Afro Hair FAQs
Afro hair, or type 4 hair in hair classification terms, is characterized by its tight coils and spongy texture. Its structure makes afro hair springy and full of volume. Afro hair is prone to dryness and breakage, as natural oils from the scalp can struggle to travel down the curly hair shaft.
Moisturise afro hair regularly, and handle it gently when brushing and styling to prevent dryness and breakage. Use sulfate-free hair products, and detangle your hair carefully with a wide-tooth comb when it's damp.
One myth is that afro hair is naturally strong and resilient due to its dense, coarse texture. The truth is that afro hair is more prone to damage and breakage because of its spiral structure, which has more points of weakness than straight hair; so be sure to properly care for your afro hair.
Another common myth is that afro hair doesn't grow as fast as other hair types. In reality afro hair grows at the same rate, but due to its spiral structure and how prone it is to breakage, it may seem to grow slower.
Lastly, many people believe afro hair should not be washed often, to prevent it from drying out. In fact, you should aim to wash your afro hair weekly with a moisturising, sulphate-free shampoo to prevent product build up and dryness.
Popular afro hair styles include traditional options like afros, cornrows, and dreadlocks, to modern twists like Bantu knots, box braids, and twist outs.
Other popular styles include the slick back afro, high-top fade, and the short part with fade, each showcasing the unique texture and versatility of afro hair.
Afro hair tends to be delicate, so handle it with care to avoid damage. Moisturise and deep condition your hair regularly to maintain its health and prevent dryness. Don't overuse heat or chemical treatments, as they can weaken your hair and lead to breakage. When you go to bed, keep your hair in a satin bonnet or use a satin pillowcase to reduce friction and retain moisture.
Keep your scalp healthy and protect your hair from breakage. Consider getting regular scalp massages to stimulate blood flow, strengthen your hair follicles and promote growth. Protein treatments can also help strengthen your hair and prevent breakage. Lastly, maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals to keep your hair healthy and strong.
