African American hair is unique and deserves special care. So why must this be a discussion? Because there are people who don't understand that the best way to care for African American hair is naturally. Therefore, I'll touch on the importance of using natural products, as well as how to avoid common mistakes that can damage African American hair.
One of the most important things to remember when caring for your hair is that it is very fragile. This means that it can be easily damaged by chemicals, heat, and even excessive combing or brushing.
Therefore, it is important to be gentle with your hair and to use natural products whenever possible.
When it comes to shampooing, African American hair should be shampooed no more than once a week. Why? Because shampoo can strip the natural oils from your hair, which can lead to dryness and breakage. Instead of using shampoo, some of you have made it known that a conditioner designed for African American hair works better.
Aww ... conditioners. When it comes to conditioning your hair, it is important to use ones that are not too harsh and can strip the natural oils from the hair. Like shampoo, the wrong ingredients can wreak havoc on your scalp and hair. Although we've made this statement before, repetition is the mother of learning and acts as a reminder. Instead, look for conditioners that contain natural ingredients such as shea butter or cocoa butter. Essential oils are a great ingredient as well.
Another important thing to remember when caring for African American hair is to avoid using heat styling tools. Heat styling tools can damage your hair and lead to breakage. If you must use heat styling tools, be sure to use a heat protectant spray beforehand.
Be sure to comb through your hair regularly. This holds true if your hair is not locked. Combing helps to distribute the natural oils from your scalp throughout the length of your hair. It also helps to prevent tangles and knots. When combing, be sure to use a wide-toothed comb that will move easily through the texture of your natural hair.
If your style is locs, massaging your scalp will help provide the same results. That being, the distribution of oils from your scalp to the tips of your hair.
By following these tips, you can help to ensure that your natural hair is healthy and strong. In addition, you can avoid common mistakes that can damage your hair. By using natural products and being gentle with your hair, you can help to keep it looking its best.
There's been a lot of talk lately about using essential oils for natural hair care. So, can essential oils help in caring for African American hair? The answer is yes! Essential oils can be used to help moisturize your scalp, as well as your hair. In addition, they've also been known to help promote healthy hair growth.
Some of the best essential oils for African American hair include:
- Rosemary oil
- Peppermint oil
-Lavender oil
To use essential oils for your hair, simply add two to four drops to your 8 oz shampoo or conditioner. Alternatively, you can also add a few drops to a carrier oil such as jojoba oil or coconut oil and apply it to your hair.
Be sure to start with a small amount of essential oil. Too much can be drying to your hair. In addition, be sure to do a patch test on your skin before using any new products, just to be sure you're not allergic.
The best way to care for African American hair is to use natural products and to be gentle with the hair. Avoid using heat styling tools and shampoo no more than once a week.
