A healthy lifestyle will mean healthier hair for you

More and more   women especially celebrities are   beginning to enjoy wearing their hair chemical-free. The natural look is catching on and more than ever before, women are ignoring the stereotype about natural hair and embracing the comfort that natural hair provides. It takes a lot of courage though to start growing your hair from the beginning.

Actresses Nse Ikpe Etim and Kate Henshaw have mastered the art and what they bring to the red carpet is simply breath taking. Caring for natural hair is a different kettle of fish from caring for relaxed hair. Here are a few tips to help you.

Care tips for natural hair

1. Since black hair is kinky, use a wide tooth comb to comb through your hair. Thin comb or brushes will get caught in your hair and cause breakage. Avoid such.
2. Try your hands more on organic products and avoid products with mineral oils.
3. Do not shampoo your hair every day. If your hair is dry, rather than shampoo, wash with a conditioner.
4. Keep your hair well moisturised to prevent split ends. Seal moisture in with coconut oil or castor oil.
5. Avoid heat on your hair and that includes excessive use of flat iron or hair dryer.
