The first step to mastering your natural hair is understanding how to wash it properly. The high coil density of 4C hair makes it prone to knotting and dryness
Dreadlocks have long stood as a profound symbol of cultural identity and personal expression. Today, they are widely embraced as a beautiful, protective hairstyle deeply rooted in African heritage
Applying oil to dry hair without a water-based moisturiser underneath is counterproductive, as the oil simply coats the hair, leaving it susceptible to brittleness and breakage
One of the first signs is that the hair’s outer cuticle layer becomes permanently lifted, which causes it to absorb water quickly but lose it just as fast
The quality of the water, particularly its mineral content and ‘hardness’, can have a detrimental effect on the hair shaft and scalp
The chemicals used in relaxing weaken the hair fibre, leaving it more susceptible to dryness, brittleness and breakage, especially at the delicate point where new growth meets the relaxed strands
If your natural hair seems to shrink the moment you step outside, you're not alone. The biting cold and unpredictable rain can be incredibly unforgiving to 4C natural hair
