Christmas Gift Ideas For Natural Girls

By: Emily-Ann

Do you have a natural hair beauty on your list for this year? The holidays are upon on us again, and you know what that means. It's time to open our wallets, purse, and credit cards and start that Christmas shopping. Don’t stress I have some great gift ideas for natural women on your list.

Natural Hair Care Basket

If you are a DIY kind of person you will love this idea. You can buy a basket, box or decorative box. Collect different items from your local beauty supply store and make a gift basket. You can fill the basket with items that every natural needs if it’s someone who recently joined the natural community-like a welcome package of some sort.

Stocking Stuffers

You can stuff them with products that they love and items you see them using all the time it just takes a little attention to detail. A quick look around their home and a few questions can give you some clues.

T-Shirts

More ideas are cool t-shirts and mugs with famous saying like “Black Girl Magic”, “Black Melanin”, “My black is beautiful” or other slogans. Remind her of how important self-love is.

Black Is Beautiful T-Shirt

Bathroom Accessories

I have seen really cute shower curtains with cartoon characters with afros, shower caps and other things that one may need to protect her mane. They are all over Esty and Instagram. There are so many cool items on Esty as great gift ideas, that I can just shop on there for hours. If I got paid for shopping that would be my next career position.

Natural Woman Bathroom Accessories

Wraps and Slick Scarfs

For that natural who loves wearing wraps and just slaying the game with her wrapping skills, give her the gift of some head bonnets/scarfs/wraps. They come in a variety of patterns and African prints. This is an old tradition that of course our mothers have handed down to us, and has been in our culture for decades. Caring about her edges will always win you points. You can find these items at your local beauty supply store, and other websites that cater to natural hair beauties.

Gift Card

For that natural beauty that has “everything”, my suggestion is simple. Gift card with their favorite beauty supply store or Amazon. It eliminates the guesswork and saves you some time. Plus, if your guy is clueless about what to get you, mention the gift card. You’ll get exactly what you want, and he can relax knowing it did a good job on this Christmas gift exchange.

Natural Hair Care Products For Black Hair: What’s in Your Spray Bottle?

“What do you put in your spray bottle?” We discuss natural hair care products for black hair and some ingredients for your spray bottle that can be found in your home or purchased at a store!

 
Natural Hair Care Products For Black Hair

By: Emily-Ann

Hey naturals,

I have been asked this question many times from friends and family. “What do you put in your spray bottle?” Well, here it is my favorite ingredients, and they can be found in your home or purchased at a store! The first ingredient should always be in your spray bottle is good old H2O!

H2O

I am sure that you have all heard that water is essential for our body to perform at its best. It can be said to be the same for your natural hair care. Water helps to feed the hair follicle which then aids in natural hair growth. Drinking, as well as spraying your hair with water should be the first thing you do when you feel that your natural curly hair is looking a little dull. As lovely as water is - it can be a bit boring. Add rose water in your spray bottle. There are so many great benefits to rose water that it’s almost impossible not to add it!

Rose Water

Rose Water and Glycerin

 

  1. Its smells amazing and very settle

  2. You can make it yourself, kind of like a DIY just by looking on Google or Youtube.

  3. Stabilizes your hair’s PH balance

  4. Great for hair treatment for damaged hair

  5. Anti-inflammatory and natural antiseptic properties

  6. Have you been trying to figure out how to prevent dandruff? This is necessary for your natural hair journey.

  7. This is a major key if you're looking for ways of how to make your hair grow faster

Bonus Great for your skin as a toner as well

Leave-in Conditioner

This is an awesome way to retain moisture and great for detangling your curls. You can use this in replace of the rose water. I’ve combined both rose water and leave-in and my curls feel good and smell wonderful.  I currently use Aussie Moisture, as my leave-in and find that my hair loves it. I find that because I have colored my hair on top of being low priority my hair requires a lot of moisture attention. 

Aloe Vera Juice

Aloe Vera For Black Hair

Aloe vera juice has so many benefits, I have been using this plant since I was young! Even before I knew of the great properties it holds! It’s great for both hair and skin, but I will just discuss the great benefits for our hair. Aloe Vera juice, can be found at your local health food store. Desert of Lily is a popular brand with 99% consideration. This plant is a pact with repairing enzymes, amino acids, and vitamins that help with hair appearance and overall health. I have recently added this to my daily routine. I have seen improvement in thickness within a few days. Keep in mind once you open the bottle and transfer it into your spray bottle you will have to keep it in the refrigerated to keep the Aloe Vera Juice from going bad. I also drink this daily for added benefits. Although, if you are pregnant, please consult your doctor before use.

Essential Oils For Natural Hair

Yes, essential oils can be added to your bottle. Natural oils, like peppermint and rosemary both, have properties that will help in the hair follicle to promote stimulation and is necessary on how to grow your hair fast. It is suggested that you use an carry oil with peppermint due to its high concentration and possible irritation. There you have it guys, just some ideas for your spray bottle. What do you currently have in your spray bottle, and share with us what you find to be helpful in keeping your hair moisturized throughout the day! 

Disclaimer: These suggestions are what I have found to work well with my hair. Please, do not use any of these products if you are allergic, or have scalp conditions that are best treated with medication by your healthcare provider.
