Detangling and Styling African Hair

1.Untangle knots using product and a detangling comb. It’s important to untangle knots as soon as they form and before you wash your hair. Begin by spraying the knot with a mixture that is three parts water to one part olive or coconut oil. Apply your regular conditioner directly to the knot and from the roots of your hair to the tips on the knotted section. Then use your fingers to gently remove hair from the knot
When you have partially untangled the knot, use a wide toothed
detangling comb to gently brush hair starting at the tips and working your way up the section, brushing down.
It’s important to never try to comb or detangle knotted hair when it’s
completely dry. Doing so is extremely difficult and will damage your hair. Dampening your hair and adding product makes the knotted section of hair more slippery so that the knot can come out easier.
2.a blow dryer to gently brush the hair with heat to straighten it.
3 Style your hair in protective and low manipulation styles. If you are looking to style your hair as opposed to wearing it down, try styling it in protective and low-maintenence styles that keep your hair in place and require no daily manipulation or styling of the hair.
Braids, including box braids and cornrows, are classic and stylish protective styles. If you don't have long hair, you can braid synthetic hair in to give you extra length.
Twists, including Senegalese twists and two strand twists are also good options for a protective style. Like with braids, you can also add in synthetic hair or even beads to add more to the look.
You can also do updos such as bantu knots or buns.
4 Choose a sewn-in weave. Wearing a weave can actually protect your hair as long as you choose a sewn-in weave as opposed to one glued to your hair, so If you want to wear a weave, have it professionally sewn-in to your hair unless you are very experienced. Visit your stylist every two or three weeks after getting the weave to make sure it stays tight to your hair and doesn’t pull on your natural hair
Glued in weaves often rip your natural hair out when they are removed, whereas sewn-in weaves can be removed without any damage done to your hair
You can also wear a wig if you don’t want to have a weave put in. Simply put your hair up, put a wig cap on, and wear the wig.
5 Let your hair rest in between two consecutive weaves. You can keep your weave in between one and a half to three months, depending on the advice of your stylist. After your second consecutive weave, you should get the weave removed and let your hair rest for about three weeks, as wearing weaves for too many months can strain your hair and scalp
6 Get your hair relaxed professionally. Relaxing your hair does do a certain amount of damage, but the damage is far less if you get it done professionally as opposed to doing it at home. After your first session, you will need to get your newly grown hair near your scalp touched up every few weeks so that it matches your relaxed hair, but never get your whole head of hair relaxed twice, as this can severely damage your hair

How to Maintain African Hair

African hair ranges from slightly wavy to extremely curly, but in general its texture does tend to be drier and curlier than Caucasian or Asian hair. Basic maintenance for African hair includes washing about once a week to avoid stripping the hair of its natural oils, and conditioning and moisturizing hair regularly to protect it from over drying. You should also reconsider the brushing and styling practices you use to avoid damage and breakage to your hair, as African hair tends to be brittle and prone to breakage if not cared for properly.

1. Washing and Conditioning African Hair

1.1Shampoo hair once a week. African hair tends to be naturally dry with minimal oil, which is why it isn’t necessary to use shampoo more than once a week. Shampooing your hair several times a week or even every day strips the oil that the hair needs from the hair shaft so that it becomes drier, frizzier and more prone to breaking.

African hair does not often get overly oily like Caucasian or Asian hair does when it is not washed for several days.

Do not wash tangled hair, as this will make the knots even worse. Always untangle hair and then wash.

1.2 Condition your hair every time you shampoo. Because African hair tends to be dry, it’s essential to use conditioner every time you shampoo your hair to restore moisture. When you condition, pay attention

especially to the ends of your hair, which are the most brittle, and keep the conditioner in your hair for a few minutes before washing it out.

1.3 Use a leave in conditioner in washed hair. After you finish washing your hair, add in a generous amount of leave-in conditioner to the wet hair to continue adding moisture to the hair. Try to find a product that contains coconut oil, shea butter or cocoa butter

1.4 Co-wash your hair between shampoos if physically active. If you exercise or build up a sweat regularly, you may feel the need to wash your hair more often than once a week to remove sweat or other buildup. Instead of using shampoo, wash with conditioner in between your weekly washes

Conditioner will gently wash away sweat or other buildup while keeping the healthy oils in your hair.

Make sure to use the conditioner on your scalp as well as down your hair shaft.

1.5 Using a leave-in conditioner or moisturizer on days when you don’t wash or condition your hair ensures that your hair stays hydrated and protected from damage. Use a light leave-in moisturizer formulated for African hair at the beginning of the day before styling your hair

Try to find a moisturizer that contains essential oils, which are absorbed into the hair and moisturize. Avoid products containing lanolin or other greasy ingredients that sit on the surface of the hair and weigh it down.

Spritz your hair with water, then apply the moisturizer, or find a moisturizer than can be used on dry hair. Use the moisturizer on all of your hair, but pay special attention to the tips of your hair, which are the oldest and driest.

1.6 Deep condition your hair once a month. In addition to your regular maintenance of your hair, doing a monthly or bimonthly deep conditioning treatment will make a visible difference to your hair, making it more moisturized and less brittle. Use a deep conditioning product according to the label or get it done professionally for the best results

Getting Wavy Hair with Braids and Twists

1

Prepare your hair. Before turning in for the evening, shampoo and condition your hair. Remove excess water by squeezing your locks with a towel. Brush through your tresses to remove any snarls. Divide your hair into two sections by creating a center part from the top of your forehead to the nape of your neck.

· You may divide your hair into more sections if you would like.

2

Create waves with french and standard 3-section braids. When left in wet hair overnight, basic 3-strand plaits create luxurious, all-over natural waves.

· Divide the left section into three equal subsections and plait the hair. French braid (or Dutch braid) your hair from the top of your left ear to the nape of your neck, gathering loose hair as your go. Once you reach the nape of your neck, braid the remaining hair in a standard 3-section plait. Secure the ends with a rubber band. Repeat on the right section.

· If you want loose waves, flatten the braids by pulling on the individual subsections.

3

Create waves with the fishtail braid. Leaving a fishtail braid in overnight will allow you to achieve a messier, smaller wave without the hassle of using a curling iron.

· Separate the left section into two equal halves. Grab the front subsection with your right hand and the back subsection with your left hand—your palms should face you. Section off a small piece of hair from the front subsection with your right index finger. Bring this hair across the front section and lay it in between the two subsections. Grad the hair with the left index finger and add it to the back subsection of hair. Repeat this process, but begin with the back subsection. Continue to alternate until you have reached the ends of your hair. Secure with a rubber band.

· Repeat this process on the right section. Your left hand will hold the front section and your right hand will grasp the back section

4

Create waves with a twisted rope braid.When you leave a twisted rope braid in your hair overnight, you will wake up with voluminous beach waves.

· Divide the left section of hair into two sub-sections. Tightly twist each subsection counterclockwise from root to end. While holding one end in each hand, tightly twist the subsections around each other in a clockwise motion until you reach the ends. Secure the twisted rope braid with a rubber band.

· Repeat this process on the right section.

5

Undo the braids and style your waves in the morning. Sleep with the braids in your hair. Upon waking up, remove the elastics and undo the braids. Tousle your hair with your fingers. Spray lightly with hairspray.[4]

· If you are using one of these methods in the morning or afternoon, leave your hair in braids until it is day. You may speed up the drying process with a blow dryer.
