Here's How To Get Even Better Natural Hair In Five Days
Dry hair? No problem.
Perhaps the biggest struggle of being natural is keeping your kinks and curls moisturized.
The reason is because unlike straight hair, nutrients can't travel a straight path from root to ends with curly and coily hair. Instead, they have to go through somewhat of a maze of loops and spirals, sometimes stopping before making it to the end.
But there is hope, my coily-headed friends. The BuzzFeed 5-Day Natural Hair Challenge is here to get your curls POP. PIN!
To help every naturalista get healthier, more moisturized hair, BuzzFeed consulted with several natural hair-care professionals for their best tips and tricks.
Incorporating these simple practices into your natural hair-care routine will make for more moisturized and easier to manage curls and coils. Each step should only take you one to three minutes — with the exception of shampooing and protective styling, which could take one to two hours depending on the thickness of your hair. The best part of the BuzzFeed 5-Day Natural Hair Challenge is that it literally works for anyone with natural hair, no matter the texture!
Here's everything you'll need for the challenge:
1. Sulfate-free shampoo
2. Leave-in conditioner
3. A satin hair scarf
4. A moisture-rich styling product
5. Curl refresher
6. A penetrating natural oil
7. Applicator bottle
