Achieving Great Hair Shine For Black Girls

By Nancy Gardner


If you are a black woman who wants to make her hair look the best, there are several tips you can use. Firstly, to achieve hair shine for black girls, avoid using grease on your scalp. Moisture is good, so stay away from petroleum products that can cause stiffness, dryness or greasiness. Instead, try using natural oils such as coconut, castor, jojoba or olive oil. You can also try natural shampoos and conditioners since these do not contain sulfates or sodium.

Firstly, cut down on the amount of times you shampoo each week. You do not need to shampoo every day. If your hair is dry, you can co-wash it, which means that you wash it with a conditioner instead of shampoo. Many shampoos are made with drying products, so you need to watch out for this. When you do wash it, it is a good idea to dilute the shampoo so that it is half water and half shampoo. Use a mud rinse to get rid of product build up instead of soap.

The ends of your strands are very important, since they can become split and frayed. Instead of greasing your scalp, try oiling up the ends to stop any breakage that may occur. Your hair can break simply by rubbing against your shirt.

When you wash it, deep condition it to add moisture from the roots to the tips. Be aware that many conditioners do not remove dirt well, so it is a good idea to use a sulfate-free shampoo. When you wash, focus on the scalp by rubbing it gently with your fingers. Do not scratch the scalp with your nails. Use natural oil once a day for moisture, or twice a week if you use perms or relaxers. Use only a small amount of leave-in moisturizer to seal the strands and keep then from breaking or splitting.

Split ends can also be a problem. Remember to moisturize your ends every day to prevent split ends or damaged strands. You can seal the ends of your strands using castor oil or coconut oil. These products can also make your hair look very shiny and healthy.

Many women of color choose to use relaxers. The goal of a relaxer is to make your texture more manageable. However, you should use this with caution. Some relaxers are very strong, which can damage your strands and cuticles, so you should ask your stylist for a gentle one. Try to stretch out your relaxer sessions to make them at least eight weeks apart. This will help your hair to stay thick and it will lessen the chances of you overlapping a session from a previous relaxing.

If you are using heat styling tools, remember to use heat protection, such as grape seed oil, which is light and can endure high temperatures without burning your strands. This will help to control any heat damage if you accidentally use the heat styling tool for too long.

When you style it, try going with low maintenance styles such as braids and twists. This will keep it out of your way so that you will not feel tempted to play with it. It will also avoid you having to detangle it too often. You should also avoid using heating tools such as curlers and flat irons since they may cause heat damage.
