Caring for Black Hairs
Jan 19^th, 2009, 2:31am

Hi................,
These are some good tips for caring for a black hairs.
1. When washing the hair, gently massage the scalp and avoid pulling and tugging at the hair strands. Hair is at its most vulnerable when it is wet, and African-American hair is more vulnerable than other hair types. Thus, extra care is needed.

2. When you are done washing your hair, remove excess water from your hair by blotting the water out instead of rubbing it with a towel. Just press your towel against your hair to capture the excess water.

3. Before you blow dry your hair, first apply a moisturizing lotion to close the cuticles of the hair and to keep the moisture in. And then, detangle the hair with a large-toothed comb. Your strokes should be from the ends upward to your scalp so you do not have to pull and tug at the tangles, something that happens when you comb your hair from scalp all the way down to the ends with just one stroke.

4. Hold the blow dryer at least six inches away from your hair and keep it moving around your head. Never point it directly to one section of your hair for a prolonged period. Better yet, try to blow dry your hair in sections. Start drying your hair from the bottom up to the top of your head. You can also try sitting with your head upside down and your hair cascading to the floor. This will effectively dry the inner strands of the hair without overheating the outer strands.

5. Once you are done with blow drying your hair, expose your hair to a blast of cold air in order to close the cuticles of each strand. This will keep your hair from losing too much moisture throughout the day.

African-Americans generally have black hair. Hair of their type is usually fine, porous and more prone to breakage. The curly Afro-American hair also has fewer layers of cuticle on each individual hair strand, making it fragile and more vulnerable to damage from heat, moisture loss and chemicals.

Afro-American hair should, therefore, be treated with extreme care. If you are an Afro-American with this typical black hair type, you should use hair care products that are moisture-rich and formulated to keep the moisture locked in your hair.
Here are other tips you can use for caring for your black hair.

1. When washing the hair, gently massage the scalp and avoid pulling and tugging at the hair strands. Hair is at its most vulnerable when it is wet, and African-American hair is more vulnerable than other hair types. Thus, extra care is needed.

2. When you are done washing your hair, remove excess water from your hair by blotting the water out instead of rubbing it with a towel. Just press your towel against your hair to capture the excess water.

3. Before you blow dry your hair, first apply a moisturizing lotion to close the cuticles of the hair and to keep the moisture in. And then, detangle the hair with a large-toothed comb. Your strokes should be from the ends upward to your scalp so you do not have to pull and tug at the tangles, something that happens when you comb your hair from scalp all the way down to the ends with just one stroke.

Caring for your child's hair can be a daunting experience, but it doesn't have to be. Armed with the proper education, the right technique, and, most importantly, the right products; you can master the art of caring for ethnic hair.

For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated with hair. Because my hair was easy to manage, I began styling my own hair at an early age. Using my long locks, I taught myself how to French braid and soon became a styling expert (or so I thought). As I matured, my interest in healthy Black hair peaked. I learned which hair care ingredients were good for my hair type and which ingredients were not. I learned how to shampoo, condition, and properly handle my hair. Most importantly, I learned to love my hair. With the proper care, your child will love his/her hair too

We all have different types of hair as dictated by our genes. Some of us are born with curly hair, while some of us have naturally straight hair. Some of us have heads of thick hair, while some have locks made up of fine strands.

Because we all have varying hair types with their own unique characteristics, our hair care regimen should be tailor-fit to the type of hair we have and not just because that particular regimen or product worked well with your girlfriend.

The same principle applies with racial hair types. In this article, we shall be talking about how to care for the kind of hair found on African-Americans.
