Keep your kinky coils moisturized with the right nourishing creams and oils for your hair texture.
Natural kinky hair requires more upkeep and care than other hair textures because of its versatile yet fragile and delicate nature. Most natural hair care products consist of pomades, conditioners, shampoos and creams made from organic butters and essential oils to keep hair soft, manageable and moisturized. When choosing a product for your kinky or curly locks, consider the characteristics of your hair, including your curl pattern and the dryness of your scalp in order to select a product that meets your hair's needs.
Conditioners and Shampoos
Kinky hair is full of coils and is wiry, making it more dry and prone to breakage. Using natural creamy, sulfate-free shampoos and protein-based conditioners will retain moisture and maintain the elasticity of kinky hair. Applying a homemade conditioner--such as an egg and avocado hair mask--to damp hair for 15 minutes before shampooing can also help lock in moisture.
Butter-Based Pomades and Creams
Kinky hair thrives on rich butters and creams. Pomades and creams made from shea butter, for example, easily absorb into the hair shaft and naturally nourish hair. Kokum and illipe butters also help to reduce dryness of the scalp and hair without weighing down the hair or leaving a greasy residue. Kokum and illipe are naturally light and can help renew worn hair cuticles and prevent hair from thinning.
Oil Serums
Oils are best applied to kinky hair when wet to trap in moisture. Not only will oils nourish the scalp and hair shaft, but they also add luster and shine to the hair. Use natural oils such as jojoba oil, olive oil, sunflower oil, ylang ylang and grapefruit oil to eliminate dry scalp. Avoid oils that coat and sit on the scalp and hair rather than penetrate and moisturize it. Mineral oil and petrolatum, for example, can clog pores and attract dust to the hair.
