Tips on natural hair

DO BE CONSISTENT

I am a creature of habit. This is beneficial when it comes to maintaining your natural hair. I have a certain regimen before I go to bed and a certain day when I shampoo.

It is best to come up with routines that fit into your busy schedule. That way it will become muscle memory and it will feel less daunting when it is time to shampoo your hair.

DON’T USE A REGULAR TOWEL

Like your hands, a regular towel can cause frizz by drying out your hair. It is better to use a microfiber towel. Personally, I like to let my hair air dry as much as possible.

It is important to find a time where you are not in a hurry to dry your hair. If you made plans to go out for dinner on shampoo day, you may cut corners and use a towel so that you can dry your hair quickly.

DO WEAR PROTECTIVE STYLES

Wearing protective styles can help you keep your hair from becoming tangled. You can wear braids, twists, knots, or other styles to keep the hair healthy and tangle-free.

Make sure you take your hair down every once in a while so that you can allow your hair to breathe. If not, you risk losing your edges.
