Styling relaxed hair
Relaxed hair is typically not considered difficult to style. As a matter of fact, I have heard more ladies with relaxed hair express that one advantage to being relaxed is the ease of styling. However, you may find it difficult to maintain fresh and interesting styles that keep your hair safe and damage free.
Here a few suggestions and tips to aid in styling relaxed hair, that won’t threaten breakage or damage:
- Keep in mind that relaxed hair is delicate, so protective styling is key when considering how to style your locks. It is okay to wear your hair flowing, but keep it safe and alternate between protective styles weekly.
- Roller sets offer some versatility to otherwise flat hair. Once your curls has fallen some, take some pins and pin it up for a perfect roller set updo.
- If you wear your hair in ponytails or buns often, be sure not to use rubber bands that are sure to cause breakage and damage. A wide barrette is ideal and looks even better! For buns, I suggest using cloth bands that don’t cause pulling.
- Avoid styles that require heat. Remember ladies, heat is the enemy, and should be avoided as much as possible.
- Keep your styles maintained by sleeping in a satin cap or scarf to avoid breakage.
- A good trimming or a fresh cut can add such fullness and pizzazz to flat hair. Keep your ends neat and free of split ends. Your hair will thank you for it.
Whichever style that you choose, be careful not to overload your hair with lots of products, which can lead to limp and lifeless relaxed hair. Have fun with your hair and don’t be afraid to experiment!
