Moisturize African American Hair For Faster Growth

By Dennis Olson


Having a mane that is healthy and long enough to run a few fingers through is the desire of many who suffer from breakage. While there are many products on the market that make outrageous claims, the most logical method is to keep it simple. Instead of listening to false promises, it helps to moisturize African American hair so that breakage and split ends are a thing of the past.

There are many things that can cause a mane to become dry or unmanageable. These factors range from heredity to putting in weaves and wigs but not taking care of the hair underneath. While a person cannot change their genetic makeup or should give up wearing extensions, they can transform their locks.

This type of texture benefits from a hot oil treatment at least once a month. For those who have dense strands that do not benefit from simply applying conditioner, using this treatment or investing in a heating cap is ideal. The best types of oil are almond, coconut, or olive in a pure form.

Whether a person wears their tresses natural or uses a chemical straightener, moisturizing should not be looked at as a chore. For one, if hair is in reasonably good condition, it is not necessary to use a lot of products. Even if there is some damage, all it takes is something to lubricate each strand and maybe a light pure oil to control scalp flaking.

While a do it yourself attitude is great, making products at home that control extreme dryness requires a small investment. However, it can cost less and than visiting a salon more than once a month. Anyone can go online or read a book about treating a dry mane and experiment with different oils or foods that are dense with nutrients.

Using products that contain natural oils, aloe vera, and rich butter like shea are best for reversing dryness. While some pure products may not be easy to find at all stores, it helps to choose a brand that does not use extracts or has high levels of alcohol listed on the ingredient label.

Most of the inexpensive brands use either a lot of water, alcohol, or petroleum in their products and very little pure oil or another moisturizer. At the same time, not all premium brands are intended for extra dry textures but some people find making their own to be the best solution. There are many recipes for natural or Black textures to be found online with simple directions and measurements.

Although it may take time to find the perfect routine, the important thing is to stick with it. If an individual finds that their hair is not growing after a couple of months, it may be wise to visit a dermatologist. They may be able to give insight as to what is occurring or write a prescription for something to stimulate the roots.
