Many of the natural haired sisters have hair that includes multiple textures.  A host of us have issues taking care of our hair due to its complexity (or what seems to be complex), however, it is not as difficult as it may seem ladies!

Throughout my hair, I have textures that are coarse and thick in the nape and temple areas, seeming to be an area that may be described as “4b”.  While in the front of my head, the hair is slightly looser and less dense.  However, my coils are defined more in the back than in the front.  Regardless of the difference in textures, feel, and densities, I love all of my tresses just the same!

You may find that one part of your hair holds moisture better than the other section(s).  What I do to remedy this is to add more moisture and attention to areas that require it.  Concentrate a little more on areas that may need it.  I find that I get the best results overall from products that work well on the most coarse parts of my hair.

Quick Tips for Better Management of Hair:

  • Find products that work well on the “problem” areas of your hair and use it throughout
  • Concentrate more product and work it into the area that is more coarse/thick/dense
  • Make sure your hair has the proper balance of moisture and protein
  • Control the porosity of your hair with products that have the proper pH balances
  • When straightening, use lower temperatures on the thinner areas of your hair and slightly higher settings on the more coarse areas
  • Always detangle properly
  • Always treat your strands with care, treating the most “difficult” areas of your hair as gentle as the easiest areas

I hope these tips help someone!  Remember to listen and love your hair – your hair will always love you back!!! Happy Healthy Hair Growing!
