Detangling Comb

It will help you comb through your hair more quickly and efficiently than with a wide toothed comb or traditional brush. Say goodbye to painful brushing sessions and hair loss due to tangles and knots.

Spray Bottle

The spray bottle is used to rehydrate dull curls. It allows you to shape, moisturize, and stretch hair without soaking or re-wetting the whole head.

 Skinny Headbands

A classic headband never goes out of style for naturalistas, These skinny hair bands are the just the right blend of understated, polished style, secure grip, and are super lightweight.

Teasing Brush

This is so perfect for your baby hair, to smooth out your edges when you are going for a sleek look like Afro puffs.

Afro Comb

Every black woman needs an afro comb  to tease the roots of their natural  hair and bring out your inner Solange Knowles.

Silk Bonnet/Scarf

You should wrap your hair in a silk scarf at night or rest on a silk pillowcase to protect your style while you sleep because silk is a great fabric for smoothing back your hair.

Tail Comb

This type of comb is more of a styling comb mainly used for any kind of  hair. The tail of the comb is used for separating, straightening, and sectioning the hair for different styling processes.

Shower Cap

Deep conditioning is essential for your natural hair, get a good shower cap to lock the mositure when deep conditioning.

Ladies if you are new in the natural hair community, I advise you find any hair oil, this can be coconut oil, castor oil, olive oil, almond oil or even sheer butter that you can use for your hair and get a good leave in conditioner too.

These mistakes are;

Using the Same Shampoo All Year Round

This means shampooing the hair too frequently. Ideally, we should shampoo every other day. It is also advisable to switch shampoos occasionally to prevent buildup of certain ingredients (like silicone).

Every couple of months, replace your current shampoo with another formulated for your hair type.

We can also use a clarifying shampoo once a month for a healthy long hair.

Not Completely Wetting the Hair Before Shampooing

Without enough water, shampoo doesn’t lather—and you may be inclined to compensate by using more product, thus hurting your wallet and hair. Stand under the shower spray for an extra minute before using your shampoo.

Always Applying Your Shampoo to the Same Spot on your Scalp

You might notice that the top of your scalp is dry or flaky. Try alternating your routine by starting your shampoo at the nape of your neck and distributing the lather onto your hair before moving toward the top of your head.

De-tangling Your Hair With Your Fingertips

To avoid damaging hair, massage your scalp with your fingertips rather than your fingernails or palms.

Rinsing With Hot Water

This is one very wrong thing to do to your hair. This has damaged the scalp of a number of women. Piping hot water dries your scalp and hair. Use lukewarm instead, this helps to preserve your hair colour.

There you have it, the certain things we have always felt we do right without knowing the damage caused to our hair. Let’s begin to do things right in order to achieve a healthy scalp.
