Do you have a black hair care guide to help you know when you're on the right track with your regimen, product selections and styling? Here are some problems and their solutions that a good guide can help you figure out.

1. Problem: Breakage

Is your hair breaking and very weak at the ends? Seeing little hairs on your shoulders and in your sink every time you comb your hair isn't good and it will ruin your hair's health and growth quickly.

Solution: Protective Styling

If you've never tired protective styling it might just be the solution to your breakage problem. These hairstyles (like buns and braids) protect your ends by keeping them out of the air. They stay moist and dryness, split ends and breakage from friction is almost totally eliminated.

2. Problem: Over-processing

Do you have issues with your hair always being over-processed when you go to the salon? If your hair is getting weak and damaged over time because of chemical services, something has to change.

Solution: Stretching Relaxers

The answer to your problem is stretching out your hair relaxers. This means if you usually get your hair done every 6 weeks, wait 10-12 to give your hair time to grow out more. Having more new growth makes it harder for the relaxer to overlap onto your already straightened hair.

3. Problem: Dryness

Does your hair snap crackle and pop when you run a comb or brush through it? One of the biggest issues for black hair is dryness. If you have a relaxer or other chemical application in you hair, dryness becomes an even bigger problem.

Solution: Deep Conditioning

If your hair is dry the only way to restore it is to hydrate with a thick conditioner and heat. Using heat (especially steam) opens up the shaft of your hair letting the conditioner penetrate into the deeper layers.

This seals more moisture into your hair and leaves it feeling softer, smoother and more flexible.

The best hair care results come from having a complete black hair care guide to healthy hair.
