4 Reasons to Be a Naturalista

Growing out your natural hair is not only a fabulous way to showcase your true tresses, but also a much healthier way to grow your hair long especially if your hair is prone to perms and harsh chemical damage. If you’re pursuing your journey as a naturalista, then you will see that it can be daunting sometimes as well as very rewarding. Naturalista is a slang word for people who wear their natural hair as it grows out their head and the term is usually associated with “kinky” afro curly hair.

The following are the perks of growing your natural hair:


1. Healthier hair
When growing your natural hair you will need patience and perseverance in order to reach your goals, and in the long run you can enjoy healthier natural hair. Hair is healthier when you avoid harsh chemicals and ingredients as found in relaxers, perms and colour treatments.

2. Easy to style
Whilst you may have waves, ringlets, s-curls or z-patterns, you will find that there are several ways to style your hair naturally. You can enjoy protective and quick protective styles like “two-strand twists”, “braids”, “cornrows” or simply pining it halfway or wearing a cure hair band.


3.Longer hair
Perms and relaxers may seem to make thick curly hair easier to manage, but in the long run it can cause excessive damage which in the end leads to brakeage and hair loss in some cases like bald patches even. Wearing weaves and extensions over a long period of time can also cause a receding hairline and cause breakage as the original hair is tightly braided to accommodate the weave. Without these aspects in play and with patience and care your natural hair can grow out long and healthy.


4.Fashionable
It seems in this age the “big hair” concept is at the top of every season’s fashion list, from runway models to clothing catalogues, big hair on men and women can be seen all over. If you got it why not flaunt it!


So if you’re a naturalista rocking your natural hair why not go ahead and enjoy because it’s all yours naturally! :)
