1. Preparing: Detangle your hair before washing to minimize knots and tangles. Using a Detangling conditioner  works perfectly. 



2. Wetting: Thoroughly wet your hair with warm water.

3. Shampooing: Use a sulfate-free and moisturizing shampoo to cleanse your scalp and hair. Focus on the scalp, gently massaging with your fingertips. Avoid rubbing vigorously to prevent tangling.



4. Conditioning: Apply a hydrating conditioner to the length of your hair, focusing on the ends. Use a wide-tooth comb to distribute the conditioner evenly and detangle further.


5. Deep Conditioning: For added moisture, consider using a deep conditioner once a week, especially if your hair is dry or damaged.

6. Rinse: Rinse your hair thoroughly with cool water to seal the cuticles and retain moisture.


7. Drying: Pat your hair gently with a microfiber towel or an old t-shirt to remove excess water. Avoid rubbing with a regular towel, as it can cause frizz and breakage.

8. Styling: Allow your hair to air dry or use a diffuser on a low heat setting to reduce heat damage.

9. Moisturizing: Apply a leave-in conditioner or natural oil to keep your hair moisturized and manageable.

10. Protective Styles: Consider wearing protective styles like braids or twists to minimize manipulation and protect your hair.


Remember to listen to your hair's needs and adjust your routine accordingly. Everyone's natural hair is different, so finding what works best for you may take some experimentation.

What to do if it seems like your natural hair is not growing

@breezyspuffs (IG) If it feels like your hair isn’t growing, the issue may not actually be growth itself—hair grows about half an inch per month on average. The problem may be breakage, slow growth, or factors that hinder visible length retention. Here’s what you can do to promote healthier, stronger growth: 1. Check Your Routine for Breakage Causes: • Reduce heat styling: Excessive use of flat irons, curling irons, and blow-dryers can damage hair.

Moisturize Regularly: • Dry hair is more prone to breakage, so keep it hydrated. Use moisturizing conditioners, deep conditioners, or hair masks weekly, and consider leave-in conditioners or oils like coconut
