Getting Started on My Holistic Hair Journey

What is Holistic Hair Care?

Are you ready to start your one-year holistic hair journey? Holistic hair care is a great way to keep your locks looking naturally vibrant and healthy. It’s a lifestyle approach that uses natural remedies and products to help restore and maintain the healthy condition of your hair.  If you’re ready to make the commitment, here’s what you need to know about starting your one-year holistic hair journey. 

The first step in this process is understanding what holistic hair care actually means. Generally, it involves nourishing your locks from the inside out with nutrient-rich foods and focuses on nourishing the scalp, rather than just conditioning the hair strands. This means it builds up resilience from within, while also being gentle enough to prevent damage caused by harsh chemicals like dyes or relaxers, heat styling, or over-styling.

Holistic haircare involves using natural ingredients such as essential oils such as tea tree oil,  herbs such as aloe vera, and various oils such as coconut oil to create an effective solution for healthier hair growth. These natural solutions won’t strip away any of your hair’s natural oils or herbal colorings like regular shampoos can!

Setting Goals: What Do I Want?

Setting goals is an essential part of any journey, whether professional or personal. For those embarking on a holistic hair journey, it is important to start by asking yourself the question: What do I want? 

This question may seem simple but it will help you stay focused and motivated as you go through your natural hair journey. A helpful way to approach this is to break down your goal into smaller milestones that are easier to achieve. For example, if you want to transition from relaxed hair to natural curls and coils, begin by setting a timeline for each step such as researching more about taking care of natural hair and deciding when you will make the actual switch. 

Also, take time to think about what you hope to gain. Is it increased self-confidence? A better understanding of yourself? More knowledge about your own unique hair texture and needs? Whatever it may be, get clear on why you are embarking on this journey. Knowing why you’re doing something will help keep your motivation levels high when times get rough. Once you know your “why”, then the possibilities are endless!

My Goals:

My specific goals are overcoming dry hair by achieving ultimate hydration levels, adding henna and indigo to my hair care routine, length retention, and longer hair growth. Herbs, fruits, oils, along with honey and yogurt, etc,  will be primarily used to maintain my hair

Since my hair is shoulder-length and short, maintaining an afro will be my go-to hairstyle. As my hair becomes longer my hair will be worn in braids and buns the majority of the time.  

Having specific goals in mind can also help keep you accountable throughout your process.

Implementing Changes: How Will I Get There?

Taking a holistic approach can help you start and sustain your hair growth journey. By focusing on the health of both your body and mind, you can make small changes every day to support healthy hair growth. It is important to remember that when it comes to implementing changes in your holistic hair journey, there will be bumps along the way, and taking each step at a time will help you reach your destination. 

Start by asking yourself what is working and what isn’t. This will enable you to identify areas of improvement and create an action plan for addressing them. Consider how you want to go about making changes gradually, as this allows for a more sustainable approach that won’t leave you overwhelmed or exhausted. Reassess regularly and make sure that any adjustments are in line with your overall goal.
