Teenage Naturals

Come one, come all! This is the blog made for you! I have searched up and down for blogs made specifically for teenagers trying to go natural. So I said "why don't I make one myself." Now I'm not the best at computers but I will use the skills that I have to help make teenagers part of the big natural hair community.

Teens nowadays still get taunted for having bad hair. If we have our natural hair, we get tormented for it not being straight, long and flowing like other races. Sometimes our hair may seem unmanageable to teens, so they opt for wigs, weaves and relaxers (yes that includes texlaxers). Some of us have natural hair and just don't know how to work and treat it, so it ends up breaking off and being unhealthy. Well good news has a arrived, for I am here to be your natural buddy!!

As a teenager myself, we tend to idolize over our seniors with long, healthy natural hair. Naptural85, kimmaytube, AFRICANEXPORT, LongHairDontCareLLC, MahoganyCurls etc. we want there hair but let's face it, we can't pay the price. I know a lot of teens are working nowadays but lets be honest, a lot of us don't. My parents won't even let me get a job. So we're broke and our parents don't want to buy the hair care products that our seniors seem to rave about.

It's a lot to take as a teen that wants to join the natural hair community, but hey, we can get through it, together (: xoxo Chinny

Biotin and Hair Growth

Biotin? What is it? Well it is a vitamin B complex that's famous for its hair growing powers. The real question is: Does it even work?

Biotin is known for:

• Promoting hair growth
• Thicker and stronger hair (and nails)
• Shinier hair
• Healthier hair
• Increase hair growth rate

Some people swear that it helped them but well have to find out for ourselves. after reading many hair care forums and watching countless of YouTube videos, it just seems like it would work. It's just when you see people with hair (in the following picture example) you would think its time to take the leap. Now doctors recommend that you ask them before starting any supplement, but come on. At 17, I find it too embarrassing to ask if it's okay to take supplements to grow my hair. No thank you lol. Although I do disapprove relaxers, this is just and example:

I know walmart and walgreens sell the tablets very cheap for about a 100 a bottle, but curretly, i cant drive so I have no access to it. I know I cant my ask my mom cause she might go crazy at the idea. So hopefully you have parents that wouldnt mind letting you take the supplements (LUCKY). Recently I had a close friend pick me up some chewable cherry tablets of 1000 mcg. I started taking it about a week and half ago, so I don't know if it works (I usually take 2 - 3 a days - it's just so sweet like candy). I will soon see because when summer hits, I'm taking my natural hair down. So teenage girls and boys (adults you can listen too) pick up some biotine, I guess you might have to ask your parents or find a way to sneak some cheap ones in the house, and start the journey with me. Then we'll really see if this actually works. xoxo Chinny
