ways on how to maintain, and grow your natural hair

well maintaining your hair during the summer or winter isn’t quite easy. There are lots of way to maintain the natural hair during this season. Especially in Nigeria where we have the dry season our hair tend to break due to the sun exposure, dust etc. And this cause dryness and breakage on the hair, causing alot of Nigerian girls to complain alot about their hair, and most of the complain you gert is “my hair is too strong well i can’t continue keeping this, let me apply relaxer, or maybe when the see a girl with full hair they would be like omg your hair is full what hair products are you using?? Hmmm well calm down okay? there are alot of tips i would be writing on hair growth and maintainance.

okay so if your natural hair is medium length, long or short and it breaks most times and then you tend to complain about it just like me (back then) well all you need to do is sit back, take a chill pill and just watch your hair transform overnight.

Always use protective styles:

all thaks to our wigs which has helped alot of lazy lol naturalistas not to bother them selves about braiding the hair. protective styles was created in order to help our natural hair grow without being disturbed or manipulated. Its advisable to always put your hair in protective styles such as cornrows etc. with this, it helps to speed up hair growth and protect it from breakage and direct sunlight

Removing protective styles

when in protective styles, don’t leave your hair there for too long at least every 3 weeks you can wash and style it..in order to make your scalp breathe. Leaving your hair in braids or any protective styles for too long, cause hair breakage and your front hair loss.

Washing the hair and applying hair mask.

its good to wash the hair at least once every week with a mild shampoo or a hir conditioner. Not choosing the right shampoo could cause damage to the hair, you need to check out the ingredients before buying any. Washing the hair everytime sometimes could break your hair and remove alot of nutrients on tge hair. You could actually keep a schedule on when to wash your hair.

avoid tight hair styles
When you want to make any hair, avoid your hair being too tight or when tied up in a bun. it becomes very tight. And it cause hair thinning. Always go for a bun that isnt too tight
exercise
Eat right, exercise, drink alot of water, because growth start from within okay? dont worry with time your hair will grow, and also avoid comparing hair with other girls hair,this slows growth. And also. Avoid combing your hair when its wet. This could lead to hair loss. Always comb your hair when damp

Moisturizer
well our hair needs water.. mist of the times i just mix shea butter an coconut oil and then rub it all over my hair. and then spray water on my hair using a spray bottle. This method helped me from breakage and loss of hair

When you want to sleep cover your hair with a satin bonnet or sleep in a satin pillw case this helps to keep in moisture. Sleeping without out this expose it
to damage and a lot of breakage.
