Hey Maicurlies,
I wrote a new article for Global Couture that I think a few of us might have/are/will go through as a naturalista: Hand In Hair Syndrome (HIH).

In case the term is new to you all it basically means it that you “suffer” from constantly touching your hair – your hands are constantly in and and around your hair.
During my hair journey I was always touching my hair, wanting to feel my natural texture and play with my curls. Admittedly I will sometimes still play with my hair whenever I am really digging a style. In case you “suffer” from a bad case ofΒ HIH, I provide a few potential consequences of the syndrome as well as a few solutions to try and stop touching your hair in the article: “Hand In Hair syndrome and how to try to combat it”.’
Do you “suffer” from HIH? What steps do you take to try and stop touching your hair throughout the day?
I don’t have HIHS but I can definitely understand when you transition and you want to feel your new growth and just get excited about your curly roots.

Yup, transitioning definitely seems to be “the time” to explore what our natural hair feels like. Thanks for commenting Christina π

Thank you dear, indeed, HIH, especially when my hair was shorter, but protective styling has helped me out a lot!

Protective styling has been a huge help in cutting down on how much I play in my hair but it also really helped me to try to figure out what parts of my hair I like to touch most. I realized that my roots and new growth are the places I prefer to give the greatest attention to at any given time so scalp massages are my way of doing something good for my scalp and I get to touch my new growth. I enjoyed your insight on this subject.
