OUR TIPS TO KEEP YOUR HAIR BEAUTIFUL FOR LONGER

The ultimate guide for keeping your raw or virgin hair looking flawless and feeling fantastic. Whether you’re new to the raw hair game or a seasoned pro, these tips will help you maintain your mane and rock your natural style every day.

How to proficiently care for your hair

1. Washing Your Hair

  • Frequency: Wash your raw hair every 1-2 weeks to keep it clean without stripping away natural oils.
  • Products: Use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners to keep your hair hydrated and prevent dryness.
  • Method: Gently detangle your hair before washing. Use lukewarm water and apply shampoo to your scalp, letting it cleanse your hair as it rinses out. Follow up with a moisturising conditioner from mid-lengths to ends.

2. Deep Conditioning

  • Why: Deep conditioning helps to restore moisture, shine, and elasticity to your hair.
  • How: Apply a generous amount of deep conditioner to your hair, focusing on the ends. Use a wide-tooth comb to distribute the product evenly.
  • Tip: Cover your hair with a shower cap and let the conditioner work its magic for 30 minutes. For extra hydration, use a heat cap or wrap your head in a warm towel.

3. Detangling

  • Tools: Use a wide-tooth comb or a detangling brush.
  • Products: Apply a leave-in conditioner or a detangling spray to add slip and make the process easier.
  • Method: Start from the ends and work your way up to the roots, gently detangling knots without pulling or breaking the hair.

4. Styling

  • Heat Styling: Limit the use of heat tools to prevent damage. Always use a heat protectant spray before blow-drying, straightening, or curling your hair.
  • Protective Styles: Opt for braids, twists, or buns to protect your hair from daily wear and tear. These styles also help to retain moisture and promote growth.
  • Natural Styles: Embrace your natural texture with styles like wash-and-go’s, twist-outs, and braid-outs. Use styling creams and gels that enhance your curls and provide hold without crunchiness.

5. Night Care

  • Protection: Sleep with a satin or silk bonnet, scarf, or pillowcase to reduce friction and prevent breakage.
  • Moisturising: Lightly spritz your hair with water and apply a leave-in conditioner or oil to keep your hair hydrated overnight.

6. General Tips

  • Trimming: Regular trims every 8-12 weeks help to get rid of split ends and keep your hair looking healthy.
  • Nutrition: Your diet plays a big role in hair health. Eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, and stay hydrated.
  • Products: Always choose high-quality, natural products that cater to your hair type. Avoid products with harsh chemicals that can damage your hair over time.

FAQ

Q: How can I tell if a product is sulfate-free?
Check the ingredients list. Sulfate-free products will not list ingredients like sodium lauryl sulfate or sodium laureth sulfate.

Q: How often should I deep condition my raw hair?
Deep condition your hair every 1-2 weeks, depending on your hair’s needs. If your hair feels dry, increase the frequency.

Q: Can I colour my raw or virgin hair?
Yes, but it's important to consult a professional to minimise damage. Always use colour-safe products to maintain your hair’s health and vibrancy.
