Don’t know how to care for your natural hair

Is there a black community in Milton Keynes that doesn’t know how to care for their natural hair? I am looking for a group of local people that can offer support on how to grow and embrace their hair.

I got locs as couldn’t be asked anymore, best decision ever made.
Jo Jo’s hair lounge and CLaS Wellbeing Lounge are great for natural hair

I’ve heard about Jojo’s, I’ve been meaning to try her out!

There’s plenty of women who struggle with this. Whats worse is not having professionally trained/qualified hairdressers who are skilled in the trade who maintain good standards, poor salon environments and experiences. Black women especially suffer the most with experiencing their hair breaking or falling out, over chemicalised or over processed with treatments etc. Use of Ineffective hair products that completely destroy or dry out their hair leading to worse results. Your community is definitely needed as a tool of empowerment for both women and men. Send me a DM and let’s talk 😊

I totally agree! I’ve been at the mercy of some of these hair dressers and leave the salon worse off. Our hair needs genuine care and my goal is to educate and support men and women who feel their hair is unmanageable or don’t know where to start. I’m not a qualified hairdresser, though I am starting an Ayurvedic natural hair care brand and want to do more than just sell the product, but support people in finding a routine that works best for them. Thanks for your comment, sending you a message now!

You're looking for a group who doesn't know how to care for their hair?

Yes. I want to find people in the local area with type 4 natural hair specifically and offer them a service teaching them how to care for it.

Idk a specific group but I’m sure there are plenty of people who need help in this area. If I would make a guess I would say maybe older women . Younger girls I feel have the internet and natural hair revolution that happened a few years ago so they tend to know how to take care of their hair but this is just an assumption

I think there is a wide demographic for this- my sister for example, had no idea what to do with her hair and on the internet there’s so much information, it can be overwhelming for some. But I think I do need to think more closely about who this would best appeal to. Thanks
