Welcome back to our natural hair series, where we explore and celebrate black natural kinky, curly hair. In this session, we will explore colouring natural hair and how you can do this safely without damage. Similar to the increased interest of individuals cutting their hair during the lockdown, anyone on social media must have seen an increased number of videos of young girls colouring their hair. There is something captivating and exciting about changing your hair; if you feel like doing that, you have the freedom to do so. We just want to make sure that you colour your hair safely.

As a woman, tired eyes can give you a worn-out look even if your skincare regime is top-notch.

Remember that younger version of you? She could stay up all night and wake up looking fresh-faced and ready to conquer the world. She’s still in there; she’s just tired.

Seasons change. Unless you stay on the equator, everyone is going through a season change, either going into summer or feeling the winter breeze creep up. It is easy to find warm coats and summer dresses for the weather, but people often forget that their hair also needs special attention. An increase in humidity in your area can affect the moisture of your hair whilst the winter breeze may dry your hair. Regardless of your hair type or where you live, it would help if you started adjusting your hair regimen and here is how you can keep your hair healthy irrespective of the season.
