Black Hair Care BASICS
There are just some things that are basic in addition to diet and vitamins when it comes to botanizing healthy hair.
Ok so you are taking your vitamins and changed your diet, so you say “What’s next when it comes to maintaining my hair. A HAPPY scalp is a HEALTHY scalp. It’s good to massage your scalp on a regular basis to increase oil production, and increase circulation.
Shampoo you hair and scalp no more than once per week. More than that will tend to dry the hair.
Try to avoid heat when possible, if styling at home, try air drying instead of blow drying, excessive heat in combination with a relaxers is a recipe for disaster.
Sleep with a satin scarf or sleep cap on or satin pillow case. This helps avoid split ends caused by the rubbing of your hair against a "rough" cotton pillow case. It also avoids moisture being wicked out of your hair into your cotton pillow case.
NEVER use a super relaxer. I have seen the thickest heads of hair imaginable and the same results can be achieved with a REGULAR relaxer.
Avoid overuse of products with mineral oil or petroleum. These products tend to block the pores and are not readily absorbed. Just because your mom used Vaseline on your hair, does not mean you have to! Stay tuned for more to come!
