The DIY hair movement has been there and it has revolutionized how women take care of their hair. Every woman wants a head full of healthy, long and for majority natural hair. Most DIYers are naturals, but in general a number of women have taken it upon themselves to go the DIY route when it comes to their hair maintenance.

Naturals do it all right at home; from cutting, treating, conditioning and shampooing. Naturals get to know what works best for their hair through trial and error. Often by trying out different natural hair care products found right at home, a naturalista is able transform their hair into their desired texture and grow it to their desired length as well.

The important thing to do is to cut the hair at 1/4 of an inch above the split ends. It doesn’t hurt to ask your how to do it properly when you visit your hair stylist.

Crotcheting is yet another DIY hair trend that started a while back but remained popular through 2015. Whether it crotcheting in a weave or braids, crotcheting allows women to individualize their look.

A number of women are also coloring their hair at home. Not particualry recommended for first timers, but coloring at home saves you some money and also allows you room to experiment. If you choose to go this route, do your research well and start off with non-permanent ‘safe’ colors before going all crazy with the current trending hair hues.

When it comes to your hair, just like your fashion choices, simply be you. Your hairstyle choice is among the ways you can choose to make a strong fashion statement and tell the whole world a little bit about yourself. Have fun, try going crazy at least once, but most importantly love your hair.
