Check Out Tips Below

1. Low Manipulation Styles -Wash n Go's, Twist outs, braid outs, ponytails, and even protective styles don't require to much strain on the hair and can last for awhile.

2. Satin or Silk Scarves/Hats -Be sure to protect your natural hair before bed with a silk/satin scarf or pillow to reduce shedding. Also, it is cold outside and you may need to wear a hat so make sure the one you buy has a stain isolation so the hat won't damage your hair. Buy a cute one here 

3. Co-Wash -Everyone knows washing your hair with shampoo strips the hair of its natural oils so I would definitely invest in a cleansing conditioner that moisturizes while it clarifies the hair.  Some good brands to try include: Shea Moisture, Camille Rose, and Mi'chelle Organics.

4. Detangle Hair w/ Wide-Tooth Comb - To reduce shedding always detangle hair while moisturized or wet. Use a wide tooth comb to ensure to ride your hair of knots.

5. Find Out Your Hair's Porosity Level -You can either have low, medium or high porosity level hair. This determines how well your hair retains moisture.

6. Keep a Clean Scalp -Wash your hair at least once a week or once every two weeks to reduce product build up in hair.

7. Deep Condition -The cold winter air can cause your hair to dry out so make sure you deep condition more often to reduce breakage and damage.

8. NO Heat ! -Reduce the use of hair dryers and flat irons. Heat can permanently alter your curl pattern and can stunt hair growth. Make sure to use heat on hair sparingly and always use a heat protectant !

9. Get a Trim- Trim your hair as needed. If you see you have a lot of split ins or damage just get a new cut and you'll be amazed what it can do for you.

10. Be Consistent -Create a hair routine to maintain length and moisture
