Being natural I have also become aware, it's like seeing the world for the very first time, things I once overlooked are now an important part of my regimen. If you are transitioning, thinking of transitioning, a newbie, or already natural there are a few things you must know.
- Water is your friend not your enemy
- Black hair is prone to dryness, so its very important to keep it moisturized at all times.
- Natural hair is very fragile so handle it with care.
- Toss the tight bristle combs and replace them with wide tooth comb ( I use plastic picks)
- Comb/detangle hair ONLY when it has conditioner in it, never comb while dry.
- Gently comb hair from tip to root.
- *do not comb against hair growth direction, this will pull your hair out; http://www.growafrohairlong.com/combbrush.html
- Working in sections makes getting through the entire head easier
- Silk bonnet helps tremendously at night
- Always keep your scalp clean and clear of products and buildup
- Deep condition/deep treatment (DT) at least 1x monthly
- DO NOT curse or get mad at your hair.
