Black Hair Care: Dry Hair With a Paper Towel

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015February 16, 2015Leave a Comment

They don’t call it the quilted paper picker upper for nothing! Investing in a roll of Bounty or other brand of paper towels could be the simplest as well as cheapest fix to preventing your hair from looking like a finger was inserted into a socket. It has become widely known the average towel can be not only too rough on strands but can cause added frizz.

Now if you are a natural hair wearing lady preventing curls or waves from losing shape or puffing into some unknown entity is probably of utmost concern. To combat this issue many women choose to use a tee shirt because of the softer fibers in order to help remove excess water from their hair. Another option would be simply to use a paper towel.

Paper towels will cause less friction and absorb more water than a towel made out of cloth. Moreover, since more water is absorbed then hair drying and styling can be sped up. To decrease puffiness, gently wring your tresses with a paper towel after washing and conditioning. Even though this tip was mentioned with naturalistas in mind, it would work for anyone drying their hair.

How to Comb Wet Natural Hair

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015February 12, 2015Leave a Comment

Combing your hair correctly can save you a lot of pain and from breaking or snapping strands of your hair unnecessarily. First things first, you are the realest (sorry couldn’t help it LOL); secondly, keep in mind that combing wet strands has to be done systematically. Meaning you will need to comb hair in sections and in a manner that will lean more towards being gentle. As you work through sections start at the ends and work your way through to the roots.

What type of comb you use is also very important in the untangling process. Make sure that you use a comb that has wide teeth that are softly rounded. Such a comb will allow hair to pass through easier preventing more knots from being formed. Help your comb by also using your fingers to untangle tougher strands of hair that have become entwined. Lastly, using a detangler product or applying a leave-in conditioner will also help the comb slide with greater ease through your tresses.
