Sometimes we can find ourselves tiring of our natural hair journey.  This is a second installment of my "Hair Inspiration."  I have scoured the virtual world to share with you some inspiration.  Long, short, wavy, coily, kinky and nappy, natural hair expresses the soul of the woman who it adorns. I Natural Hair: Afro-textured  hair  is a term used to refer to the  natural hair  texture of certain populations in Africa, the African diaspora and Asia, when this  hair  has not been altered by hot combs, flat irons, or chemicals (through perming, relaxing, or straightening).

I saw a young lady (Daneja) from a former church congregation wearing one and thought it looked quite well on her.  I always loved the look of a head wrap but just could not get the hang of doing so! These head wraps are being sold for $18.00 each and she has a fairly large selection to choose from.   The scarves comes in a few type of weaves.  One type is called an open weave.  The scarves are described to be weaved so that they will grip even fine hair which allows the scarf to not fall are loosen while wearing.  A big plus when trying to wear a head scarf all day without having to keep adjusting throughout the day.   ...

Curlier and wavier naturals will tend to experience much more shrinkage due to their curl pattern. I have 3c/4 textured hair. The front and top have a looser curl pattern.  My usual regiment for my wash n' go is to wash (or co-wash), condition, leave-in, and then apply the gel or styling agent of choice. The shrinkage is about 75%! Picture By:  longhairdontcare.com As seen by this picture, hair in it's curly state, reaches comfortably at the top of her shoulder. However, when the truth is shown, look at the blown out and straighten side that screams out luxurious length. Her tresses, in length, is almost DOUBLE her natural curly state!

Grey Crystal Glass Headband https://www.etsy.com/listing/185127846/dark-grey-crystal-headband?ref=shop_home_feat_1 I realized that some products work at certain hair lengths for me and some simply don't work in certain whether conditions.  This makes having great hair days a manipulation act.  One that no matter how often practice can slip into a hot mess if the wrong combination of products are used.  It's like perfecting one's steps to a favorite song.
