Keeping your hair natural is a very beautiful experience. Your hair feels so real and you get the feeling of originality.

Most times, relatives, friends, and stylists utter statements like ‘keeping your hair natural is a very hard task’. Some other times, they conclude ‘its not possible to maintain a natural hair’.

Well I got good news for you; caring for your natural hair is as good as caring for any other thing, and really not as difficult as people say.

Before I got writing this, I heard a lot of girls ask questions like,

‘How can I maintain my natural hair?

‘How can my hair grow longer? ‘

What are the things I need for my hair?

Its for this reason I took care to prepare this natural hair guide and it is my hope that it comes handy for you.

If you follow this natural hair guide, you will be shocked at how well your hair will grow and look.

Follow me carefully because I will be taking you through not just how to care for your hair, most of which are from my own experiences. I will also show you the required tools at each phase.

How do I grow my natural hair?

Here are six tips to care for and grow your natural hair.

1.  Use a big tooth comb

Every natural hair girl needs a big tooth comb. The natural hair grows curly from the scalp, so there is every possibility for your hair to tangle most times.

The big tooth comb helps for easy combing. While combing, you have to be as gentle as possible so you don’t cut your hair from its root.

Ever wondered why some hair looks really full in size?

Well the trick is gentle combing with a big tooth comb.

Mind you, frequent combing of your hair should be avoided to prevent your hair breaking. However, you can use small tooth comb when styling your hair.

But it shouldn’t be used for combing if keeping and maintaining your natural hair is your utmost desire.

2. Use a spray bottle

If you want to maintain your natural hair, the importance of using a spray bottle cannot be over-emphasized. Your spray bottle is very essential if you want to keep your hair looking good.

Always ensure your spray bottle contains just water, because water helps to hydrate your hair and keep it healthy. A bonus is that your hair stays beautiful all the time.

A spray bottle is the easiest means to apply water to your hair. Also, a spray bottle comes handy when you need to comb your hair.

Ever wondered why some girls find it easy to comb their hair?

The trick is this;

• part your hair into small segments.
• Apply water using your spray bottle before combing each segment.

This trick softens your hair and aids easy combing.

3.  Use a satin cap

Your natural hair needs a satin cap(a nylon-like cap). This helps your hair to stay in shape.

You can use your satin cap to get oil, water and other products settled in your hair quickly. When you style your hair and need it to stay in shape, your satin cap can do the job.

Basically, when its bed time, a lot of girls struggle with what to cover their hair with. The satin cap can also do this job effectively.

4. Apply hair oil

For your hair to have the proper care it deserves, hair oil is very vital. These oil are the best for natural hair.

I recommend coconut oil, olive oil, and almond oil for your hair as I have tried these on my own hair. Though there are other healthy hair oil out there that I haven’t tried.

Oil go a long way in moisturizing your hair, which enhances softness and growth.

When you care for your body, you apply cream so you can glow. Same is applicable to your hair.

When you apply oil to your hair, you make it glow ever more.

5. Use shampoo and conditioner

Shampoo/Conditioner are very useful during wash days. Caring for your natural hair means washing your hair when due, so a wash day should always be on your time table.

The shampoo and conditioner are necessities for washing your hair properly.

While the shampoo is used to remove dirt, oil and other products from the surface and scalp of your hair. A conditioner replenish those oil, giving a moisturizing boost to your hair.

In addition, the conditioner also softens your hair for easy combing.

Using a shampoo and conditioner on your hair is an all-important way to make your natural hair look neat and soft always.

6.  Use rubber bands/bobby pins

Having a messy hair is not proper care for your hair. The rubber band helps to pack your hair in various sizes, while the pins helps to style your hair.

Effective use of both the rubber bands and pins will keep your hair from being messy.

I’m sure you wouldn’t want your hair looking all messy, would you?

When using the rubber band, make sure its not too tight, because if it is, your hair can likely break when its time for a comb.

So avoid packing your hair too tight.

7.  Make safe hair styles

Making safe hair styles in this context means, styles that does not involve taking too much of your front hair or styles that needs your hair stylist to hold your hair very tight.

Those hair styles are detrimental to the growth of your natural hair.

When you don’t have an official outing, weaving or twisting your natural hair is very friendly.

But if you have official duties, especially if you are a working class, making styles that don’t take much of your front hair and styles that are not too tight will make your hair really happy.

8.  Trim your hair

The act of trimming your natural hair is very healthy and a lot of people really do not know this trick.

