Natural Hair FAQ

How can I make my curls pop?

Have realistic expectations for the curl definition your natural hair is able to achieve. A woman with 4b hair is going to have totally different curl definition than someone with a 3c hair type. You can enhance your curls by making sure they are thoroughly moisturized, with products like Aloe, and allowing your hair enough setting time.

I want to grow longer hair faster, what do I do?

Growing long hair requires patience and gentle care. Hair only grows ½ inch per month, so don’t set yourself up for disappointment. Keeping your hair moisturized, implementing protective styling, proper detangling, and time will give you the progress that you seek to achieve.

I am running out of style ideas for my short natural hair, any suggestions?

Most of us feel we are limited when our hair is at a shorter length, but there really are an abundance of short natural hair styles that you can choose from.  Hair styles include comb or finger coils, afro pony tails faked with a stretchy headband, two strand twists, rod sets, and more. Our sister site ShortNaturalHairstyle.com has tons of great style inspiration.

Do I have to do the big chop to go natural?

No, you do not. If you are uncomfortable with a shorter hair style, then you can slowly transition and when you are ready you can cut the remainder of chemical processed ends off.

To give your hair a more consistent look rod sets, roller sets, and pin curls are your best friends. Your ends are going to remain straight while the root of your hair will be curly, using rollers will help you to have a blended look.
