When it comes to how to care for Afro hair, a good routine, both in terms of cleansing and styling, is key to controlling and enhancing your natural texture.
I, for one, used to faff so much with my hair, especially after I stopped relaxing it in my twenties. But once I understood the basics of my texture – and began incorporating the right products, like the best shampoos for Afro hair, into my routine – it really helped make hair washing and styling less of a palaver. Previously, I would dabble with the best hair masks and conditioners, but with no consistency, I would then wonder why my delicate texture was shedding or felt brittle and dry. Then, to quickly control my hair, I would constantly style it with super-hot tools – a big no-no, resulting in split and damaged strands.
