I wanted to share the things I use or the things I do to make my hair the way it is. Also, I am not perfect, all the hacks and concoctions a naturlista talks about to make their hair so beautiful, I don’t usually do. you would be surprised what I do and what I don’t do in regards to keeping my hair healthy.
Silk Pillowcase Silk is a fabric with actual protein, therefore silk is good for hair and skin, sleeping on a silk pillowcase is nice and soothing as well as beneficial. I noticed when I switched to a silk pillowcase, my hair stays moist longer and of course, my hair grows. Oily Product Oil is the best thing for natural hair, my favorite is coconut oil. I apply it before I use anything else. Not only do I use oily products, but they are also heavy and creamy. So far I have been using pink lotion hair lotion and Cantu curling cream with coconut oil. Who knows it might change after some time. What will not change is the texture of the products and the base oil itself. I usually let my hair get wet in the shower I can’t remember the last time I used a shower cap, if I need to use something for my hair in the shower, I will use a silk scarf. Mainly because my hair is freshly washed. if my hair isn’t so freshly washed and it is not wash day, I will let my hair get damp in the shower, and let it air dry later. Deep condition with Shea Butter Shea Butter melted, is another oil I use, but I use it mixed with a conditioner, I’m not picky with my conditioners anymore. Just as long as it is thick and creamy like my other hair products. Also, the purpose behind deep conditioning is to let the conditioner sit in your hair for 30 minutes or so. I believe its much better for your hair and it allows you to have a break from your wash day. Keep hair moist Never let my hair dry out, if it becomes dry I just re-apply the products or it might be time to wash my hair. Constantly braid At night I keep my hair in braids, or if my hair is reaching the end of the month and its time for more products or a wash day. I just do what is called a protective style. Clips end at the end of wash day Clipping my ends at the end of the wash day is another source for hair growth. keeping ends aren’t good, they are considered unhealthy. Therefore I trim mines at the end. No heat Straight hair isn’t for everybody, and it is hard to maintain. I can get a blow out one day, the next day I am going to need another one. Constant heat isn’t good for hair, once I stopped straightening my hair it started to grow. Diet includes water and less sugar Water is something the body will always need, its the most common thing that helps the body stay healthy and look good. That includes hair. Things I should do, but I don’t. and why I don’t Hair mask every three months....nah I feel I don’t have any problems with my hair, such as a dry scalp, frizziness or thinning hair, so I don’t bother. I dry my hair with a towel I should dry my hair with a T-shirt, instead, I choose a towel. It’s just easier to clean up after on wash day. Plus, it is not the end of the world, and my hair will not fall out immediately. All the things I do to take care of my hair, one bad thing will not kill me. Not enough protective styles I just feel the protective styles aren’t for me, and my look. I do what I can to stay afrolicious as much as possible. Detangle after conditioning instead of during You are supposed to detangle while the conditioner is in your hair. It prevents breakage and makes your hair easy to detangle after the product is rinsed out. I am pretty much set in my ways, and I have my ways of doing my hair.
