With the slogan – Natural Healthy Glamorous Hair – Joy has been a voice, an ambassador, a preacher and a leader in the field of Natural Hair Care. With so much lack of information and ignorance surrounding the Natural Black Woman’s hair, Joy took it upon herself to empower people with the knowledge and awareness of how to care for their natural hair as well as to create a business out of Natural Hair Care.

Trained students at World of Braiding

Realising that there were no institutions teaching natural hairstyles, Joy set up World of Braiding & Extensions – Natural Hair & Extensions Academy since 2002 and started practicing and teaching natural hair care.  With favourable reviews, Joy has helped women gain employment and set up businesses in natural hair care across the world with far reaching countries as United States, Australia, Bermuda, Canada, Barbados, Caribbean  Countries to mention a few.  Joy believes that while there exist Hairdressing Schools and Cosmetology Colleges all over the world, these colleges only teach how to alter the natural hair with chemicals, ignoring how to maintain and care for the natural hair.  With this in mind therefore, Joy decided to offer understanding and care through education that can then help Black people to care for their natural hair better than altering it with chemicals.

World of Braiding & Extensions is the only internationally certified Academy with Habia CPD certification to teach natural hairstyles.

TOP 5 TIPS ON HOW TO GROW NATURAL BLACK HAIR

 

TOP 5 TIPS ON HOW TO GROW NATURAL HAIR

We constantly get contacted by Black women all over the world for guide on how to grow their natural hair.  These questions vary hence we have made it our business to add our  focus on educating Black women in particular on hints and tips of how to care for the natural hair.  We are always creating videos on our Youtube channel to help people as well so please visit youtube and search worldofbraiding  channel to find out more.

Generally most people believe that the natural Black hair does not grow or when it grows; it does not grow as quickly as they would want.  Generally Hair grows at an average of ½ inch per month (about 1.2cm per month).  This comes to about 13cm a year.  You will be able to retain length and notice growth in your hair based on how well you treat your Black hair.

Here are some basic 5 tips to help grow your natural Black hair:

healthy foods

healthy foods

1. START WITH A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE:  Hair grows from inside and hair is a fiber that is part of our cells which grows from the subdivision of our cells in the hair follicles.  For this reason, we need natural healthy food that the body can easily break down for digestion in order for our hair to grow.  The foods we need for hair growth are fresh fruits and vegetables, meat, fish, eggs, nuts and wholemeal foods.

2. PLENTY OF WATER:  Due to the unhealthy lifestyles we are forced to live with – synthetic foods, processed foods, genetically

drinking water

Drinking water

modified foods, toxins in the air etc, the body is constantly battling with toxins which do not encourage healthy body for hair growth.  To solve this problem, the body therefore needs lots of water for detoxification, lubricate food for digestion, aid digestion and reproduce the cells for hair growth.  We also need lots of water to hydrate the hair so it does not become too dry.

moisturising products

moisturising products

3. NATURAL & MOISTURISING HAIR PRODUCTS:  After the hair has grown out of the follicles, it needs care in order to avoid breakage.  The natural Afro hair is coily and naturally dry due to lack of sebum travelling down the hair strands.  Due to the coils and dryness of the Afro hair, it tangles itself and breaks easily with little manipulation.  Use of wrong products such as sulphates in Shampoos, silicons in conditioners, chemical relaxers, dyes and use of heat etc cause the hair more dryness which lead to more breakage. Start using natural moisturising oils to help make the hair supple, easy to manage and grow quicker.  These oils include jojoba oil, castor oil, rosemary oil, peppermint oil, shea butter, argan oil, broccoli seed oil etc.  They contain active properties that help stimulate blood flow and make hair grow as well as contain moisturising properties that make the hair manageable and easy to care for.

4. MANIPULATION:  When the natural hair has grown out, it requires less manipulation to avoid breakage.  Handle with care as natural

hair is a very delicate fibre that breaks easily. Less manipulation means less combing, pulling, tugging, tucking, ponytails, clips, blow dryer, flat irons, tight braiding, tight weaving etc.

5. PROTECTIVE HAIRSTYLES:  When the hair has grown out, you do not need to leave it hanging out all the time as it requires time and attention to care for it.  You need healthy natural protective hair styles to retain your length and style.  These styles include 2 strand twist, single plaits, cornrows, braids with extensions etc to help to grow and retain its length.  These styles reduce  manipulation.  Remember not to hold the scalp too tight as it leads to hair loss and alopecia.

INTRODUCTION: 

At World of Braiding, our focus is Education, Information and Skill aimed at helping our students achieve three major objectives: 

1.           To make hair braiding and natural hair Glamorous on all hair types.   

Our clients demand healthy natural, stylish and glamorous hairstyles offered professionally. World of Braiding trains her students to understand these needs have to be met through consultation and customer care. Caring for hair and adding extensions without causing damage is another way our students are trained to meet our clients’ expectations.  Our students are groomed with the ability to work with all hair types in order to meet modern society’s demands with our motto being “if there is hair, then it can be designed naturally and braided.” 

2.           To make hair braiding and natural hair industry professional and modern.

Natural hair grooming is as old as life itself however due to lack of understanding; there exist few professional training centres. This style of hair grooming has staged a great come-back in fashion as people begin to realise it is a healthier option especially as they begin to suffer hair loss and damage from the other grooming techniques. Adding extensions which also dates back to the early Egyptian history is also back in fashion as it is another healthy option. World of Braiding & Extensions Ltd (WOBEL) is the pioneer academy for teaching the understanding of, adding professionalism and glamour into hair braiding and natural hair.  With our believe that anyone with two hands and a passion for hair can be trained to design great looking hair in braids, weaves and extensions, we have confirmed our position  as the industry leader in natural hair training.  This is why we not only give you a skill but back you  up with business advice and skills to help you succeed in hair. We are the first to make Hairbraiding and Natural hair skill a Professionally Certified and recognised Course with our Habia certification which gives you international recognition.

With our unique “finger placement” we teach you to understand how the fingers are placed which has made all our students braid and design hair within a few days of training.  

 3.           To help professional hair stylist prosper with hair.

Hair is a woman’s crowning glory. The hair industry is continuously growing as the appeal to look glamorous remains the focus of celebrities.  According to statistics – as at 2009 the Ethnic hair and beauty industry accounted for $2.9billion and by 2013, it is expected to grow to $4.2 trillion.  www.marketresearch.com. This money exchanging hands in the industry unfortunately is not passed on to the stylist who only stands behind the clients all day. We aim to change the attitude of our stylist so they can begin to see the potential in the industry from engaging in other retail activities.

The natural hair and designing industry also became popular with celebrities rocking the styles as seen below:
