Black Hair Care Tips

# A healthier lifestyle will result in healthier hair.

# Massaging your scalp on a regular basis will stimulate oil production, which will help reduce the dryness of your hair.

# Daily shampooing is not recommended, ethnic hair is dryer than other types of hair, shampooing strips away the oils from your hair so try shampooing once every 3 to 7 days instead.

# If you engage in daily activities that cause you to sweat, it is recommended that you rinse your hair out with water and only use shampoo on occasion, but if you feel the need to use a mild shampoo, go ahead and do so.

# Use a mild moisturizing shampoo with a low PH level when washing your hair.

# Don't use a 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner, use a separate shampoo and conditioner, 2 in 1's aren't suited as well for dry hair.

# When washing your hair rub only in one direction to avoid tangling.

# Shower with warm water, hot water can dry and/or irritate the scalp.

# Oil your scalp after shampooing, with your hair still moist, massage the oil into your scalp and brush out to the ends of your hair.

# Use a conditioner when you shower, it'll moisturize your hair, give it extra protection, add shine, reduce static, and makes it easier to untangle.
