Here are the top 7 healthy hair tips for black women that form the basis of what makes yours healthy and beautiful.
Wash your hair once every 3-4 days - Water is the only thing that can truly moisturize your hair. Try not to go longer than a week without at least a conditioner rinse.
Deep condition your hair regularly - A thick crème based conditioner, hooded dryer and plastic cap = magic. These things are your best friends when you realize what they do for your hair.
Use protein conditioner at least once a month - Strong hair is healthy hair. Infusing protein is a must no matter what condition your hair is in. Balance moisture and protein so your hair doesn't get brittle and dry. A good ratio is 4-6 moisturizing treatments to 1 protein treatment.
Take care of your scalp - Hot oil treatments every 2-4 weeks ensure a healthy nourished scalp. Organic castor oil stimulates hair growth and a few drops of tea tree oil keeps flakes away.
Moisturize your ends daily - Sealing your ends keeps them from drying out and splitting. Healthy ends are the key to accumulating length.
Wear protective styles often - Protective styling keeps your hair shielded from drying air and over manipulation.
Trim your hair when it needs it - Having a set trimming schedule isn't necessary. Clip your ends when they need it and leave them alone if they don't.
I guarantee these healthy hair tips for black women will give you results if you put them to work. Take it a step further and use these tips to custom design your own healthy hair regimen.
