Fashion and beauty are my huge part of my life. However, with all of the work I’ve been doing , I have been neglecting my health. It is showing. So I decided to incorporate a beauty goal with health goals to end this year right and kick off 2012 on a healthier and more beautiful foot!
I joined a healthy hair challenge created by the Delaware Naturalistas. This hair challenge incorporates establishing healthy hair habits along with healthy eating and exercise habits as well. A healthy body means healthier hair growth. This is what I am striving for. Ever since I went natural I’ve been chopping off my hair when it would begin to grow because it was hard to style and maintain. Now I want to let it grow and see it’s full healthy potential. Not only that, I want to be healthier as well and lose much-needed weight to get my hypertension under control and ward of diabetes which runs in my family.
Even though my hair challenge is for African-Americans or those of African descent who are wearing their hair in its natural texture, there are hair challenges for all hair types. I have listed a few that I know about in an article I wrote touting the benefits of joining a hair challenge. So if joining a challenge is something you want to try check out Join A Hair Challenge for Healthier Hair.
I will be writing and blogging about my hair journey. So follow along if you dare… lol
