I wanted to come on and discuss about my story. I want to share my story about what made me decide to go natural. I've been natural for about 10 years and trust me I had to cut my hair two times. The first time when I decided to go natural is that I no longer wanted to continue with the relaxer. I noticed that my hair is breaking and I was tired of the scalp burns. When I was transitioning to become a natural. I just stuck to braids the whole time. Until one day I decided to cut it off. When I cut it off I didn't know what to do with it. So, I went to a hairstylist and I guess back then a few years ago. I guess natural hair care wasn't the popularity as compared to relaxed hair. So, she just told me to texturizer it and little did I know that texturizer led me to do a second chop.

So, that was an experience that I didn't want to go through again so I really had to educated myself on how to care for my hair type and to understand what my hair type is for me.

I remember back in the day when I was growing up with chemically relaxed hair.

I had no idea on how to wear my hair any other way. You know what I mean. You get an relaxer every 6-8 weeks as soon as your hair roots grow out. For years I came to realize

that black women were influenced by having the hair straight it has to be silky pressed and I look at that was the go-to answer in order to have quote-unquote the ideal hair or in our black community as women the natural hair being relaxed. As I grew older I realized the increased effort it took to maintain my hair straighten meaning that I would have to constantly flat iron it and it was integrated with curling my hair or straightening my hair, you know, through flat ironing. Eventually I realized this was not the natural mean. I questioned my identity and my individuality. I questioned myself on what my hair said about me. Who am I? Your hair journey reveals your own story that's a person experience.... [Listen to the full episode]

5 Top Components to Building a Natural Hair Care Regimen

Hello and welcome back to Lumynex Esssentials audio cast.

I am your host Kerone Maxineau your natural hair consultant author and hair group creator.

I'm in the business of helping afro textured hair woman to succeed in having a healthy customized hair care regimen so that she can love and embrace her textured hair. So, before we get into our continuation of  building a hair care regimen why don't you first head on over to Keeping it Natural Hair Group. There I come on life once a month face to face giving you further helpful training so that you can apply in your hair journey.

So, let's continue on from the last episode.  I introduced on how to go about starting to build a hair care regimen and the benefits of doing that meaning that you must maintain a routine of that because if you don't your hair will suffer the consequences. Also, I introduce the five components that that involved building a hair care regimen and how you use those are very strategic but they're very basic.

Number one being pre-poo which is optional shampooing basically cleansing your hair deep conditioning or using a regular rinse conditioner a protein treatment if it's necessary or a styling product to give you that curl in definition.

So, I wanted to continue from that from the last episode so I can give you key ideas and keep again simple to the point on why those are very important.

Pre-pooing is very optional and is it a must no but it can help again depending on what you hear me pre-pooing your hair prior to cleansing it is very helpful especially when you use penetrating oils such as coconut oil if you don't have an adverse reaction because I know there are some naturals that say that coconut oil do not work for them but you pick what works for you another penetrating oil.

Penetrating oils are high in saturated fat or mono saturated fat meaning that they will actually help to penetrate your hair so if you're using any oil and you don't or you're not even sure about if it's penetrating your hair or just sitting on top of your hair you need to do further research because there are different oils that are specific based on what there are composed to do what they're formulated to do they make of the compositions what they need to do to help you out within your hair care journey.......[listen to the full podcast].
