Many women would absolutely love to have Afro-Caribbean hair, which, despite its certain qualities, is stunning without any treatment, and if you are blessed with this unique type of hair, caring for it is important. Here are a few tips from the pros about Afro-Caribbean hair care.
- Always Condition After Washing – While Afro hair does not require the same frequency of washing that other hair types do, you do need to use a good conditioner after every wash. The essential oils that Afro hair needs get stripped after a wash, so they do need to be replaced.
- Avoid the Hair Dryer – Any kind of heat or friction will have a negative impact on Afro-Caribbean hair, so avoid using dryers if possible. Also, you should try to avoid using heat tongs, which also damage fine hair.
- Using the Right Salon – If you are based in South London, there is a great Afro-Caribbean hair salon in Fulham, who really do understand how to work this delicate hair type, and whenever you have a special occasion, make sure you book a date for some hair styling. The stylist would have a large portfolio of styles and would help you choose something that suits your personality.
- Hydration is Everything – Afro-Caribbean hair needs moisture at all times, and with some trial and error, you can find a good nourisher and use that frequently to replenish lost moisture. Your stylist should be able to recommend good quality hair care products specifically designed for Afro hair, which are essential to keep your hair looking and feeling healthy.
With a little TLC, Afro-Caribbean hair can be styled in many different ways, but do try to avoid heat treatments, as they will cause your hair to frizz and split.
