The 5 Essentials of Relaxed and Natural Hair Care
5. Nightly Hair Wraps
And finally, let’s close with the biggie- wrapping your hair at night! As I wrote before, our hair (natural and relaxed) is the driest of most hair types and highly prone to damage. And one of the times our hair is most prone to damage is when we are rolling around in our sleep. The damage occurs because our pillowcases and linens (especially those cotton ones) literally suck moisture out of our hair. The linen fibers can also “catch” on our hair and cause breakage. So wrap your hair at night with a silk or satin scarf/cap. These types of wraps will help hold in hair’s moisture and are very effective at protecting your hair while you sleep- relaxed and natural.
And that’s all ladies! I hope this article was helpful. And if you want more hair articles/advice, you can find me on Facebook, my blog, and Twitter.
Have a happy hair day! 🙂 – Mauh!
