Download or read book A Beginner s Guide to Natural Hair Care written by Nuria Mari and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-17 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first thing you need to know about hair care, is, the hair care product manufacturer is not your friend. Yes, that is why it's not a problem for them to include ingredients like sulphates and parabens in their formulations. Even though they know that Sulphates will probably leave you looking twice your age in a few years, and parabens can make it difficult for you to get pregnant, or increase your risks of developing breast cancer, they still use these ingredients anyway. A company's gotta make some cheddar you know. Hair care manufacturing companies are not non-profit organizations. Their major goal for setting up shop is to get that mulla. But the, your hair is said to be your crowning glory, and it's normal to want to improve your hair if it's not to your satisfaction. You see, in order to grow and maintain your natural hair, you must have a perfect understanding of what natural hair is. There are many definitions of the term "natural hair," but I'll let you in on the most common definition, and the one we'll talk about most often in this book. "Natural hair is a relaxer-free hair. It differs greatly from chemical-free hair. on the surface, chemicals are often considered as toxic and dangerous, but this is usually not the case most of the time. Most of the chemicals that you use on your hair are harmless and perfectly safe." The perfect model for black natural hair is the African American natural hair. It is sometimes tagged as "nappy hair" that needs to be corrected with a relaxer. We've heard stories of women facing some form of discrimination in their workplace and in religious settings due to their hairstyles. It is said that some employers consider these hairstyles unprofessional, while religious leaders consider it as a sign of immorality. Many have been denied promotions or jobs because of their natural hair. And the big one - it has caused issues in many relationships. A Beginner's Guide to Natural Hair Care is about teaching you what you need to know about your natural hair and providing you with the right information and resources to help you grow that beautiful hair you've always wanted. I've done a very intensive research on this subject because I want to give you the opportunity to learn how best to care for your natural hair. Of course, one of the best ways to learn is by reading and analyzing the experiences of others. What's more? You get encouraged when you see the photos of women with their beautiful and well-groomed natural hair, while they testify and speak positively about their hair care journey. These testimonies are evidence that you also can be successful if you can invest the energy and the time into learning the right techniques of natural hair care. Is there a reason you're struggling on your hair care journey? Some of the tips given online are faulty. That's it! You see, many product manufacturers or hair advisors will stress that you have to search for and find the perfect products (usually tagged holy grail products). Some may say that you have to understand a specific technique, like the baggy method or protective styling, before you can record some degree of success in your natural hair journey. If you've tried these techniques without success, then you probably know that the tips you're following are nothing more than generic recycled advice. That's the primary reason why I wrote A Beginner's Guide to Natural Hair Care. The tips in this book are based on a well-crafted blueprint for having a successful natural hair journey. If you need long-term results, then this book is for you. It will help you build a solid foundation that will guarantee you success for life on your natural hair journey. Cheers to your beautiful, black, natural hair.
