Too Hot for the Hot Comb!

The weather’s heating up and in a minute, it’s gonna be too hot for the hot comb! By that I mean it’ll be too hot to sit in the hair shop, too hot to bring out the pressing combs and flat irons, and way too hot to sweat it all out in a few days…or hours! I know those do’s are cute and it’s all a part of ur swag and all, but honestly, open your mind up to some natural hair styles that you can even do yourself. And, if you’re worried about where natural hair styles falls on the trendy spectrum, and trust me, you’re good.

Besides the fact that these alternative hair styles are cooler on the scalp and healthier for your hair, the next best thing about natural hair styles is that you can do them yourself. Because most of these styles are unstructured and use the “grab and go” parting method, you don’t have to stress about trying to make it look like it was professionally done. Let’s free up our pockets and break out of our not-so-natural hair habits.

You can achieve these natural hair-do’s right at home. All you need are your combs, brushes, and your favorite lightweight hair product (styling waxes, detanglers, non-alcoholic gels, setting lotion, etc.) and your ready to go to work. Let these ladies show you how it can be done…

Tips & Tricks

So fresh and so clean, clean-always start with a clean head. Get rid of the residue from the previous weeks’ and start with a fresh scalp.

A little dab will do ya-don’t use too many hair products. It may not seem like it at first, but too much of any one thing will weigh your hair down and limit the longevity of your natural style

Let the frizzies free-as your natural hair styles wear over time, don’t take it down and do it over, just wear it…The messier, the better!
