Afro Hair FAQs

What are some common Afro hair myths?

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.

What is hair styling for Afro hair?

Hair styling for Afro hair covers the specialist techniques and knowledge required to care for and style natural, coily, and tightly textured hair. Services include wash and styles, twist-outs, braid-outs, blowouts, protective styles, and specialised cuts suited to Afro hair textures.

Why is it important to see a stylist who specialises in Afro hair?

Afro and natural hair has unique structural properties that require different techniques, products, and care approaches compared to straight or wavy hair. A specialist stylist understands shrinkage, moisture retention, detangling methods, and how to achieve styles that work with the hair's natural texture.

How to prevent damage to 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.

What are some popular styles for Afro hair?

Popular afro hair styles include traditional options like afros, cornrows, and dreadlocks, to modern twists like Bantu knots, box braids, and twist outs.
