What ‘s happened to the love for natural black hair?  Ok, as a people we’ve always had some issues about the hair on our heads but there was also a time when we spoke loudly and proudly about loving our natural hair.

Have you taken a look at the damage that’s being done to our scalp and hair all because we want to have straight hair?  I understand self-expression and creativity but what about the health of your scalp?

When we take a look at the skin we’re in it includes the scalp on your head.  It’s already been proven that relaxers and chemical straighteners are doing untold damage to our scalps and even penetrating to the skull.  Wow, what we won’t do for beauty.

For those of you who’d like to tell me to shove it, will you at least take a look at the ingredients that are being used in your black hair care products?  And more importantly will you treat your scalp as if it were your face, after all skin care doesn’t stop at your hairline.

Natural Black Hair Care and Great Ingredients

Let’s take a look at some of the ingredients that will at least help with the caring of your hair whether it’s natural or relaxed:

Olive Oil – Not only does olive oil condition your hair, it nourishes and improves the strength and elasticity of your hair.

Coconut Oil – Coconut oil provides natural nutrition for your hair and scalp.  It helps in healthy hair growth and the re-growth of damaged hair.   And when used as massage oil for your scalp it ensures that your scalp is free of dandruff, lice and lice eggs.

Rosemary Essential Oil – Rosemary essential oil is found in many preparations for your hair and scalp.  It’s often combined with Lavender, Chamomile and Tea Tree in shampoos and conditioners for your hair.

Rosemary is said to increase cellular metabolism thereby stimulating healthy hair growth from your scalp.  By adding a few drops to a base oil, such as olive oil or coconut oil, you are creating a conditioning oil for your hair.

You can also use it as a hot oil treatment.   Just remember, if you’re adding the essential oil to a base oil, allow it to rest/sit for 24 hours in a cool dry place, and then you can add it to your hair care regimen for your hair and scalp.

Finally…

While these ingredients are just a few of what you’d look for in a hair care product, know that great skin and great hair, begins from within.
