My hair is natural, and after so many years, I have realised that the more natural the product, the better it is for me. Vegamour is an amazing brand I was lucky enough to come in contact with some weeks ago. I have been busy using Vegamour HYDR-8 Essentials Kit on my hair, and the experience has been so magical.

How to care for your hair while you sleep

We sleep for an average of 8 hours a day and our hair can get caught up as we sleep. If your hair is natural (afro) like mine, you may need to pay a bit more attention to how you care for your hair as you sleep. Here are a few ways to protect your hair while sleeping:

Invest in a silk pillowcase

Investing in a silk pillowcase is one of the most simple ways to take care of your natural hair while sleeping. Silk is a gentle fabric that protects your hair from excessive damage and pulling while you toss and turn as you sleep. Silk pillowcases are also super comfy and they aid in a good night’s sleep, which is another good reason to invest in them. I have quite a few and I can’t imagine not sleeping on a silk pillowcase now.

Use a silk scarf and bonnet

Still on how amazing silk fabric is when it comes to hair care, invest in a couple of silk scarves and bonnets, and your hairline will thank you for it. Wrapping your hair in a silk scarf will keep it moisturised and protected as you sleep. Using a silk scarf, bonnet, and pillowcase at nighttime will do wonders for your hair.

Moisturise your hair before bedtime

It is important you moisturise your hair before you sleep. I usually moisturise my hair with Black Seed Oil and water mixture in a spray bottle just before I wrap it up in my silk scarf and bonnet. This keeps my hair soft and moisturised overnight.

Avoid tight protective styles

Tight protective styles damage hair, especially the hairline. It is best to ensure you avoid hairstyles that put excessive pressure on the hairline, especially when you sleep. Loose styles are best if you prefer not to sleep with your hair down. I prefer putting my hair in loose plaits and leaving them down but wrapped for bedtime.

April 27, 2021 By in Beauty Tags: , , , , 2 Comments

There are so many articles on how best to grow your natural hair. I have read loads of them and tried various tips recommended but I learnt many of my secret tips for growing my natural hair from experience. Like they say, experience is the best teacher sometimes and that was the case when it came to caring for my hair. Many articles I read on haircare shared advice that didn’t really work on my hair type, which is why I had to learn trying different techniques and products to find out what works and what doesn’t.

3 Secret tips for growing my natural hair

Here are some of my secret tips for growing my natural hair –

Moisturising with 90% water/10% oil

Back in the days, I had about 50% water and 50% oil in my spray bottle. Sometimes the oil was even more than the water. Nowadays I use way more water than oil. I have dry hair and it needs lot of water to keep it moisturised. I use my spray water at least twice a day and that keeps my hair moisturised but not too oily. Apart from the fact that dry hair is dull to look at, it is also prone to breakage and dandruff, so ensure you moisturise your hair as often as it is required.

Regular washing and head massage

Since I no longer go to get my hair professionally done, it is a lot easier to wash my hair regularly. I usually wash my hair every 2 weeks, sometimes I wash it weekly if I have used a lot if hair products that week. Regular washing of the hair makes the hair grow and keeps the scalp healthy. Regular washing also allows you give your hair a proper massage. I massage my hair everyday, but washing allows me give my scalp a proper massage. This is great for blood flow circulation which aids hair growth. However, it is important to not wash the African natural hair too frequently as that could cause hair dryness and breakage. Find the right balance for your hair to make it work for you.

Using natural products

I use natural products for my hair. Sulcate-free shampoos are lovely to use as they clean the hair without stripping off all the moisture. Harsh products can leave the hair dry and unhealthy, so ensure you keep an eye on the ingredients in products before you buy. The more natural, the better.
