Natural Hair Is Not High Maintenance. Here Is What Actually Is | Trichologist Reacts

Every hairstyle has a maintenance cost. Locs, wigs, protective styles, relaxed hair, wash and gos. They all ask something of you. So when people say natural hair is high maintenance, my question as a trichologist is always the same: compared to what? In this video I break down what hair maintenance actually means, go through every major hairstyle honestly, and get into where the high maintenance narrative came from and why it stuck. This is not about defending natural hair. It is about asking a better question.
