Meaning ❉ The Natural Hair Movement in Cameroon represents a gentle, significant shift towards valuing and caring for hair in its original texture. This movement offers a foundational understanding of textured hair, providing clarity on diverse curl patterns, porosity, and density to support optimal hair well-being. It guides individuals in systematizing hair care, establishing routines with predictable principles for cleansing, conditioning, and styling that promote consistent health. Through practical application, individuals learn to implement specific techniques and discerningly select products, ensuring the sustained vitality of Black and mixed-race hair.
