how do i mangage black hair?

Question

i dont mean my hair is black i mean i am black and i have black curly hair that is extremaly thick and afro like
lol any tips on managing it?

Answer 1

Wash once a week. And use a good, thick, moisturising conditioner.
Leave in conditioners and moisturisers are a must and you will have to spend a little more if you want good ones that will keep your hair healthy.
I love my black hair and I hope you are loving yours to, don't let it get to you though, because when it is so thick, like mine, it can stress you out sometimes.

Answer 2

if you don't want chemicals you can try press &curl. however if chemicals are ok with you then get a relaxer! it just depends on the look you want!. if u lean more to the press and curl take into consideration the humidity where u may live. I lived in texas and the humid there along with me sweating made my hair go back curly! therefore I use a no lye relaxer works really great!

Answer 3

girl get a perm go to a salon and tell them to perm it so it can be straight and long. this will stop the afro look.

Answer 4

hey you can pick up one of those black hair magazines they have em at walmart, walgreens, k-mart and things like that. are there hair dressers in your area? ask a friend who they get their hair care from.

Answer 5

Use a calming serum like John Freida anti-friz. It works really well.

Answer 6

I ♥ BLACK, THICK HAIR
my hair isn't like that but you should be happy with what you have! but if you don't like it and you want it straightened, go to a salon and get a "Japanese Relaxation/ Straightner" for your hair...it will "relax" your hair....i tried it and i loved it!!!!

Answer 7

Answer 8
