Caring for natural hair

Wacuka Thimba, natural hair blogger

"When I started going natural and reading widely about it, that's when I realised that some of the hair regimens we have are not healthy for the hair at all. I mean, a lot of Nairobi women are always in weaves and braids. This is supposed to be a protective hairstyle. So why is it that they have short and damaged hair?" Wacuka asks.

She advises that the first thing in having healthy hair is in accepting it as it is. This will help you know the moisture-to-protein balance levels of your hair. The next step is to use products that do not harm or strip your hair of its natural oils.
