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

How to Care for Your Curly Hair-Styling Curly Hair

1Use a diffuser when you blow dry. Place a diffuser over your hair dryer before blow drying your hair. This lessens your hair’s exposure to heat, and allows you to style your hair as you blow dry.
· You should always apply a heat protectant before blow drying your hair.
· Flip your hair over your head. Start diffusing at the roots, and stop at the midway point between your hair and your roots. This should give your hair some volume for the day.
· Use a lower setting on your blow dryer. Limit blow drying to twice a week to avoid drying out your hair. Curly hair should normally dry naturally.
 
2Detangle your hair with your fingers and a wide-toothed comb. Something like a paddle brush is not appropriate for curly hair. Regular brushing can cause split ends and frizz. If you have tangles, get them out with a wide-tooth comb and your fingers.
· Never start brushing at your roots. This can cause strands of hair to break. Start the detangling process at the end of your hair and work your way up.
· The wide-tooth comb should be able to comb out some tangles. You may have to use your fingers at the same time as the comb to work out more difficult tangles.
 
3Use a low heat setting when flat ironing.As curly hair is prone to being drier than average hair, you should never flat iron at a high heat. Excessive use of heat treatments like a flat iron can cause your curls to grow limp.
· Never set a flat iron higher than 400 degrees. If your flat iron only comes with a high and low setting, use the low setting.
· Do not flat iron too often. If your curls seem to be becoming limp, or your hair becomes very frizzy, you may want to avoid heat treatments for a bit.
 
4Choose gels and creams to style and moisturize your hair.Product can help style curly hair, and it can also keep it from becoming too dry. Stop by a local salon or department store and stock up on products that meet your needs.
· If your hair is becoming coarse, go for a silicone serum. Apply the serum to hair before brushing or styling it. If your hair is getting thin and fair, a silicone spray can work. Spritz only a small amount of your hair, as a little goes a long way.
· To keep your style intact, you have a few options. If you do not want your hair to look too stiff, go for styling lotions and gels labeled “lightweight.” If your hair tends to be somewhat uncontrollable, you may need a stronger product. Sculpting-gels and extra strong creams can help.
 
5Use only a small amount of anti-frizz serum. Anti-frizz serum can help your hair look smoother, and may help eliminate frizz after showering or blow drying your hair. However, a little bit goes a long way. You only need a dime-sized portion of frizz serum for it to be effective. Make sure to smooth the serum evenly throughout your hair.
