It depends on your hair type and lifestyle, but generally, washing your hair once a week or every two weeks is a good starting point. Over-washing can strip your hair of its natural oils.
Look for products with natural ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, and aloe vera. Moisturizing creams, leave-in conditioners, and oils can help keep your hair hydrated and healthy.
To reduce breakage, ensure your hair is well-moisturized, avoid excessive heat styling, and use protective styles. Also, detangle your hair gently using a wide-tooth comb or your fingers.
Protective styles, such as braids, twists, and buns, help protect your hair from damage and reduce the need for daily manipulation. They are important for maintaining hair health and promoting growth.
Keep your scalp clean and moisturized and wrap your hair at night with a satin or silk scarf/bonnet to reduce friction and maintain the style.
Shrinkage is a natural part of having curly or kinky hair. Embrace it! However, if you want to reduce shrinkage, try stretching techniques like banding, twisting, or braiding your hair.
