My name is Kia also known as Kay and I'm here to do a cheeky feature on beautyandtee. I have a natural hair blog called Divinus Ater talking about different hair regime and different tips and tricks I've acquired over time. Today I'm here to talk about my hair regime but first I'll give you a bit of info about myself.
I've been natural all my life, I've never applied any relaxer to my hair and have only had 'blow outs' three times in my life. I started my natural hair blog less than a month ago to inspire those who may want to transition to natural and offer tips to those that are natural. My current hair length is somewhere between my collar bone and bra strap and I'm aiming to get my hair at bra strap length. I usually wear protective hairstyles eg braids or weave but I've decided to give my hair a couple of months to breathe and be natural.
On a day to day basis I have my hair in a French braid cornrow hairstyle. I use Jamaican Black Castor Oil on my hair as, for me, it moisturises my hair and makes my hair softer and easier to manage. To seal in the moisture I apply Shea butter all over my hair but especially on the tips of my hair as that's where it's the driest and it works a treat! At night I usually plait up my hair either in big plaits or cornrows depending on the hairstyle I'm trying to execute the following day.
Now don't get me wrong, it seems like I've got my hair figured out but it's taken a long time to get here and it's still an ongoing process. I've always had thick hair but during my secondary school life, my hair was just about long enough to tie into a ponytail. I tried a variety of different products to aid the healthy growth of my hair but yet I failed on numerous accounts.
Instead I chose to shield my hair behind weave and braids however when I was around sixteen, I decided enough was enough and decided to invest more time into looking after my hair. I went through product after product and spent hours on natural hair blogs and websites until I found the products that worked for me and here we are today.
I guess the message I'm trying to convey is whether you're thinking about transitioning to natural or have been a naturalista for some time, we all experience set backs but the thing that defines you is whether you let that stop you. My hair is growing healthier and faster than ever and I'm loving the journey I'm on!
