Going Natirèl - Black Hair Care Tips!


  When I started my hair journey there was a lot I needed to know, here are a few tips that helped me:
 
Moisturize 

   Dry hair breaks.... Add moisture daily!
  • Use a treatment to your hair before washing; it adds and seals moisture in your hair. It also keeps hair from drying when washing with shampoos'. 
  • A deep condition moisturizer helps repair hair, also eliminating hair breakage.
  •  Ingredients to avoid that will leave hair dry:
                                                    -Petrolatum
                                                    -Sodium laurel sulfate
                                                    -Mineral oil
  • Always moisturize your hair and ends.

Avoiding the use of heating tools

   Minimize the usage of heating tools to prevent breakage, especially if it's kinky!

  • If you're going to use a heating tool, apply a leave in conditioner or a heat protecting serum.
  • Try to air dry your hair rather than blow drying it.  
  • When drying your hair, if you use a towel lightly pat or wrap a towel around your head. Never rub your hair with a towel, it will cause hair breakage and fizz.

Protecting your hair

   Help your hair grow by protecting it!
  • Hairstyles that doesn't brush up against your clothes, protects your hair. Protective styles includes:
                                                      -Buns
                                                      -Twists
                                                      -Cornrows
                                                      -Up-do's
  • Remember try not to pull hair to tight.                                                 
  • Wearing a satan/silk scarf when sleeping helps protect the ends of your hair.
  • Always comb your hair when wet and with conditioner. If your combing your hair when it is dry, try finger combing instead of combing it. This will reduce hair breakage.
