How Do You Wear And Care For Natural African Descent Hair Styles?
Natural African descent hair is full bodied, full textured and full of possibilities. Men and women of African descent are choosing to wear their hair without the use of chemicals or heat. During the revival of African traditions and culture in the 1960s, natural hairstyles were embraced by people of African descent regardless of age, sex or profession. Afros, cornrows, braids, dreadlocks, sister locks and twists are easy to care for and highly expressive hair styles. Weaves and perms will cost you far more time and money to maintain. Prolonged chemical use may cost you your hair growth and your health. Embracing a chemical-free approach to styling will reward you with thicker, longer hair. Shampoo your hair an average of once a week. More frequent shampooing strips your hair and scalp of vital oils; less frequent shampooing allows a buildup of oils and dirt. Avoid clear or translucent shampoos. These shampoos do not supply the oils needed to restore the oil balance to your hair. Look
