A lot of people find it difficult to maintain natural locks because it has not been processed or smoothed. Your hair, also referred to as strands, mane, or locks are often frizzy at the ends and curly. There are right and wrong products you can use for African natural hair care. These six tips will help you master natural hair care.

Clean strands are a step in the right direction for natural or organic care for your locks. It's a lot more work to care for your strands when it is not processed. Perms and relaxers contain chemicals that cleanse your strands. Although there is more work to care for organic locks, the strands are often stronger than those that have been introduced to chemicals.

A lot of people forget to add some type of moisturizer to their strands. Without moisturizer, your locks can become hard, frizzy, dry, and brittle. These are the perfect conditions for damaged locks. A dry scalp can be painful and cause flaking. Moisturizer prevents your strands from having a dull appearance and brittle texture while promoting a healthy scalp.

There are a lot of different products made for locks that are pure. Sometimes these products are more expensive than those made for chemically treated locks. Products for unprocessed locks make your strands easier to manage. Without these products, your locks can be torn or ripped out when you comb or brush them. Your strands need to be as healthy and strong as possible.

A flat iron is another tool you should buy to help you manage your locks. Strands that are not chemically processed can be difficult to manage. A flat iron can straighten your hair, making it easier to manage. Make sure you buy a flat iron that is ideal for your hair type. Curly and thick locks require a flat iron that can hold high temperatures.

A curling iron can be your best friend. If your strands are very curly, you may have to use a flat iron, as well as a curling iron to get the hairstyle you desire. A curling iron can press your strands, but will not get them as straight as a flat iron will. The good thing about curling irons is you can curl your strands without too much of a hassle.

After you wash your strands, you can use a blow dryer to get them dry, rather than using a towel. Towel drying a lot of curly strands can take a lifetime to complete. Before you use a blow dryer, use a little conditioner to make the strands softer and easier for the dryer to go through. Make sure you don't over dry your strands. You could cause permanent damage.

Your strands have to be protected and properly cared for. You can use a variety of different products to keep your strands healthy and strong. The trial and error process may take a while in order to figure out which products work best for your locks. The type of strands you have and texture play a major role in the products you select, and how well it works.
