Avoid using harsh chemicals on an African child's hair.
Hair care can vary based upon a person's racial makeup, gender and age. Children in particular are still developing and their scalps cannot handle harsh chemicals and stress. Thus, it is imperative that special attention be paid to a child's tresses.
Instructions
1. Use organic products. Apply products that are more inclined to have originated from nature such as olive oil or jojoba oil. Stay away from products that include lots of harmful chemicals. Visit and organic foods store that sells hair care products.
2. Be gentle when combing or brushing hair. Avoid pulling hair or using a heavy hand because this could have an effect on the hair follicles and the scalp.
3. Wash the hair every seven to ten days. If the hair is washed more often than the recommended time, it tends to dry. Dry brittle hair breaks off.
4. Use conditioner. Keep the child's hair moisturized, soft, and shiny by applying a safe conditioner right after shampooing the hair. Find an organic leave-in conditioner to apply every few days for more manageable hair.
5. Use hair bows that will not pull the child's hair out. Rubber bands are not helpful at all. At the end of the day, take any clips out of their hair to let the scalp breathe overnight.
