ALWAYS KEEP AFRO HAIR MOISTURIZED
Natural oils can struggle when travelling down curly hair shafts, so moisture retention is especially important. Use oils, deep conditioners, and protective styles to keep your hair hydrated from root to tip.

PROTECT YOUR HAIR AT NIGHT
Ensure that your hair is being cared for around the clock by keeping it protected at night. A satin bonnet, scarf or pillowcase will minimize frizz and keep your styles looking great all week, so your cotton sheets do not cause havoc!
TRIAL AND ERROR
No two heads of afro hair are the same! If you are just starting your journey then do not be disheartened if you have a washday fail, you just need to find what works for you. Try new things and before long you will learn exactly what your hair needs.
The story of the black hair love is one of slavery, protest, tears, self-hatred, rebellion, and finally, self-love. From past to present, natural hair care holds an important key to black history and thanks to important figures such as Madam C.J. Walker, a profound transformation historically and socially.
