Hair is composed of dead skin cells, dehydrated and filled with insoluble proteins (keratin), held together by strong attachments between the cells. Hair grows from a follicle root below the scalp at a rate averaging 10-15 mm per month. Hair grows in stages....

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.
Basic Hair Maintenance
  • Clean and condition your hair regularly
  • Use a professional stylist for chemical services whenever possible
  • If you are planning to perm, color or relax you own hair, read the product manufactures instructions carefully
  • Avoid the excessive use of curling irons and other heat styling appliances
  • Avoid tight braiding or weaving
  • Use a good shampoo and conditioner, preferable one that restores the hair
