Taking The Time To Moisturize African American Hair

By Dennis Olson


Taking care of locks is essential to the outward confidence of a person. Whether a person wears their tresses curly, straight, or natural, it helps to keep the strands and scalp clean at all times. However, due to common dryness, many people grew up with various myths about maintaining this type of mane. The idea here is neatness and being able to moisturize African American hair for better manageability.

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.

This type of texture benefits from a hot oil treatment at least once a month. For those who have dense strands that do not benefit from simply applying conditioner, using this treatment or investing in a heating cap is ideal. The best types of oil are almond, coconut, or olive in a pure form.

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.

While a do it yourself attitude is great, making products at home that control extreme dryness requires a small investment. However, it can cost less and than visiting a salon more than once a month. Anyone can go online or read a book about treating a dry mane and experiment with different oils or foods that are dense with nutrients.

Just taking a half hour to section tresses every night to brush and add a moisturizer will pay off. Styles will last longer and growth is most likely to occur. However, not all moisturizers are made the same just like not everyone has the same hair type.

Using petroleum or mineral oil based products is not always recommended for regular use. Some people may use it sparingly on extra dry hair during extreme weather conditions but overall, it helps to use something that does not contain chemicals, like argan oil. While the mane may feel soft to the tough, inexpensive brands seldom have the capability to moisturize each strand, no matter how much is used.

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.
