Healthy Hair Care Tips for African American Hair

Your hair. It's the crown of glory on your head, highlighting your beauty and unique style. African American hair requires thoughtful care to ensure your locks remain strong and healthy, with maximum growth and shine. If you're looking for tips to help you on your hair care journey, you've come to the right place! Let's take a closer look at some of the things you can do to help ensure your hair is healthy and beautiful.

1. Limit Your Washes

While it can often be tempting to wash your hair multiple times per week, the process can strip your locks of their natural oils, leaving them dry and brittle. Yes, re-read that sentence! Additionally, many shampoos contain harsh chemicals that wreak havoc on sensitive locks, leaving them in worse condition than before. Optimally you should only wash your hair once, or every other week, with an all-natural and moisturizing cleanser. Consider placing it into protective styles in between washes to help keep your hair cleaner, longer. Try our gentle sulfate free cleanser, Lady Kiki’s Hair cleanser.

 

2. Use A High-Quality Conditioner and Oil Treatment

Conditioner is one of your best friends in ensuring your hair stays moisturized and healthy. Choosing a product with powerful yet gentle ingredients that penetrate deeply into every follicle will give you the best results, leaving your hair soft, supple, and full of shine. You can also Apply a hot oil treatment twice monthly, which will help seal in and protect your hair from damage while promoting growth. Try our softening Lady Kiki’s Moisturizer which can also be used as a conditioner and for scalp protection, our Growth Elixir.

3. Beware Of Heat

Ok, this tip is slightly controversial, and it's understandable why. While it's true that using heat on your hair doesn't necessarily lead to damage, many people use too high of a temperature and do multiple run-throughs, which will absolutely damage your hair. If you choose to use heat for styling, keep the temperature low and avoid multiple passes with your styling tool.

4. Limit Chemicals

Chemical relaxers and dyes can wreak havoc on your hair, causing damage and breakage and, in severe cases, substantial hair loss. If you choose to use one of these products, it's best to select natural, chemical-free options that won't harm your delicate locks. Also, avoid using them too often, limiting exposure to twice a year. Many women have opted to be completely chemical free, but struggle with how to manage their natural kinks and coils.

5. Avoid Styles That Are Too Tight

When styling your hair, avoid choosing anything that is too tight, which can damage, break, and pull-out strands. A good rule of thumb to follow is to remember that pain generally equals damage, so skip the super-tight styles and stick to healthy, hair-friendly options. Additionally, wearing protective styles that do not place stress on your edges is key.
