Many women with natural hair are wondering how to stay beautiful and cool during this extended heat wave. With temperatures over 90 degrees for six successive days, it can become quite challenging.
Well, if you are like the growing numbers of women who opt for natural hair, one of the easiest and most versatile style is goddess braids. You can rock your natural locks with braids of all colors, without the worry of actually coloring and damaging your hair. And, what's more, you have the styling freedom of going with or without bangs; small braids-medium braids all the way to jumbo goddess braids. The sky is the limit
Here are a few hair care tips though to keep in mind while you stay beautiful and cool.
Natural Hair Care Tip #1: start with squeaky clean hair
For starters, wash your hair with a sulfate-free shampoo; then condition. Usually, such shampoos can double for conditioners. While the hair is still wet, apply conditioner to hair. If it is badly damaged, cover with a plastic cap for deeper conditioning. Allow the conditioner to remain in hair. Dry and prepare to braid.
Apply a small amount of shea butter to your hands and massage generously into the hair. This is great for maintaining moisture in your hair. (Depending on hair condition, you might want to clip your edges). This is great for eliminating split ends and for promoting growth. You should have selected your hair. It is now time to begin braiding.
Hair Braiding
If you are proficient at braiding, you have the styling option of doing whatever you wish. If not, you can proceed to the African Hair braiding salon of your choice for the professional braid.
I like the simple goddess braid with the part down the middle of the head with one large braid on either side of the head. I then usually pick a pack of water weave hair in bulk to augment the volume of my bangs. What I get is a style similar to the one in the next photo. I've gotten many compliments; and, it is an easy "do it yourself" style. Finally, I gather the two long hanging braids and fashion them into a bun. Ta-da. you have a style that should last at least 7-10 days.
Benefits of this style are that it is easy to remove. Very little breakage occurs when removing the braids. Once you've removed your hair, you are ready to wash and perform the entire process again. Just be gentle and add shampoo or conditioner for those difficult spots. Don't pull or tear as this cab cause breakage.
In a few weeks, you should notice nice growth with very soft and well moisturized hair.
