- Provide your hair with adequate moisture to prevent drying and breakage. Moisture is a MUST!
- Regular conditioning is also very essential. I deep condition once a week and I also co-wash. It will become a very important part of your natural hair care routine.
- Keep heat to a minimum. If you must use heat, please invest in a good heat protectant. Keep in mind that heat (like chemicals) can alter and damage your natural hair texture.
- Always seal your ends with oil to retain/lock-in moisture.
- Stay away from products with unnatural ingredients.
- Avoid using heat such as flat ironing or blow drying.
- Manipulate your hair as little as possible. Wear “protective” hair styles then leave it alone.
- Sleep with a satin hair scarf, hair bonnet or on satin pillow cases. Avoid tight braids and twists and elastic hair bands.
- If you need to comb through your hair and when you detangle, be gentle. Always comb from tip to root. Avoid brushing and use a very wide tooth comb.
- Buy a spritz bottle…fill with water and your favorite essential oils to moisturize your hair daily.
