African Hair Braiding

Archive for August, 2010

We African-American ladies have a tough time with our hair: it just never seems to sit right or go into the style that we want it to. Part of the problems is our genes: given that we have a higher amount of cuticle in our hair this means that attempts to style it can be very difficult to say the very least.

African American women who are quite keen to practise African hair weaving will simply take a look at the cost of the various hair products that are recommended for their use, and say “not for me , thanks.” Who can blame them?

Ladies, if you are serious about African hair weaving then you need to make sure that you invest in the right “tools”. Specifically, a good quality shampoo is a necessity as not only will it provide you with tremendous results but it will also ensure that your hair is more soft, pliable and manageable. Given that a good quality shampoo will not only moisturise but nourish your hair this means that you are getting a double benefit which in turn means that you can enjoy a significant reduction in your long term expenses for your hair as well.

Hair acidifiers may sound extremely scary (acid! Eek!) but the truth of the matter is that they are ideal for ensuring that your hair is given additional gloss as well as ensuring that your hair is detangled when you need it most. Don’t be put off by the name, these can be an invaluable means of ensuring that you hair gets the tender loving care it so richly needs.

Ladies, if you are genuine about African hair weaving then you need to ensure that you have your hair in good shape before attempting this. After all, would you expect an artist to use a dirty canvas?
