In this month’s edition of Natural Tips,
owner and founder of Na'klectic Hair Salon - Baltimore, MD, Natasha Jackson, has
shared some of her insight on natural hair care, based on the many years
of experience in her profession.
used her Master's degree in business and
her extensive knowledge on natural hair care and styling to launch Na'Klectic Natural
Hair Gallery in March of 2004. In 2007, the gallery expanded and became, Na'Klectic
Natural Hair Gallery and Spa. Natural Hair Care Specialist and Loctician, Ms. Jackson, opened the Na'Klectic establishment
because she understood
the importance of providing a calm, relaxing, and professional environment for hair maintenance and styling. Her mission also includes offering educational tools for clients
about natural hair care as well as the history of natural hair.
Let’s take in a few of the
tips that the owner and founder of Na'klectic Hair Salon has to offer us.
Temperature
Counts When conditioning, let the product sit for 30 mins or longer with heat--for
maximum penetration. When conditioning is complete, it is important to
rinse the conditioner out with warm to slightly cool water to seal in the moisture.
Unnecessary Roughness Limit, if not discontinue the use of alcohol, petroleum, and
ammonia based products on your hair. These ingredients are counter-productive to
the goals
you have for growing healthy natural hair.

Necessary Reading We have lost our culture and
understanding of African traditions, allowing for the mental chains to linger. Accept what God has given you. If your hair is coarse, soft, or a combination, just learn about your hair and enjoy it. Find books
about the history, the structure and the maintenance of your hair. Reading is key!
