Natural Hair Trends Infographic – The Facts
About Alma Ruddock
I’m Alma Ruddock, the founder and editor-in-chief of Blackhairinformation.com. I stumbled on a hair care forum back in 2008 frustrated with my breaking relaxed hair and the information that I found there changed the fate of my hair, and quite possibly my life, forever! I immediately started to transition to natural hair and started BlackHairInformation.com as a way to help both myself and other women of color achieve their dreams of long healthy hair. I have now achieved my goal length and I continue to help others achieve their dreams too. My three passions are hair, art and entrepreneurship and I love to be able to bring my unique view on hair growth and successful hair journeys to our readers. I am an eternal optimist and workaholic. In addition to BHI I have founded quite a few other websites and businesses including Elongtress Hair Vitamins and Urban Gyal which all fall under the umbrella of my company Coils Media Ltd.
Someone posted last week a picture of relaxers on sale for $1.99 and 2.99 and one of them was dark n lovely, what I dont like is a lot of these companies know black are going natural so they are coming out with natural products
Don’t buy their products, hopefully a good amount of sales will drop for the hair stores too, wear our own hair. Team natural woohoo
But alot of their products are not truly natural or good for natural hair.
When i say “natural” I try to use products I get from my corner grocery store! If I use a name product, I try to go to black owned or independant products vs big chains. Oh, and dont ask me to pay $18.00 for conditioner and whatnot! If Im paying more for products than groceries, something is wrong!
I am miffed by the amount of money that is spent by black women on fake hair. All the products are costly enough but the hair is big business and what a lot of women have not realized is hair that is well taken care of will grow just as long and will be much stronger. I myself have spent my share on haircare products during my lifetime, however I have not used a relaxer in quite a number of years and it is great. It definitely would be nice if there could be a mass exodus from purchasing the fake hair…this would put a lot of them out of business. Come on girls show them that you don’t need to buy what God gives us all naturally. When I encounter a young lady spending $225. for fake hair telling me that it’s real good cuz it lasts for a year…seriously! It makes me shake my head…it needs to stop!
Well I’m happy to see that we are truly learning our hair which was not available for us before. But weaves are a great protective hairstyle . I doubt see what wrong with buying quality hair. She would probably spend more in a yr buying “cheaper” hair. Not to mention the cost of putting it on each time.
I do have to say I am not apart of the “natural hair movement” when I was a child my mom used to perm the front and back of my hair because it whas so thick in those areas.. When I got to an age where I could tell her wether or not I wanted a perm (age13) I didn’t get a perm I be always worn big braids and weaves … Now I only use these “natural hair” sites for careing of my hair to eliminate braids and weaves so often.. There is nothing wrong with wearing braids or weaves .. Not everyone hair will look like the next person natural hair … And I have seen ppl getting mad and frustrated because their hair isn’t like the next.. Simply because when we wear weaves it looks like the next woman hair… I say do what’s best for u and ur hair I won’t judge u and if others do, they have a problem with themselves ! Good luck on ur “Healthy Hair Journey” that’s all I want is HEALTHY HAIR wether long or short ..
Also weaves are for those that do have problems growing their hair.. I.E. women with alopecia,etc .. Not everyone is excepting of a woman with a bald hair .. Which puts that woman in a category of low self esteem for her hair … Everyone around the world longs to be excepted and their hair playing a big role .. Ijs
why buy hair wen YOU ALREADY HAVE HAIR ON YOUR HEAD! give the weave to cancer patients or ppl tht cnt grow their own.
Omg this is me…i haven’t bought a relaxer in over a year and i just finished cutting all of it out and i really do have a TWA
Wow
I’d love to see the updated numbers.
I agree. Me too
