Keeping Black Hair Beautiful
-
Use a wide-toothed Afro-comb for curly hair and a natural bristle brush for relaxed hair. Combing will help spread the natural oils through the hair, making it look shinier and healthier. Use intensive pre-shampoo treatments.
-
Massage the scalp regularly to encourage oil production.
-
Shampoo as often as you feel necessary but only lather once, using a small amount of shampoo. Rinse thoroughly. Towel-blot, don't rub hair.
-
Once a month try a hot oil treatment, which will lubricate dry scalp conditions as well as moisturize brittle hair.
-
If you have a delicate fringe (bangs) or baby fine hair around the hairline (sometimes from breakage, sometimes an inherited trait), use tiny round bristly and a hairdryer to blend this hair.
-
Gels are good for moulding black hair into shape; choose non-greasy formulas that give hair a healthy sheen.
-
If you use hot combs or curling tongs, make sure you shield the hair by using a finishing spray.
-
Braided hair needs a softening shampoo that maintains the moisture balance and helps eleminate dry scalp.
