5 Common Mistakes Women With Natural Hair Make
5. Using too much heat.
As your hair grows out, it will be tempting to try new styles which may require heat. It’s smart to avoid putting heat on your natural hair as much as possible as heat damage can weaken your hair and alter your texture permanently. Opt for styles like twist outs, braid outs, and Bantu knot outs that don’t require heat. Curlformers are also a brilliant tool you can use if you desire a head full of curls without the curling/flat iron. You can also adopt protective styles like a top knot (above) that don’t require heat at all.

Please do an article next time that is either about dreads or includes dreads.
I always feel that because I have locs that sometimes my identity as a ‘natural’ is invalid.
Except for brief forays into relaxing, I’ve been natural all my life. Everyone is different, but the sealant that works for me is castor oil, the kind sold in health food stores.
It makes my medium texture hair SOFT, but I’m still trying to find the exact amount to use that doesnt leave my hair greasy-feeling for days.
Lately, I’ve been experimenting with a castor oil/ Argan oil combination under a moisturizing leave-in conditioner that’s working very well.Leaves my hair curly, not frizzy.
Love all of the comments…but I do agree completely wetting my hair everyday would be a pain for me or anyone with lengthy hair
