What is hair?
Hair can be defined by its texture ,curl pattern, and color.Hair is used in fashion to make a statement ,or to tell a story, it can be shaped, sculpted etc.. Different hairstyles also attract different people. My favorite part about hair is it symbolizes Mother Nature perfectly like huge afros mimicking shady trees. So the question is how important is hair to you? What styles do you currently rock with your natural? Lets talk texture from coils, curls, waves, to straight. What is your hair current state? What's your hair type? What is your wash day like? What is your ideal hair length? The good thing about hair-it grows and sheds every season. We must look out for damage with everyday stressors. Rather you're looking for length retention, healthy hair, how to maintain, or preventing damaged hair.
