Nourish and Protect Your Black Natural Hair: Tips for Gorgeous, Strong Strands
Taking care of black natural hair requires knowledge, the right techniques and most of all…. PATIENCE.
If you’ve ever struggled with dryness, breakage, or managing your hair on a tight schedule (what lady with natural hair hasn’t?!), you’re not alone.
Guess what the good news is?
With a few key everyday strategies, you cannot only simplify your routines. You can achieve and maintain healthier hair so you can reach your hair goals in no time.
The Basics of Caring for Black Natural Hair
There are a few basic practices that make maintaining healthy natural hair a must. These include:
- Regular moisturizing
- Gentle detangling
- Giving your hair as needed protein treatments
- Establishing a balance between low manipulation styling and protective styling.
It’s also important to understand your hair’s unique needs (porosity, curl pattern, density etc.). Especially, if you’re looking to grow long natural hair.
While these are the foundational basics of a hair care regimen, there are game-changing hacks that take these basics to the next level—like saving time during wash day or avoiding sneaky mistakes that lead to hair breakage.
Why Moisture is Key (and Difficult to Retain)
Maintaining your hair’s moisture levels is a common challenge when you have natural hair. All of the swirls and grooves of a curly hair strand pose a challenge to your hair’s natural moisturizer (sebum) being able to move down the hair strand.
If that’s not challenge enough, environmental factors and product choices also affect hydration.
IMPORTANT BLACK HAIR GROWTH TIP: Hydration takes place on wash day when moisture is penetrating deeply into the hair strands. Moisturizing takes place throughout the week when applied at the surface level.
Did you know that combining certain products not only cuts down on time but could actually prevent your hair from being stripped of moisture?
EveryDay Vital Hair Hacks gives you some easy natural hair shortcuts to keep your hair moisturized throughout the day.
Common Hair Care Struggles
When you have natural hair, there are some other common hair struggles besides dryness that include:
- Tangling
- Single strand knots
- Dull, lifeless strands (aka flat hair)
- Product build-up
- Hairstyle failures
It doesn’t matter if you’re dealing with excessive split ends or tangles & knots that just won’t quit, there are natural remedies that can transform your hair routines—and they don’t involve harsh chemicals or expensive products.
What’s worst is if you lead a busy lifestyle, you need quick remedies that cut down on practices like your detangling sessions.
If you are short on funds, you can use every day kitchen items for quality hair care without putting a dent in your wallet (or bank account).
Straight vs. Curly: Tips for Every Hair Texture
No matter how you choose to wear your hair, there are time-saving techniques designed to help you maintain your look while boosting overall hair health.
It’s important to tailor your hair care practices for your specific hair texture. You may not be naturally straight but when you wear your hair straight, you need to care for it differently than when you wear it in its natural state.
For example, in the EveryDay Vital Hair Hacks guide, you’ll discover how something as seemingly mundane as a banana can help you reduce frizz; while, using light hair oils in just the right spots will cut down on tangles in curly hair.
For fine hair, you can use a blow dryer in a way that gives your hair more volume without heat damage.
