All curly hair has dips and lifts, making it uneven. That uneven structure leaves it prone to frizz, breakage and moisture loss.

Afro-textured coily curls are a small curl type. The tight coils are more fragile as they have more dips and lifts, making the hair more prone to breakage.

That breakage results in moisture loss. Adding moisture to your hair will improve the flexibility of the hair structure, prevent breakage and help your hair retain moisture.

Adding moisture to your hair is the priority for natural hair.

Afro-textured coily hair is often, not always, dense. Density makes the hair more prone to moisture loss.

This curly hair type is thirsty, and building a routine of deep conditioning is the answer to achieving healthy, soft, natural hair.

Natural black hair requires regular moisture boosts to maintain flexibility and avoid breakage and moisture loss.

Adding moisture to your hair will give you more clearly defined curls. Plus, the added moisture will leave your hair flexible, frizz-free and easy to style.

In this blog, I’ll share my expert advice on how to add moisture to natural hair.

Moisture is the foundation of healthy hair. Build a good foundation with a hair care routine using a good quality natural hair mask for healthy natural hair.

1. Deep Condition

To maintain the moisture in natural black hair, I recommend deep conditioning with Restore and Shine Hair Masque once a week. My exclusive formula expertly blends pro vitamin b5 with glycerin for a perfectly balanced moisture boost.

Pro-vitamin B5 is one of the few ingredients that can penetrate the cuticle to get moisture to the hair’s core. Glycerin helps prevent moisture loss by smoothing and sealing the cuticle.

2. Take Care when Detangling Natural Hair

Your hair is at its most fragile after washing. Treat it like a delicate fabric. A microfibre towel is a good investment for drying hair without damaging the cuticle.

Wrap your hair in a towel for a few minutes, and then gently squeeze the hair with the towel to soak up any excess water. Your hair should be damp but not dripping wet. You can detangle hair at this stage, being careful not to pull at the roots.

Use products that can help you detangle the hair

Restore and Shine Hair Masque is the best product for detangling coily or afro-textured hair. With emollients such as glycerin, avocado oil and tocopherol (vitamin E), you can feed this deep conditioner into the ends of afro-textured hair to detangle and soften. Your hair will absolutely love those nourishing ingredients.

Take sections of hair and gently hold them at the mid-lengths, avoiding tension at the roots. Use a wide-tooth or afro comb to tease out any tangles at the ends of the hair.
