Why is Virgin Hair Trending?

by - 06:44


Hello guys. This week I am going to talk about the reasons why Virgin Hair trends so much these days. Ha! I mean, I see this everywhere. My friends have it. Celebrities rock it. Hairstylists patronize it. Almost everyone embrace it. I mean what the hell? I love the slippery effect of relaxers. But c’mon. This is not a topic to be left untouched. 

So last 2 weeks I was deliberating on Why Black Women Wear Wigs. And we kinda exhausted the reasons. Actually, wearing wigs is somewhat related to growing a virgin hair. Keep that thought for later.

Now before we begin to analyze the secrets behind this full-fledged hairstyle, we have to get something clear. 

People use the phrases “natural hair” and “virgin hair” interchangeably as if it’s the same. To some extent they are. If you apply anything on your hair or not, as long as there is something coming out of your skull, that is called natural hair.  No two ways about it. However! What differentiates natural hair from virgin hair, is that in the case of virgin hair, you don’t apply any relaxer or any chemical that isn’t organic.  So, virgin hair is a category under the umbrella of Natural hair. In one sentence:

ALL VIRGIN HAIR ARE NATURAL, BUT NOT ALL NATURAL HAIR ARE VIRGIN!

So let’s get to business! Why do Girls grow Virgin Hair?

For Protection

  The honest truth is that relaxers or other chemicals harm the hair day by day, most especially if they are applied more than frequently. When you relax your hair at every opportunity you get, the hair becomes scanty and unhealthy. You lose its natural richness and that’s not appealing, is it? But keeping your hair virgin, ha! I don’t have to tell you na! You can see how full it looks and you start to envy!

Attraction

Who doesn’t like good thing? Hahaha! Abeg, virgin hair is beautiful. Girls look so African and when they put on their Ankara tires… D-R-E-A-M-Y! Just see yourself!



Trend

 You know how Nigerians or Africans used to jump at anything new that is leading in the “market”.  We like following the stream and even if the thing isn’t fully patronized, just give it some time. It becomes part and parcel of your lifestyle. Virgin hair isn’t an exception. The girl that carries virgin hair is a friend of a friend who is another person’s friend. And with a little peer pressure, there you go. You begin to start mixing ingredients to keep it virgin.

Just to Belong

 The “Naturalista” Community is growing by the day! It’s fun to know that there are tons of girls backing up your passion about virgin hair. It is also welcoming to know that if you are about to start growing your virgin hair, there are girl out there to guide you in the proper way of maintenance. Practically, knowing that you are among the ladies that grow such hair, it feeds your pride.

Self-Esteem


Do you know that psychologists suggest that when you are alone, you should walk around the house naked? They say that it’s a way of embracing or loving yourself from within. Why? Being natural and loving you naturally bring out self-appreciation. That is another good reason why girls love virgin hair. It’s so natural, chemical-free and it boosts their pride. See yourself at the mirror and say: I am beautiful with the hair that God has blessed me with. I tell you! That feeling is priceless.
  
 So because of the reasons aforementioned, women prefer wigs while they develop a virgin hair. So when it’s full enough, they begin to walk around like divas! So if are interested in that trend, don’t hesitate to try it. It’s worthwhile and as long as you are African, it will definitely fit you. I sincerely hope that I have convinced you. Cruise Africa!
