#3 - Keeping Up! (W/ Straightened Hair)

Now, for types of Hair in the 3C categories and above, unless you are keeping your hair natural, I would not recommend washing your hair every day. Unlike most hair textures, ethnic hair does not need to be washed every day. Your hair needs those natural oils and oil in general. Washing your hair every day can strip it of those oils, leaving your hair dry and unhealthy. I personally recommend washing your hair once every one to two weeks. When going to bed, always wear a satin bonnet or a do-rag. This keeps your hair feeling smooth and straight once you wake up in the morning. You can also use a satin scarf as well. For extra sleek edges, before you go to bed at night, use a small brush, or even a toothbrush, and apply edge control to your edges and put on your bonnet or scarf. Your edges/baby hairs will look better than ever!
