What are 5 tips for healthy hair?
Here are five tips straight from the American Academy of Dermatology.
1. Learn your hair type
Choose hair care products that say they are made for your hair type.
2. Wash based on your hair’s needs
Wash according to how often your hair gets dirty or oily. For Black hair, the AAD suggests washing once a week or every other week to reduce buildup that can dry hair out.
3. Shampoo the scalp, not the whole length
This cleanses built-up products, dead skin and excess oil where they collect.
4. Always condition
Conditioner moisturizes, detangles and makes hair easier to manage.
5. Protect your hair from heat and tension
Limit blow drying and hot tools, and make sure braids, cornrows or weaves are not too tight. As the AAD puts it, “pain equals damage.”
Wear a cap without sacrificing your style
Healthy hair also means not forcing it under a cap that doesn’t fit. Our patented natural hair hat adapter, Capizzy®, turns any fitted or snapback cap into a cap your hair can come through, so locs, puffs, braids, buns and ponytails stay uncrushed. Nothing is cut, and the cap goes back to normal anytime.
Graduating soon? Our patented graduation cap headband, Cappa® Band, lifts the mortarboard off your forehead so it sits back at a flattering angle and frames your face in every photo, whatever your hairstyle.
