I am always on the hunt for great natural hair products to try on our hair. Many of the hair styling products around are not my cup of tea but this ECO Style Professional Styling Gel is a rare gem. I have used the Olive Oil version of this styling gel a few times so I decided to try this version with Argan Oil, and I am so glad I did. This ECO Style Professional Styling Gel with Argan Oil is a fantastic hair styling product. I got it some weeks ago and we have used it a few times already. It ticks all my hair styling boxes and then some.

3 African Natural Hair Tips

August 24, 2022 By in Beauty Tags: , , , , , , 1 Comment

Our natural African hair needs a unique form of tender loving care. It took me a minute to figure out how to give my hair the right sort of care and attention, but once I figured it all out through trial and error, I knew exactly how to handle my hair. The journey to care for African natural hair is life-changing and it never ends. I keep learning something new every time I play around with my hair. I love my hair so much that I cringe over time I recall the years of messing around with chemicals to keep my hair straight.

The whole idea of keeping your African natural relaxed and straight is mad. Our hair is not meant to be straight and it was a waste of time for me especially because my hair is so stubborn, fighting it was pointless.

3 African Natural Hair Tips

Here are 3 quick tips to have in mind when you are caring for your natural afro hair:

  • Wash every week or fortnightly

It is best to wash the natural hair every week or fortnightly to get rid of the build-up of hair care products which can lead to excessive itching and dryness. Our hair is fragile (even though it doesn’t look it) so it needs to be handled delicately and washed as infrequently as possible.

  • Use the right hair care products

As with everything else, it is important to pay attention to the ingredients on the label before buying hair care products because you want to make sure you get the right products for your hair type. I prefer using only natural products and so I make sure the hair care products I use are natural and also cruelty-free.

  • Make sure protective styles are not too tight

I do my own protective styles now so this is no longer an issue for me but if someone else makes your hair, make sure the protective styles are not too tight as that would lead to hair breakage. If it hurts, let your hairdresser while she/he is making your hair as that is usually a clear sign that it is too tight. The last thing you want is to suffer hair loss and a headache just to look pretty.

What Skills Do You Need For A Career In The Beauty Industry?

Careers in the beauty industry are extremely popular because they allow you to get paid to do things you love. Whether you become a nail technician, hairdresser, makeup artist, etc – you can spend your days doing something you genuinely enjoy. Plus, there’s a lot of room to freelance in this industry, allowing you to have no ceiling on your earnings. 

If you’re interested in this career path, you’re going to wonder what skills you need to make it. Obviously, specific skills relating to the beauty industry are required. Those of you that are reading this will probably already have training in some service areas – such as hairdressing or nail art. Once you’ve undergone the training to gain these key skills, there are three other elements you should look at to boost your chances of making it:

Social skills

Working in the beauty industry will mean you spend a lot of time talking to people. Clients come to you for services and can be in the chair with you for at least an hour, sometimes more. As such, it’s your job to make the experience as enjoyable as possible – nobody wants to feel bored out of their mind when going for a hair appointment or beauty treatment. 

Therefore, you need excellent social skills to talk to your clients, learn things about them, help them feel comfortable, and so on. If you can’t hold conversations with people, it will be hard for you to retain and gain clients. The most successful individuals in this industry are the ones that can create friendships with clients to establish loyalty. 

First aid skills

Initially, this isn’t something you expect to need for a job in the beauty industry. But, think about it, your job requires you to be in close contact with someone. So, what if something happens to the individual and they need instant assistance? Having the right skills and training in first aid can be the difference between saving someone’s life. 

Thankfully, you have places like MyCPR NOW where you can sign up for courses and get certifications for things like CPR and First Aid training. If you have these skills, you’re instantly more employable. 

Time management skills

The key to having a successful career in the beauty industry is to see as many clients as possible throughout the working week. More clients mean more money; it’s as simple as that. 

Unfortunately, if you don’t have great time management skills, you’ll spend far too long on each client. A one-hour job turns into a two-hour one – which isn’t good for the client’s experience either. Learn to be swift, yet maintain a really high standard. If you nail your time management skills, you can see lots of clients every day, ensuring all of them leave with a smile. 

 

To round things up, here’s a quick recap. Start by developing specific beauty industry skills in a particular service area, so you have an actual service to provide. Then, develop the three skills listed above to take your talents to the next level and make yourself more employable.
