Black girl guide to healthy beautiful hair.

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Healthy hair gives you the confidence to go out with your natural hair.

Say goodbye to painful and expensive hairstyles, relaxers and heat. Today, we will talk about how to keep your hair healthy, glowing, and happy. Trust me.

Black girl hair is curly, cottony, mostly 4a, b, c. The curls get tighter as we go up 4a- 4c. Some people have more than one hair texture on their heads.

4c hair has the tightest curl pattern. These tight curl patterns are why many people see 4c hair as tough. I have 4c hair; I face these challenges too.

4c hair struggles🙄

  1. It dries out quickly because it struggles to retain moisture.
  2. Shrinkage
  3. Tangles
  4. Mattings
  5. Fragile, making it prone breakage.

Because of these issues, many people think black girl hair is untameable, coarse and doesn’t grow. Wrong wrong wrong.

Black girl hair grows; it is very versatile and easy to groom. You do not have to use heat or apply relaxers to your hair.

You must appreciate your curls because it is glorious and beautiful.

Tips for your hair

  • Help your hair retain moisture by using good moisturisers and a great sealant. A good moisturiser has water in it as the major ingredient. In addition, you can try using shea butter to seal in moisture.
  • Shampoo regularly; however, black girl hair doesn’t require daily shampooing; once every other week is okay.
  • Do not use shampoos with sulfate and parabens. Sulfates and parabens remove natural oils in the scalp.
  • Wash your hair in sections.
  • Detangle your hair with a wide tooth comb or use your fingers. Apply water and conditioner before detangling.
  • Do a weekly deep condition with a good oil or butter
  • Detangle in sections.
  • Braid or twist your hair before bed time to prevent it from detangling.
  • Do not over style your hair, give space between hairstyles to prevent breakage.
  • You can leave your hair in twists, twist outs, Bantu knots, puffs, afro, and buns.

The last tip for your hair is to love your hair. It is beautiful and worth loving.

I get a warm, tingling feeling when I write. Is this sensation love or an unknown medical condition? I was a blogger before I became a medical student. Sooo, I've combined my passions for Medicine and Writing to create MABS blog. This blog is my way of cultivating my creative side and reaching out to people who need simple solutions for common medical problems. To be a blogger, one needs to read more, be knowledgeable, and, most importantly, be true to oneself. I read many self-development books coupled with gruesome hours of studying in medical schools. Furthermore, I try to be true to myself, forgive myself, and forgive those who have hurt me so I can be deserving of forgiveness from those I hurt. My truth is that no one is perfect, but people can at least try to improve every day. I see this blog reaching tons of people, making an impact, and at least leaving a smile on my reader's faces. I love you in every way that manifests. Thank you for reading my blog, and I hope you learn something new.
