For most Black Women hair care is an essential part of self care. Whether you’re rocking a tampered cut or styling with a low cute fade; having strong, healthy hair has always been the goal. Here are a few ways to help with your crown maintenance and a few DIY projects you can try while in at home.
Design Essentials Heat Protector
When I was heavy on the ‘creamy crack’ this product gave my hair life! “Design Essentials Heat Protector”, is great for natural or relaxed hair. Before placing heat on your hair, place a few drops in your palm and lather into the natural or relaxed hair, then apply heat. This’ll give your hair a natural and shiny bounce.
DIY Hair Transition Conditioner
While transitioning from relaxed to natural, one of the best ways to train your hair are natural ingredients. This is a healthy meal for your hair without using any harsh chemicals. This DIY recipe calls for mayonnaise, 1 egg and honey, add a little oil. Mix well together then lather into your scalp like a hair mask. Let this sit in your hair for at least 15 minutes, rinse well then continue with styling.
DIY Natural Shampoo
Coconut is great for both hair and skin. When mixed with Castile soap and Coconut Milk, it creates a creamy heavy for natural hair. Coconut will strengthen and moisturize your hair while leaving it with a shiny luster.
Apple Cider Vinegar Loc Detox
It’s easy to catch build up when you’re growing Locs. Some products leave residue or cause your locs to become dry and stiff. This will help cleanse your hair from dirt build up. You’ll need water, 2 cups of apple cider vinegar, and ½ cup baking soda. Mix well, and then dip your locs into the water. Begin messaging the water into your hair and scalp for about 15 minutes then rinse well.
DIY Hair Mist
Sometimes our hair just needs a little water. Natural hair grows like a plant; we have to water and nourish our plants so that they’ll grow. Treat your hair as if it were your plant. A water based hair mist is great way to keep your hair hydrated. You’ll need a spray bottle, water and your hair’s favorite hair oil. Pour a small amount of oil in the spray bottle, then add water and shake well. You can add a few drops of essential oils if you like a fragrance.
