Happy new month
Well, I know it’s 7 days into the new month but it’s appropriate to celebrate the beginning of a new month.
January was phenomenal for me especially because I got to launch El Tamiym; the blog and YouTube platform. Also, allow me to celebrate each person who has taken time to interact with El Tamiym by reading the posts, liking, subscribing and sharing. Thank you for your feedback and constant encouragement. I’ve gotten to learn God passionately caters for His will. Thank you beloveds. You are a blessing.

So, I’m really excited because there’s so much I have in store for you for this month. I finally get to breakdown the information on natural hair that I’ve gathered over the years.
The reason I’m excited is because the direction God gave me to share this with you is so cool. 😂
God is good.
( Drum rolls )
Yes, for this month, I get to show you how to build your hair regimen. (The information that will be shared works for both natural hair & relaxed hair ). Because I plan to be very detailed, I’ll break this down into different parts so that it’ll be easy to consume and follow through. (Plus I am not a fan of long posts 😂🙈)

For each post, there will be a video on my YouTube channel just to break it down further and show the practicality of it all. [ the videos will be released after 2 days ]

For this week, we won’t have a video unfortunately.
Since this is an introduction to the series, I’ll keep it short, precise and detailed.

What is Hair Regimen ?
This is basically a routine one has adopted that is tailor made to meet one’s individual hair needs & goals.

A natural hair routine is a set of practices you have when taking care of your hair. These will determine things like:

•  How you clean your hair ( shampoo or low shampoo
•  Frequency of cleaning hair
• When to trim your hair,
• What products you use on your hair
• How you keep or style your hair
• Which building blocks will your wash day have (Pre-poo, Wash or Co-wash, Oil Rinse, Deep Condition, LOC method),
• How to maintain moisture or hairstyles and much more…

The things that one considers when building a regimen are;
🔸 Time / Schedule
By this I mean, when one has little free time, then they have to adopt a simple routine
🔹Activities done in a day/week.
Example, someone who works out daily will adopt a specific routine
🔸 Hair porosity
This means the ability of one’s hair to;
Absorb moisture + products.
[ I’ll dig deeper into this in other posts ]
🔹 Age
Babies have a different routine than that of adults.
🔸 Hair needs & goals.

Different hair have different needs so this is a factor to consider.

Having shared that, I’d love that you realize that your hair is unique and different, so as you decide on how to build your regimen, make sure you pay attention to your hair.

Do realize;
1. Your hair routine shouldn’t be a copy & paste of someone else’s.

2. Hair type isn’t a factor to consider.
What i mean is this, just because person X has the same hair type as you doesn’t mean that you should adopt their routine.
Tailor make a routine that works best for you.

3. Don’t over do it especially when it comes to deep conditioning.
[I’ll explain this in details in some posts]

4. Pay attention to your hair. [this will also be expounded on]

5. Have fun, enjoy the journey. ❤
Also take progress pictures to help track plus for celebration purposes.

Also in this series, we will see the application of God’s word to your hair journey which forms the foundation of my natural hair journey.
Shocked ? Don’t be.
Colossians says that all things were made by Him and for Him. So yes, that includes hair. It was made by God, for His glory.

” For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: ” – Colossians 1:16

This is where I’ll tarry the most especially in video form.

The next series of posts & videos will focus on the factors to consider that are fundamental to building a healthy hair regimen.

Expect to learn how to steward your hair with God & for God.

So stay tuned… ❤
