Did you know that in Africa a woman’s hair is considered to be her crowning glory? There are so many different beauty trends that have taken place over the years but do you know the one thing they have in common? They always involve hair!
The hair movement has spanned for years and seen many different styles from India to Europe to the US to the UK to Africa; there have been so many different hair evolutions that it would fill a lot of books. In my biased opinion, the greatest hair evolution which has survived to this day is the Afro-Hair evolution.
This evolution not only encouraged women of African descent to take pride in their natural hair but also became a movement. This evolution empowered African men and women alike and created a new era for all.
Since the time when kings and emperors ruled, women have been obsessed with their hair. Cleopatra, one of (if not the greatest) Egyptian rulers washed her hair daily with donkey’s milk! In today’s world, hair is high maintenance, women are willing to spend thousands if not millions on their hair why? Because how you wear your hair makes a statement about you.
National hair day is a holiday created by NuMe a hair products company. They created this holiday for people to celebrate hair styling tools and other hair products but it has quickly evolved to the celebration of the hair itself. The holiday was first established in 2017 and has since been celebrated.
This holiday is actually a US holiday but common, who doesn’t love their hair? A person can wear the most expensive clothes and jewelry but if their hair is not done or doesn’t look nice then they might as well have walked in in rags. On the flip side, your clothes and jewelry might not be expensive but your hairdo will help you look expensive. That is the psychology we girls use to save our money and look like we broke the bank on one outfit.
How to Celebrate National Hair Day.
This is the part you were probably waiting for and I will not lie when I first heard of this holiday that I did not even know existed but don’t worry I have the answers you seek.
The first way you can celebrate National Hair Day is to try a new hairstyle. Now for anyone who is currently on braids or has a weave in, don’t take it out on my account unless you really want to. It doesn’t have to be something daring just switch it up a little.
The second way is actually for all those girls with crazy long and healthy hair, I also have my eyes in African with amazingly full afros I see you girl. The second tip is to share your secret hair tips, so if you’ve been hoarding the secret to your hair growth today is the day for you to spill.
My hair growth journey has actually been amazing, my hair is not long but I am satisfied at the rate at which it is growing but I do not want to get off track. If you want me to share my hair growth journey with you please feel free to send me an email at winnershoniran93@gmail.com
The third way is for you to give your hair some TLC spoil yourself. Invest in that expensive shampoo you don’t want to buy but know it will do wonders for your hair, pamper yourself because if you do not no one will. Love and care are reciprocated so only when you love and care for yourself will someone do for you.
Benefits of Having Healthy Hair
1. It boosts your self-confidence
Male or female, it really doesn’t matter because everyone wants to look their best when they go out in public. No one wants to be laughed at or stared at in a bad way. They want people to look at them with envy which is why it is important to have good hair. A good head of hair can do wonders in covering the physical flaws of a person.
2. It prevents premature hair loss
Do you know that before I was enlightened on hair growth and started taking care of my hair I used to think it was normal for me to run a comb through my hair and find large chunks of hair on the comb? I am sure you’re like what but I kid you not I was that blank on hair care. Even if you know everything there is to know about this topic still share this content with someone who you think needs it.
3. It is a reflection of one’s health
I agree with this statement a 100% of the hair grows from the scalp and the scalp is attached to the body. If you do not have good health no matter how many hair products you pack on your head it will not help! In fact, in some cases, it can even damage the roots of the hair rendering you bald.
Diet plays a huge role In not only giving you healthy hair but determining your hair texture as well. Unhealthy, dry, and frizzy hair may be a side that you need to change either your diet or your haircare routine.
This about rounds up our article, I hope you guys enjoyed reading it. Our quote of the day is as follows;
“A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life – Coco Chanel”
Comment below how this quote resonates with you and if you feel comfortable sharing it, tell us what change you will be making in your life. It does not have to be something drastic, changing your shampoo and deep conditioner is considered a change as well.
Remember, a woman’s hair is her crowning glory but a woman’s hair does not define who she is or her capabilities. Having no hair does not make her less of a woman or less attractive. Growing one’s hair is a choice not a necessity.
This month is Breast Cancer Awareness month so please show some kindness and support because it goes a long way.
