Achieving Great Hair Shine For Black Girls

By Nancy Gardner


If you are a black woman who wants to make her hair look the best, there are several tips you can use. Firstly, to achieve hair shine for black girls, avoid using grease on your scalp. Moisture is good, so stay away from petroleum products that can cause stiffness, dryness or greasiness. Instead, try using natural oils such as coconut, castor, jojoba or olive oil. You can also try natural shampoos and conditioners since these do not contain sulfates or sodium.

Firstly, cut down on the amount of times you shampoo each week. You do not need to shampoo every day. If your hair is dry, you can co-wash it, which means that you wash it with a conditioner instead of shampoo. Many shampoos are made with drying products, so you need to watch out for this. When you do wash it, it is a good idea to dilute the shampoo so that it is half water and half shampoo. Use a mud rinse to get rid of product build up instead of soap.

Comb it carefully and do not be rough. It is a good idea to use a wide tooth comb instead of thin combs or bristle brushes that can cause snapping and breaking. You do not even need to comb it every day, just use your fingers to detangle it. When you do detangle it, make sure it is slightly damp to avoid breaking. Stay as low maintenance as possible.

Try to avoid using heat as this could cause a lot of damage. If you want to use certain heat styling products, it is recommended that you only use these twice a month at most. Ensure that you are also using a heat protecting shampoo and moisturizer. Alternatively, you can use a serum or spray before you flat iron or curl it.

If you are afraid that you will not get proper growth, do not worry. The main reason why strands appear not to grow is due to the fact that they break off at the ends. This is usually caused by over-manipulation or excessive damage from brushing or handling. If you take care of it and keep it moisturized and clean, it will grow just fine.

Do not be rough with it. It may tangle easily, and you may feel tempted to pull and yank on it to get the tangles out. Avoid doing this. It tends to only cause more damage. Instead, clear it out gently with a wide tooth comb. Use a wooden brush with soft natural bristles instead of a plastic one with plastic bristles, as this tends to cause less breakage.

If you are using heat styling tools, remember to use heat protection, such as grape seed oil, which is light and can endure high temperatures without burning your strands. This will help to control any heat damage if you accidentally use the heat styling tool for too long.

When you style it, try going with low maintenance styles such as braids and twists. This will keep it out of your way so that you will not feel tempted to play with it. It will also avoid you having to detangle it too often. You should also avoid using heating tools such as curlers and flat irons since they may cause heat damage.
