An all-natural afro can look quite breath-taking but require a regular maintenance routine to stay in their best shape. The most important step in your hair care routine should be moisturising your ‘fro. This is because the coils in kinky hair make it difficult for the sebum produced by the scalp to reach the tips, leaving the hair drier and more prone to frizz.
Read on to learn more about the right way to moisturise your afro:
1. Use A Moisturising Cleanser
Regular shampoos contain harsh chemicals that dry your hair out and make it even more brittle. Instead, choose a moisturising cleanser that contains natural oils (avocado, coconut and almond work well) to give your curls a nourishing, moisture-rich boost.
2. Use A Moisturising Cream
Hair moisturising products, such as TCB Naturals Hair Food, are best applied after you shower, while your locks are still damp. Make sure to not overload your curls with too much moisturiser, as this can leave them wet and droopy.
3. Choose Residue-Free Moisturising Products
A good quality leave-in such as TCB Naturals Leave-In Treatment deeply moisturises and nourishes your hair. Regular use can leave your strands looking silky, healthy and smooth.
4. Protect Your Hair From The Elements
Whether with the use of a scarf or with styling products, make sure to protect your hair from excessive heat and dust to keep it from becoming frizzy and unmanageable. TCB Naturals Hair Pomade can soothe your scalp and prevent dryness, while the non-liquid format keeps it on your hair even in hot, harsh weather.
