Here’s A Weekly Natural Hair Care Routine You Can Start Today!
Let me tell you a secret – I have a weekly natural hair care routine that might trump yours!
It’s pretty evident that 2020 came with a surge to become better. From becoming better individuals, to deciding to live our best life. If growing your natural hair made it to your goals for 2020, then you’re in luck. I have put together a weekly natural hair care routine that will help promote growth with little hassle.
Great right?
To help you follow it daily, I have broken down this process into days. This not only makes it realistic but easier to follow. We all know it might not be the easiest thing to devote 3 hours a day to our hair, but this will definitely help.
So, let’s start on Saturday!
Saturday
- Wash Hair:
I love reserving this step for Saturdays because then you finally have a break from work and more free time. For this, you’ll need to Pre-Poo – moisturize your hair with a hair butter or oil before washing. This is not a compulsory step, it’s just something I like to do. Follow this with a shampoo, a conditioner and a deep condition (with or without a heating cap). - Twist /Braid Hair:
Now, this is totally dependent on what kind of style you’re going for. If you have plans to wear a wig during the week, weaving your hair into sections shouldn’t take time. However, if you’re leaving your hair out, then you will want to take your time and make sure the hair is neat. Here’s a look you’ll like.
Sunday
Rock your pretty hairstyle -with a wig or not.
Monday
- Spray:
Wet your twists/braids with water or a water-based leave-in conditioner to keep your hair moisturized. - Oil your Scalp:
This will help you to avoid a dry and itchy scalp. - Redo Hairstyle:
This step can be optional depending on the hairstyle you’ve been rocking. If you decided on twists, you might not need to touch it up too much. But hairstyles like buns will need to be touched up significantly or redone.
Tuesday
Do the same thing as Monday, although you may skip oiling your scalp.
Wednesday
Switch up the hairstyle a bit if you’re feeling a bit bored and you have the time to spare. If not, keep rocking your hairstyle, touching up when and where necessary.
Thursday
Repeat the same steps as Monday.
Friday
Loosen those beautiful twists/braids, or whatever style you may have done. Do a little scalp massage with some heated oil and put your hair into braids in preparation for Saturday’s wash day.
And repeat! This routine will leave your hair smiling at you and happy hair leads to growing hair.
