Learn How To Moisturize African American Hair

By Dennis Olson


Having a mane that is healthy and long enough to run a few fingers through is the desire of many who suffer from breakage. While there are many products on the market that make outrageous claims, the most logical method is to keep it simple. Instead of listening to false promises, it helps to moisturize African American hair so that breakage and split ends are a thing of the past.

There are many things that can cause a mane to become dry or unmanageable. These factors range from heredity to putting in weaves and wigs but not taking care of the hair underneath. While a person cannot change their genetic makeup or should give up wearing extensions, they can transform their locks.

One reason why some of these products are not recommended for regular use is that they contain a lot of chemicals. Although drug agencies have pulled many personal care products from shelves because they contained carcinogens, it can be difficult to flag every brand. The best way to care for hair and skin is to use natural ingredients as often as possible.

Those who use a chemical straightener should be especially cautious when it comes to maintaining that salon look. One way is to invest in a quality moisturizing product but this requires knowing texture needs, like whether chemical damage or coloring is an issue. The best choices have a lot of pure oils listed in the ingredients and contain little or no alcohol.

A lot of people make their own moisturizer that uses mostly aloe vera or vitamin E oil. Although making home hair products takes time and a little patience, it pays off for those who may be on a budget. It can also be a good backup for those who are loyal to premium products or those which are hard to find in most stores.

These days, people love the natural untamed look but this does not mean that their mane should be neglected. For best styling, uneven or overly dry strands should be trimmed every few weeks. To make the best use of care products, trims or cuts should be done before washing. This way, the product is not wasted and it will make styling easier.

Most of the inexpensive brands use either a lot of water, alcohol, or petroleum in their products and very little pure oil or another moisturizer. At the same time, not all premium brands are intended for extra dry textures but some people find making their own to be the best solution. There are many recipes for natural or Black textures to be found online with simple directions and measurements.

Although it may take time to find the perfect routine, the important thing is to stick with it. If an individual finds that their hair is not growing after a couple of months, it may be wise to visit a dermatologist. They may be able to give insight as to what is occurring or write a prescription for something to stimulate the roots.
