Bonjour tout le monde!
So I thought I'd come with something new and introduce themed months! The new month of February is going to be the theme 'For The Length'. I'll have a new post every Thursday dedicated to the theme of the month alongside the normal posts that come out every Tuesday and Friday. This month is focusing on length and what tips we can carry out to grow out our hair and achieve our length goal!
So ladies what's more important, health or length?
I feel as though this has been an ongoing debate for the natural community for some time now. Some people feel as though as much as your hair can be super health, it doesn't always equate to length. And others feel as though your hair can be super long, up to your bum, but if it's not healthy what's the point? SO, I'm here to break it down for everyone so you can draw your own conclusion!
HEALTH IS MORE IMPORTANT
Healthy hair = amazing hair! Your hair is at its best when it is well nourished and moisturised so why wouldn't you want healthy hair! We all hate the feeling of dry, brittle hair so when we feel our hair reaching that point, it's time to whip out the water spray and spritz our hair until kingdom come. Keeping your hair moisturised whether that be with hair creams, oils or spritz, your hair performs best when it is feeling its best.
BENEFITS OF HEALTHY HAIR:
- No more tired, dull and brittle hair!
- It is a lot easier to style hair that is full of life than hair that is screaming for care and attention
- Less tension on the hair! During styling we often tug and pull our hair into the desired style and with unhealthy hair, this is often exacerbated as there are more tangles in our hair and it isn't easy for our comb to glide through
- More length retention - it is easier for us to cling on to our monthly hair growth when our hair is healthy because it is less likely to snap or create split ends.
LENGTH IS MORE IMPORTANT
Having ultra long hair is the goal for almost every naturalista on this planet. Every black girl aspires to have their natural tresses tumbling down their back and being able to wear the styles that they'd normally achieve with wigs/weaves/braids but with their natural hair. Long hair = lovely hair and that's almost always the goal of every natural girl ever. So why wouldn't you do everything in your power to acquire your tremendous tresses?
BENEFITS OF LONG HAIR:
- No style is impossible! It is easier than ever to create the styles that you want that may have previously required the help of hair extentions
- Quick style are more that possible
- Once long always long! Once you've reached your desired length, it is almost near impossible to reverse that kind of growth (unless you do something drastic) so clap for yourself, you've made it!
