1. Spritz Hair With Water Daily
Our strands love, love, love water! Sometimes dryness can be simply solved by adding water to your hair. We were constantly told to avoid water, but it is the saving grace.
Spritzing water daily works as a refresh without adding more product. It revamps your style without the extra buildup.
All you need for this is a spray bottle and water that is NOT hard on the hair.
2. Wash Your Protective Styles
Protective styling is great in moderation, but you have to let your hair breathe. Protective styles are great when you don't want to alter your hair too much or you are always touching it.
A lot of us curlies forget about wash day when we have our protective styles in and that can lead to our hair being super dry.
You can wash your hair while it is protected! Yes, you read that correctly! We recommend washing your protective style and then throwing on one of our turban towels to reduce frizz and the hairstyle being messed up!
3. Use A Butter/Oil To Seal Your Hair
Butters and oils should not be used in your hair frequently, especially in the summer months because they can cause buildup and prevent products from actually being absorbed into your hair. Using an oil like moringa or jojaba oil can go a long way in the fall to lock in the moisture and stop your curls from becoming dry too fast.
Your hair will naturally feel drier in the colder months, but there are always ways to extend our periods of moisture. You should still be washing your hair frequently and using both an oil and a gel to set your styles.
4. Use Satin Pillowcases and Bonnets
Our night time routine has to be just as important as your normal hair routine. You should always make sure to sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase if your bonnet is not lined with silk or satin.
A lot of curly naturals struggle with their curls looking super bomb when they do it and for the entire day, but then not so good the next morning. It's probably because they did not protect their curls at night properly. Protecting your curls with a bonnet locks in the moisture and saves the product on your hair.
Sleeping with a satin or silk pillow case will allow you to lose less moisture because less product is rubbing off of your hair and onto the pillow. Your curls will also still have shine and not be as frizzy.