When you trim your hair, you remove the dead edge off your hair. This way, combing is made easy growth enhanced.

Trimming your hair once in every three months will help your hair massively.

You can also care for your hair with natural products if you know them.

Let’s see how you can care for your hair with products.

What happens if I don’t care for my hair?

Lack of proper hair care can lead to a variety of hair problems like excessive dandruff on the hair (trust me, they can be very troubling).

Lack of hair care can also encourage hair lice to feed and live on your scalp (yikes, this is the worst). It can also lead to extreme hair breakage and stunted growth.

That can also deteriorate your health. See my guide on: how to maintain a healthy life.

Your hair is a delicate part of your body and its to be treated with utmost care.

There are several ways of taking care of your hair, especially if you don’t style it often – if your hair is natural; it deserves a more delicate treatment.

Can I use hair products?

In any hair treatment you embark on, always have it in mind that natural (organic) hair products are the best. They have little or no side effects.

You just have to choose the one that’s suited for your hair type. Ensure you check your allergies to avoid any harsh treatment.

There are several organic hair products out in the market or even superstores and hair salons (they are basically everywhere).

While some are for treating hair breakage, others are for treating dandruff. Some for extra hair shine while others are for enhanced hair growth.

The best part about treating your hair naturally is that it fits into your budget without excessive adjustments. They are very effective if applied consistently and correctly.

What natural products can grow my hair?

Below is a list of organic products to quickly grow your hair.

These products have been tested and tried by people I know and they are effective for hair growth, shine, treating dandruff and hair breakage.

1. Carrot

Some people might be wondering what carrot can possibly do to one’s hair. It will interest you to know that carrot is embedded with vitamin A which has lots of benefits for your hair.

Vitamin A (in this case from carrot) makes hair stronger, thicker and longer. It improves the circulation of blood in the body.

This in turn makes your hair healthy and delays the growth of grey hair.

You can decide to use carrot oil for your hair or simply make a carrot mask and apply all over your scalp. Wash it off with a mild shampoo after 20-30 minutes.

2. Orange

This may sound strange to some people. But the vitamin C and riboflavonoid in oranges can aid proper blood circulation in your scalp. This in turn stimulates hair growth.

Consumption of oranges can boost hair growth.

3. Almond

Almond makes the hair shiny, strong, and soft.

Regular hair massage with almond oil can enhance the growth of really soft and non-frizzy hair.

It also delays the growth of grey hair, particularly for people who don’t want grey hair too soon.

4. Avocado

Avocado does wonders to the hair. Its not only delicious, avocado oil regenerates and moisturizes the scalp.

It is enriched with protein, amino acid, and vitamins that help soothe the scalp and promote the growth of a long, strong and healthy hair.

It can be used as a hair mask mixed with other natural products like egg yolk and honey.

5. Banana

Bananas are a great remedy for the treatment and prevention of dandruff. They are also great moisturizers.

They help to soften the hair, protect your hair’s natural elasticity, thereby preventing hair breakage and split ends

6. Egg

Eggs are one of the most beneficial natural products that are great for your hair.

The amazing thing about using egg as a natural remedy for hair is that both the egg white and yolk are very useful in different ways to the hair.

Egg yolks, according to a reliable source, is rich in vitamins that make hair more resistant to damage. The yolk is especially useful to moisturize hair that appears dry.

Egg yolks have been described as a treatment for strengthening hair.

Moreover, a sizeable amount of people still use egg yolks and whites to treat hair that is dry or damaged.

7. Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera contains proteolytic enzymes which repairs damaged cells on the scalp. It also acts as a great conditioning agent and leaves your hair all smooth and shiny.

In all, aloe Vera helps prevent hair itching, enhances hair growth and fights off dandruff.

8. Coconut

I’m sure you must have come across coconut oil somehow. Because its quite popular these days and you must have also heard that its the remedy for stagnant hair growth.

The good news is that what you heard about coconut oil is true. It’s very effective and also affordable.

Coconut oil is mainly used to grow hair naturally.

When you go out to get coconut oil, make effort to get the one that is undiluted.

Pure coconut oil works best for all hair types.

9. Cucumber

The last one on my list is the quite unpopular cucumber juice. It contains silicon and sulphur which all-together ends hair fall and promotes healthy hair.

Cucumber juice is absolutely good for your hair. So, if you are having a problem with hair breakage and split ends, cucumber juice is your last call.
