Natural Hair Maintainence

If you have been following my blog,  you know I just had my 1 year natural anniversary,  but it's only been 8 months since my Big Chop (BC).

Being Natural is more work than maintaining permed or heat pressed hair.  You have to constantly tend to your hair daily which can stress your strands.

Especially extremely coiled/kinky hair -- this hair type needs the most maintenance no doubt about it, but don't get caught up in the hair typing trend. This because no hair is the same. 

Here's what I do for my kinky hair.

When Washing

• On dry hair,  finger part hair into manageable sections.

•Finger detangle,  removing knots and shed hair.

•Apply conditioner or shampoo (if clarifying)

•I rinse out my product in the shower, it easier to rinse out using a downward motion. 

When Styling

On dry or wet hair,  section hair off with clips, apply product and style.

Maintaining

At night I oil or spritz water on my hair and wrap a silk scarf around my head or wear a silk bonnet.  These 2 products will keep the moisture in your hair. 

*Some people sleep on silk pillowcases

Protective Styling can help with breakage and growth. However you still have to moisturize and spritz with water.
