1. Braid hair often: This reduces the exposure of hair and causes less damage to your hair. There are different styles of braids to go for such as Marley braids or box braids. Whatever style you choose, make sure the braids are not too heavy on your natural hair which can cause further breakage. 2.Trim your hair when needed: It’s no secret that damaged hair tends to slow down the natural growth process of your hair. The ends of the hair are usually damaged, dry and consist of split ends. These unfavorable qualities could work themselves down to the shaft. When you start noticing that your natural hair is getting constantly dry, it may be time for a serious trim to get rid of damaged ends.
3.Wash your hair weekly: I can’t stress the importance of weekly washing enough. You do not necessarily need to wash with a shampoo weekly but you must let your hair touch water. My regimen consists of washing with water or conditioner weekly and washing with shampoo once a month.
4.Wrap your hair with a satin bonnet at night: To avoid constant dryness of hair caused by overexposure to harsh environmental factors, make sure you wrap your natural hair. This aids with moisture retention and since you cannot do this all the time during the day, you can always wear a scarf during the night. A satin or silk scarf is recommended as they do not absorb oil like other fabrics.
5.Sleep with a satin pillowcase: To avoid oil getting sucked out of your hair while you sleep, use a silky pillowcase.
6.Avoid frequent use of rubber bands: Tying black African hair back with rubber bands often cause breakage of hair. Opt-in for a softer hairband made from satin or silky fabrics. This way you ensure your hair is healthy and can prevent breakage.
7.Have Regular Deep Conditioner Protein Treatments: Black African hair is very much susceptible to breakage, so keep your hair well moisturized. Add to your hair growth regime a weekly homemade protein treatment for natural hair growth and our hot oil treatment.
