The fine natural hair tips compiled here on this blog are based on my personal experiences. I am not a licensed professional. A lot of what I learned is based on my trial and error experiments.

Thankfully, nothing of detriment has occurred!

The Goal

So, the fine natural hair tips I share are with one goal in mind: to help you stop hair breakage so you can retain length.

I recognize that not everyone’s goal is to grow long hair. Yet, that’s what is the primary focus of this blog. The main reason is because those of us with fine hair typically have difficulty growing our hair long because of how fragile it is.

However, there’s still much you can benefit from even if you’re not here for the tips on growing your hair through length retention. You’ll find things like:

• Maintaining healthy hair by knowing your hair’s porosity
• Tips for a healthy scalp
• How to add shine to your hair so it can reflect light

You’ll also find scores of easy natural hairstyles.

Indian Herbal Hair Care

One of the greatest gifts from God for your hair care is natural herbs. That’s because herbs are so powerful – not just for your hair but for your health too!
