Five
Tips For Black Hair Care
By

Many hair care products are designed to strip moisture
out of the hair, and this is the opposite of what Black hair needs.
3. Avoid brushing your hair. Use a wide toothed comb, or
your fingers, to work with your hair. Brushes can destroy Black hair by
shearing it out of the scalp.
4. Avoid sleeping in hair accessories such as curlers,
barrettes, scrunchies, head bands, etc. Wearing these kinds of accessories
when sleeping puts unnecessary stress on the hair and can lead to hair
damage.
5. Work with your hair to try and find a hairstyle that
doesn't put tension on your scalp. Many Black women suffer from traction
alopecia from wearing tight braids, extensions, hair pieces, hair rubbers,
and wigs. If worn frequently, these will pull the hair out and cause the
hairline to recede. One style that is easy to do with medium length natural
Black hair is to wet the hair, gently comb it, smooth it back and gather it
into a scrunchie. Just be sure to take the scrunchie out at night. Another
style for natural Black hair that is short in length is to wear a soft
fabric headband around the head. Match the headband fabric to the color of
your outfit for a nice look.
