This page is for those who learn the same way I do - visually. It is fine to tell me how to do something, but if you really want me to get it, I need to see it. From time to time, I will make how-to-videos and add the link to them here. I hope these help you with your natural journey. Keep in mind that I am not a hair expert. My techniques may work for my hair, but not yours. Please use them as guide as you discover what works best for your hair. Enjoy!

Eventually, you will have to trim your hair. Many with natural hair feel the need to blow dry or straighten their hair in order to trim it. By visiting the forum on nappturality.com, I read up on an alternative hair trimming technique. This video demonstrates the Twist N Clip hair trimming technique. It is very easy and best of all requires no harmful straightening! Please see updated version of video here:Twist & Clip
You’ve worked hard to take care of your natural hair and it’s growing like a weed, but shrinkage is making it look as if your hair is not growing at all. Show off that length by minimizing shrinkage using the stretched afro technique. This technique involves two-strand twisting large sections of moist hair, allowing it to dry and picking it out. The result is a large fluffy afro (if your hair is over 5 inches long).

The longer my hair gets, the tougher the detangling process. I’ve finally found a detangling process that works better for me. As your hair gets longer, you may be having the same problems. I created this series of clips to show you my detangling process. My hope is that you will find something helpful out of it.
