CurlFest 2018 left the entire natural hair realm shooketh! We’re talking curl comradery, peace, love and undeniable black beauty appreciation. This amazing event is now the world’s largest hair festival and this year it went down in Brooklyn at Prospect Park.

Moreover, if you are looking for inspiration to go natural OR new hairstyle ideas; you will definitely find both. PLUS, as a little fun extra we will be including some helpful natural hair tips along the way. So then, enjoy our Curlfest 2018 album and happy natural hair!
CurlFest 2018 – 170 Pics of Natural Hair Ideas and Inspiration
From curls to twists, braids to afros and locs to vibrant hair color. Every natural hair look got repped and repped proudly!
CurlFest 2018 – 75 Pics of Natural Hair Ideas and Inspiration -Part Two
Whether your hair is in a short hairstyle, medium or long; one thing is for sure… all natural hair needs moisture! This is due to two reasons, the structural makeup of curly hair as well as the dynamics of hair growth.
If hair is dry, brittle and tangling constantly it’s simple math. It is not going to appear like it’s getting longer or more voluminous. Yes, hair never stops growing; however, if it is steadily breaking off and falling out from lack of hydration you will NEVER see any signs of real growth. Yikes.
The key then is add moisture. Since water takes longer to travel down a curly strand as opposed to a straight one, it becomes even more necessary to make sure you not only hydrate your strands; but lock all that water in. This can be achieved by applying water soluble stylers, conditioners and creams; then use a high-quality oil to lock and fence in those moisturizing products. Got it? Great back to the CurlFest 2018 hairdos!
CurlFest 2018 – 170 Pics of Natural Hair Ideas and Inspiration -Part Three
As one can see, achieving beautiful natural hair can be a reality! However, one issue that some run into when transitioning or even thereafter is knots. Knotting up at the ends occurs when… you guessed it, ends are not getting the moisture or nutrients they need to stay healthy.
Also, FYI, ends that can not be easily passed or combed/brushed through is a good indication that it is time for a trim. Nonetheless, help prevent this little hair issue by applying hair oil to your tresses. Carrot oil and jojoba oil can be real hair savers in this particular area. However, back to the styles!
CurlFest 2018 – 170 Pics of Natural Hair Ideas and Inspiration -Part Four
Got another quick hair tip coming at you! Hair oil is also a great product for de-tangling. This is because like conditioners and creams, it provides a nice amount “slip” to help your fingers or brush pass through. Try warming up coconut oil or jojoba oil then apply it to your strands right before untangling.

Time for another hair tip! Well, naturalistas, if you do decide to towel dry or blot out some of the water from your hair; it is best not to use a regular old towel. Opt for either a microfiber towel or use a tee shirt. You see other towels are made from a harsher material; and by using them you can cause unnecessary frizz as well as rough up the cuticle. Keep that quick tip in your natural hair back pocket and let’s get back to the hairstyles.

I’m going to finish school! I will buy a house! I’m going to jumpstart that business! I will get in the best shape ever! Sound familiar? Achieving the dream may seem fantastic and attainable at the beginning of the year; however, for most, weeks and months later they find they are still stuck at square one.
What happened? Life. We get busy, changes occur or things just don’t go our way. Regardless, of what the background story or reason may be; our dreams and accomplishing goals never disappear into thin air. We still want to stretch out our hand as far as it will go to scoop them up, but sometimes we don’t always get there in one try.
Actually, you will be comforted to know that MOST people will experience “failure” or “setbacks” before they reach the success they are after. Nonetheless, is it really a failure if we try yet don’t succeed? Of course not!
Achieving the Dream: 6 Tips to Reach Your Goals Once and For All
You can still get what you want and to where you want to be, it just means you may have to start fresh. A little reboot if you will. Here’s 6 tips that can help you reach your dreams even after starting over.
Think of your dream as the overall objective. Set 2-3 smaller, reasonable goals that will help you to reach that particular objective. For instance, if your objective is to get into shape; your goals may include: walking 3 times a week, doing resistance training twice a week and to cut out soda completely. By doing those three things consistently you will certainly notice a change and get closer if not attain your objective.
Buy a planner or calendar. These nifty tools will help you to not only stay organized but be accountable. You’ll be able to schedule tasks that will help keep you focused daily, weekly and monthly.
Make a list of things that waste your time. Try to eliminate at least one of them. Wasting time on unimportant tasks is one of the biggest reasons people lose their focus and get off track.
Leave the past in it’s rightful place … the past. Mistakes happen, things get overwhelming and restructure may be in order. The key is not to allow anything to throw you off. Let your history be just that as well as a learning lesson as to what worked and did not work so well.
Be willing to embrace change and try new things. Doing the same routine and act will only yield the same old results. So if you want to start fresh and achieve a new ending you must aim to step out of your comfort zone and try out new things as well as tactics.
Don’t beat yourself up for starting fresh or over. Embrace the process and realize that it’s persistence and consistency that will make you successful.
Achieving the Dream: 6 Tips to Reach Your Goals Once and For All -Final Words
Think of achieving the dream as a baseball game. A player steps up to bat. The pitcher hurls the ball and the player takes a swing. Miss. Pitcher changes up his pitch style when throwing the ball for a second time and the player up to bat swings again. Another miss.
Now let’s say the third pitch is different from the first two and the pitcher throws this one with all of his might. The player batting takes a final swing. A HOME RUN! Now do you think the batting player or the crowd is upset that the home run took a few tries?
Of course, they don’t care! They are still just as excited as they would be if it had happened sooner or later in the game. So then, never get upset if it takes you a few tries in order to get where you want to be.
That’s just how the game of life is. Sometimes we get it right the first time, and at other times we might have to wait till our next turn.
