Page 16 - What You Need To Know About Natural Hair Care

Exercise

Toned legs, bums and tums and a general healthy fit lifestyle that we all strive to

get by dedicating our precise time in the gyms, or running around the block or

attending classes, either one we all strive to achieve great results. What about my

natural hair? How do I maintain my hair when working out? How do I prevent my

hair from dryness if I constantly have to wash my hair after my work out?

Planning

This is key! Always plan what hairstyle to wear that is suited to the type of exercise

you do on a daily or weekly or whatever days you plan to workout, this is key to

keeping your hair looking great and moisturised.

What should I do to maintain my curls?

I love to put my hair in a protective hairstyle, simply because it's less manipulation

to my strands, I can wake up without having to style my hair while dropping my

child to school, and I can workout and leave in my protective style in until my wash

day.

I would suggest protective styling where you can leave your hair in for weeks or

when you conduct your wash day and in return, you are protecting your ends and

allowing your hair to breathe from constant manipulation.

Protective styles

- Buns

- Twist Outs

- Braids

Cleansing

I am not suggesting that you wash your hair each time you workout, because this is

a no no, and will strip the moisture out of your hair, and in turn, cause your hair to

become dry. I do suggest that you do the following method which will help to build

back moisture into your strands or help to retain moisture!
