Tip#1: ALWAYS wear a satin bonnet, durag or scraf when you go to sleep. The friction of your hair and your cotton pillow will break your ends which will then lead you to breakage. Or you can buy a satin pillow case!
Tip#2: I know we all love to wash our hair. Sometimes we feel like its dirty every day or we just have the same routine in the shower. But, STOP using shampoo all the time! Shampoo dries out your hair and when your hair is dry it breaks. If you need to wash your hair every day, use conditoner! You should only you shampoo when you find its dirty or your products are starting to build up on your head!
Tip#3: Do not forget to use oils! Oils help grow your hair and seal in moisture. So after putting in your product, you can seal that moisture in with for example Black Castor Oil. Black Castor Oil help grow your hair as well. It is my favorite oil to use in the winter due to its thickness. Use other oils such as jojoba, avocado, almond, rosemary, peppermint, tea tree and many more!
Tip#4: If you live in a country where there is the season of winter, protect your hair! Do protective styles such as braids, weave, buns and more. You want to protect your hair from the cold and try your best not to expose it.
Tip#5:When you go to sleep, moisturize your hair and put it in braids or twists. This will help keep the moisture in your hair while you sleep and you will have let work to do the next morning!
