

Straight hair is often characterized by its smooth texture and the way it reflects light. While it tends to be oily, straight hair can be more prone to breakage due to its follicle shape. Asian and European hair types often feature straight growth patterns.

Curly and Kinky Hair

Curly and kinky hair grow in a more twisted, coiled manner, due to the naturally elliptical shape of the hair follicles. This hair type can often endure more dryness but is also more resilient to damage and can hold styles well. It is commonly found in people of African descent.

Wavy Hair

Wavy hair sits between the straight and curly types, with follicle shapes allowing for gentle waves that add body and texture to the hair. This type is often found in individuals from Middle Eastern and Mediterranean backgrounds.

The Cultural Significance of Hair

Hair has deep cultural significance and symbolism across various ethnic groups. It is not just about genetic traits, it's a part of identity, expression, and heritage. For example, within the African diaspora, natural hair, often in the form of Afros, braids, or dreadlocks, symbolizes a strong connection to African roots and resistance to European beauty standards. In contrast, within Asian cultures, long, straight hair has been traditionally associated with beauty, femininity, and grace.

Ethnically-Targeted Hair Care

Acknowledging hair diversity is pivotal in hair care products and routines. For instance, shampoo and conditioner formulations are being crafted to suit specific needs ranging from moisture balance in coiled hair to enhancing and defining curls. There’s also a surge in ethnic-specific salons and experts that provide not just services, but also education on ethnic hair care.

Understanding and celebrating the diversity of hair growth patterns across ethnicities is more than just a touchy-feely, politically correct endeavor—it's a crucial aspect of good healthcare and customer satisfaction in the beauty industry. Tailoring products and treatments to the unique needs of different hair types can foster greater inclusivity and improve results. By learning about the multitude of hair types and textures, we not only enrich our ability to care for ourselves and others but also broaden our appreciation of the rich tapestry that is human diversity.

super sleepy girl this weekend. my hair is so so tangled and I've been slowly working on undoing the style and gently detangling my hair because my hair actually grew back very fast. I was in doubt, and I still have density issues at the back but I used my barber mirror to see how it looked and it looked so full and healthy from all angles so it really is so. and my head is like ??? because I grew my hair to the point it took me so many years to reach in the past, in 18 ish months since cutting all my messed up hair off. if only I could see that picture from the summer in idaho when I was out of that relationship, very overweight and all my hair had broken off. omg. what a time. never again. but yeah, I promised butt length by 25 - I don't know how realistic it is with me only starting my growth journey again 18 months ago. but I definitely think that by 25 I will be at a length that I am genuinely comfortable wearing out in afro form. I will not be touching color again anytime soon if ever (I really think the color damage, plus bad products for my hair, neglect, then the sewins and locs back to back ruined my hard work) but most of it needed to go anyway. I want my hair to flourish, triple in size and length and literally feel like rapunzel. I can't wait to get there. but for today, Im going to finish my class, start getting ready for the final, do a lot of reading, order ice attire and tickets, skate for a few hours and maybe draw. oh and travel agent stuff. gotta move my life forward.
