SkyDreamer22+FollowWashing Black Hair: How Often Is Too Often? (And How to Get It Just Right!)Ever felt guilty for skipping a wash day, or wondered if you’re overdoing it? I used to think more shampoo meant healthier hair—until my curls turned dry and brittle! 💡 Here’s what I wish I knew sooner: 📌 Less is more: Washing Black hair every 7–14 days keeps it hydrated and strong. Over-washing strips away natural oils, making breakage more likely. ⚠️ After a relaxer? Wait at least a week before your next wash—your hair needs time to recover its moisture. ✅ Protective styles like braids? You can stretch washes to every 2–3 weeks. Your scalp will thank you! Pro tip: Always use sulfate-free shampoo and treat your hair to a nourishing oil soak before washing. Your strands will feel softer and look shinier!

QuaintQuartz+FollowMy Top Secrets for Silky, Strong Black Hair (No More Dryness!)Let’s be real: I used to wake up with hair that felt like a tumbleweed—dry, frizzy, and impossible to style. Turns out, the right care makes all the difference! 💡 First, swap that cotton pillowcase for satin or silk. It’s a game-changer for keeping moisture in and breakage out. 📌 Next, don’t skip daily (or at least weekly) oiling—think coconut or jojoba—especially on your ends. It keeps hair soft and split ends at bay. ⚠️ When washing, less is more! Try co-washing or a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo every 1–2 weeks to avoid stripping natural oils. ✅ And always detangle gently with a wide-tooth comb—no more yanking! Healthy hair is all about consistency and kindness. What’s your biggest hair struggle: dryness or breakage?

Michael Weiss+FollowToxins Found in Synthetic Braids?!Thought switching to braids was the safer move after all the drama with relaxers? Turns out, even the most popular synthetic braiding hair brands are loaded with toxins like lead and VOCs (yep, the stuff in paint). A new study found every single brand tested had something nasty in it. Even just handling or installing the hair can expose you to these chemicals. Wild, right? Makes you wonder what’s really safe for our hair! #BlackHairCare #Braids #ToxicBeauty #Beauty00Share
