    Firstly, wow.
    Many people grow up not knowing how to take care of their hair. I hope that in future these lessons are taught in every county in every country across the world.

    This should be in the curriculum in African countries that cut young girls hair for school instead of styling it traditionally to last a couple of weeks at a time If they did this girls develop high esteem in their natural hair and leave school with good lengths and healthy hair which they can style so many ways instead of going straight into wearing weaves

    I stop wearing extentions and now I just have it natural or in braids without additional hair. I'm proud of it. I grew up with the mindset that many african people have bad hair. That perception came from slavery. However, those with wavy, straight, or curly hair has supposedly "good hair" which I can't stand this term. we all need to enjoy our hair and take pride in it.

    I wish I'd had those three tips when I was a lot younger. My hair journey did start with advice from my aunties, but then I got sucked into a cycle of buying new products. Every article, every video, it's all try this new product or that new product. Simplifying my haircare routine and being patient changed how I felt when it came to listening to my hair. I thought I was, but at the time I was using it as an excuse to try a new oil or product or tool.
    I mean it was positive enthusiasm but in the wrong direction. There were plenty of days where I loved my hair, but too many days when I felt the need to find something to fix it. These days I love my hair everyday and focus on keeping it healthy.

    Be gentle and keep hair moisturized! Sun dries our hair out and can cause breakage. If u have chemicals on it, u really need more moisture. A lot of the people's hair in the audience looked super dry and neglected.
