ever feel like your natural hair is just always so dry, no matter what you do? what's up with that?! well, due to the makeup of naturally textured hair, with it's curls & bends & twists, the natural oils (sebum) in the scalp take longer to travel down the hair shaft...
so our hair often ends up drier than less curly or straight textures. but there's hope... here are three ways you can help your hair retain moisture!
1
it's no secret that too much heat can cause hair to be overly dry. so try to limit the use of heat. when you DO use heat styling tools, always use a heat protectant & stay away from the highest heat settings. low to medium only!
2
you may think your cotton pillowcase is harmless but the cotton material absorbs moisture from the hair & can dry it out. instead, either sleep on silk or satin pillowcase or tie your hair down with a satin scarf to help your hair hold onto the moisture.
3
help you retain moisture because the ends (the oldest part of your hair & where moisture escapes first) are tucked in to help hold moisture within the hair shaft. whether it's a low bun or Senegalese twists, as long as the ends are covered, that's what matters!
