1.Use a good shampoo and conditioner.
Don’t use bathing soaps in your hair for hair wash days. Get a shampoo and conditioner good for your hair texture and wash your hair at least once in every week. Use leave-in conditioners after to prevent the hair from knotting. No one loves to see their hair in knots when they have a comb in hand.
2. Don’t keep the hair thirsty
For African natural hairs, water is necessary. Don’t keep the hair thirsty, consistently apply water to your hair. That’s one benefit of keeping your hair natural, you get to wet it without worries after a very hot day. Drink enough water daily too, it works magic for the hair.
3. Oil treatments

4. Hair wraps before bed
