Hot Tips For Those Who Want Black Hair

Black hair is all the rage these days. Everyone wants to have a sexy, curly, smoky, kinky or messy look. It's quite simple to find quality products that work for your hair texture. There are hair care products for every type of hair, and the various hair types are often confused with the color of the hair.

For black hair, naturally occurring pigments called melanin to protect it from damage, allowing it to retain its natural beauty. This results in a beautiful, thick, lustrous texture that looks quite natural.

Certain types of hair tend to look rougher and denser than others. Black hair, being lighter in tone than other kinds of hair, tends to have a higher moisture content, which is why it needs extra protection.

Hair with a darker hue tends to be naturally dry, and the roots get further stressed by the continuous pulling. The tips are less likely to be damaged than those of light-colored hair. With black hair, these factors tend to take a toll on the health of the hair, making it less likely to be healthy and strong.

The "silky" look can be easily lost when you are always using hair straighteners or blow drying your hair every day. Black hair often ends up frizzy and unmanageable. Darker hair colorings may also fade in time, so a more natural look is essential for an appealing hair style.


Look for natural hair care products that contain vitamins and nutrients to nourish your hair. Your hair can get dehydrated when the pH balance in your scalp is altered by a shampoo, conditioner or even heat treatments. Opt for products that contain extra moisturizers and rich ingredients like shea butter and avocado oil.

Heat damage is also something to consider when caring for your hair. Black hair tends to be very sensitive to heat and so it is important to choose products that are free of sodium laureth sulphate or SLES. This chemical irritates your scalp and can lead to breakage and split ends.

Choosing the right shampoo for your hair is also important. Some shampoo-type hair care products for black hair contain fragrances that can strip away vital oils from your hair. To avoid this, choose shampoos that do not contain fragrance and are actually designed for black hair.

You want to get your hair thoroughly rinsed when washing your hair, to avoid creating any build-up. Using the recommended amount of shampoo will also allow you to achieve the shine that you want, without taking too much out. A cleanser that contains medicated ingredients is also an excellent choice for oily hair.

You want to use conditioners and gels that are meant for oily hair, as these can help it stay soft and manageable. Deep conditioner with aloe vera will give you a luxurious lather. Make sure that you only use this once a week, as this can lead to problems if left on your hair for too long. Check out my lates post on Which Hair Colour is Right For You here.

For black hair, coloring is just as important as maintenance. This can help your hair look its best and can even help it look lighter.

Remember to start your coloring routine at least one month before your wedding date, so that your hair is already colored and in a good condition. In addition, you may want to try a few colorings prior to your wedding day to make sure that you are going with the exact shade that you want.
