6 Tips For African Natural Hair Care

By Kevin Olson


A lot of people find it difficult to maintain natural locks because it has not been processed or smoothed. Your hair, also referred to as strands, mane, or locks are often frizzy at the ends and curly. There are right and wrong products you can use for African natural hair care. These six tips will help you master natural hair care.

Clean strands are a step in the right direction for natural or organic care for your locks. It's a lot more work to care for your strands when it is not processed. Perms and relaxers contain chemicals that cleanse your strands. Although there is more work to care for organic locks, the strands are often stronger than those that have been introduced to chemicals.

A dry scalp is never a good thing. It can cause a lot of problems, and may even become painful. Without moisturizer, African American locks can become dull in appearance, dry, and brittle in texture, which can lead to severe, and sometimes permanent damage. A healthy scalp promotes healthy locks that do not have split ends and are not fragile.

The products you use will make a difference in how manageable your strands are. Hair that is pure requires a lot more effort to care for than chemically processed locks, and the products can be more expensive. It is important to use products that have been specially made for your strands because you can damage them, causing them to be ripped or torn from your head.

A flat iron can help you maintain and control your strands by keeping them pressed and straight. Depending on the flat iron you are looking for, they can be very inexpensive or ridiculously expensive. You should consider your strand type before you buy a specific type of flat iron. Some people have very curly strands, while other people have straight, but flat strands.

Curling irons can be used to straighten, as well as curl your locks. If you have thick or very curly strands, it is in your best interest to flat iron your strands first, and then curl them for the best results. Curling your strands will not be too much of a problem, especially after you use a flat iron. You should buy a curling iron and flat iron that is ceramic and protects your hair.

Blow dryers can be beneficial to your locks if used correctly, but when used incorrectly, it can cause severe or permanent damage, and even burns. It's not always a good idea to let your natural strands air dry. Even when you use moisturizer, the strands become brittle and fragile, which can cause breakage and split ends.

Your strands have to be protected and properly cared for. You can use a variety of different products to keep your strands healthy and strong. The trial and error process may take a while in order to figure out which products work best for your locks. The type of strands you have and texture play a major role in the products you select, and how well it works.
