How to Take Care of Natural Black Hair
Black people growing natural hair are familiar with the
eccentric qualities of tightly curled hair. Natural black hair has different
textures ranging from corkscrews to fluffy S-shaped curls; in fact, it is rare
for an individual to have a truly homogeneous set of curls. Despite the texture
combination, black people with natural hair can use the same basic hair-care
practices to maintain healthy hair. The most important techniques every natural
should learn to maintain strong, healthy hair is proper detangling and
moisturizing.

Wide-tooth

Detangling
Wet
your hair with water from root to tip until it is fully saturated. Apply the
detangling spray or lotion to the entire length of your hair. While the
detangler is setting, separate your hair with your hands and clip it into at
least four different sections. Twist each section to prevent shrinkage. Remove
one section from the clip and untwist it. Hold it away from your head. Use the
wide tooth comb to detangle the ends of your hair first. Continue to detangle
while gradually moving upward to the roots. Hold the hair directly above the
area you are detangling to decrease the amount of pulling on your scalp. Repeat
steps 1 through 4 until each section is detangled.
Moisturizing
Separate
your hair into at least four sections with your hands, and clip them. Apply a
generous amount of moisturizer to your hair from root to tip. Determine the
amount of moisturizer you need according to the length and thickness of your
hair. Apply oil to the section of hair from root to tip. Comb your hair with a
seamless styling brush to distribute the moisturizer and oil evenly. Style your hair as usual.
Warnings
·
Keep
your hair damp while detangling. Dry hair is difficult to manipulate in its
shrunken state.
Tips
·
If
you encounter a large knot while detangling, carefully comb or brush that area
until the shed hair is released.
·
Finding
the right moisturizer can be difficult. Try different products until you are
satisfied with the results.
·
Use
natural oil instead of oil in a spray can, which usually contains superfluous
filler ingredients like mineral oil. Avocado, Argan, Moroccan Oil,almond and olive
oil are recommended for natural black hair.
