Growing & Maintaining Your Natural Hair Guide
There is no such thing as bad hair (unless you damage it). It's all about maintaining and taking care of it.

Hair Types
Type 2: Wavy

• More prone to frizz.
• Using anti-frizz products will help maintain good looking waves.
• Try your best to keep your fingers out of wavy hair, the more you play with it = the more frizz you get.

Type 3: Curly

• Climate dependent (Humidity = Frizz).
• Lack of care = dull and damaged curls.

Type 4: Kinky Curly Coily

• Driest hair type (more prone to breakage).
• Use a gentle touch. Detangle and cleanse softly.
• Moisturize daily to avoid breakage.
• Avoid mineral and petrolatum oils.

Tips

• Only wash your hair no more than twice a week. Washing everyday strips your hair of natural oils and causes thinning.
• Never blow dry your hair it will cause heat damage. Air drying is the best way to go especially to avoid frizzing.
• Never brush your hair when its wet, the brush will pull your hair strands.
• Comb through your hair gently when styling with oils or when you're in the shower.
• When using a hair pick, lift rom the roots upwards. This will lift your hair and give you more bounce/definition.
• Use leave in conditioner 1-3 times a week unless you have type 4 kinky hair, use it everyday.
• Sleep with satin surfaces (pillows, scarf etc) to avoid frizzing overnight.
• When applying oils to your hair, apply it on your finger tips first and massage your scalp then to the rest of your hair gently.
• If you notice split ends, go to a hair professional and ask them to clip it for you.
• Use overnight routines to prep and help style your hair for the next day. (working on a post of youtube vid tutorials)
• MOST IMPORTANTLY: Have a good diet, what you consume affects your hair.

Adding the scarf with the pillowcase is such a good move

I got two off Amazon like these (haven't shopped there in a while and there wasn't anything particular about them just big and bright colors/patterns like these, same price point + black people be killing it on Etsy ) -

This is the man thot cut right?

Ima going for this cut

clueless

yeah this a thot cut . it's clean. but if you tryna go for a traditional look as far a fades go, peep page 10. it's a normal high fade but only looks good with short hair imo

Ok I see, what kinda haircut would tou recommend for someone wearing dress casual clothes like Mossimo Dutti?

Going for a clean professional look but at the same time want style, I don't want to look basic/stale

clueless

4y

honestly bro, any clean fade or taper styled with some professional attire will give you the professional look. like even them NBA rookies with the crazy hairstyles on draft night have the professional look

I said f*** it and cut my s***. Beginning with the end in mind instead of over course correcting. Pray for me...

What you guys use on your beard to wash it? Also what oils?

Not trying to cop some s*** made for straight hair

Surprised Aunt Jackie’s Don’t Shrink gel isn’t in the OP

Was messing with this girl and saw her apply it after a shower, had her curls looking magnificent

Copped a jar the next day and haven’t looked back since

But I’ve heard you get comparable results with just eco

Also, s/o to As I Am. The Double Butter cream is overpriced af but it’s a decent moisturizer for my hair

After 4 long years...I've come to the realization my dreads have come to the end of their run :

Kinda thinking of getting a high top like Tyler. The best thing to do though is to let my new growth grow some before chopping it all off??? So I'm not completely bald?

for sure let some new growth grow in. you don’t wanna bean head
