Developing a hair routine is essential to properly care for your hair. Some of us want length others just want to have curls that pop. Whatever your focus might be, we can all agree that we do not want dry brittle hair. Therefore establishing a flexible routine from the start is a powerful tool to assist you with your natural hair journey.
I've change my hair routine several times and currently I’m doing the following:
- Once a week (usually on Saturday mornings) I apply a homemade deep conditioner and also shampoo hair.
- Through out the week I keep my hair moisturized by spraying my hair each morning with a water and oil combination.
- Protective style at least 2 weeks out of each month.
- Every 3 months I have my ends trimmed by a professional natural hairstylist.
Once a week routine:
1. Begin by completely wetting hair or shampoo hair (usually I use black soap or Shea Moisture shampoo)
- Then part hair into 4 sections- down the middle from front to back and then accross from ear to ear.
- Apply a Pre-poo (coconut oil with peppermint oil slightly heated) then add the deep conditioner- one section at a time.
- Once you complete each section braid it so its out of the way. Continue until you’re finish with all 4 sections.
- Cover with plastic cap for at least 30 minutes.
- After about 30 minutes- detangle and washout conditioner one section at a time.
- Apply leave in conditioner and then style.
Protective hairstyles are great to prevent split ends, hair breakage and to promote growth. A hairstyle is considered protective when a majority of the hair is tucked away, especially the ends. Styles such as braiding, twisting, bantu knots and locs. Protective styles can be achieved by almost any hair length. If there is enough growth to twirl around a ratt-tail comb you can do a coil as a protective style.
