As you know your afro hair type will depend on your ethnic background and therefore, the many different ways you can care for it.

It could range from being a very dark colour with a strong spiral curl to something much lighter with wavy and even loose curls- especially if you also have European or Asian origins.

How often your hair should be washed will depend on your hair type, and the level of oil it contains, plus the types of creams or oils used in styling. The most important point to remember with afro hair is to keep the moisture locked in, especially as the hair can be quite porous if dry or chemically treated.

A simple routine when caring for your 'fro is to shampoo and condition using products specially formulated for your hair type. Then you can partially towel dry hair, comb through and let it dry naturally.

Finish off by single plaiting or cornrowing your hair. For a fuller 'fro, blow drying will give you BIG hair.

There are many moisturising and conditioning treatments available to protect your hair and prevent it from becoming dry and brittle. When styling permed hair use curl activators or wave activators. These are rich moisture creams containing light oils which you can spray on your scalp and work through your hair before combing and styling.

If you straighten your hair try styling lotions which help provide a layer of moisture to protect your hair against heat damage and breaking.

Using the right combs and brushes when styling is vital for your hair's health. An afro comb/wide tooth comb is all you need to rid yourself of tangles.

Styles:

Style 1

Smooth your hair back with some leave-in conditioner and secure your hair in a ponytail using a covered band. Twist the ponytail into place fanning out the ends of the hair and secure in place using a large hair clip.

Style 2

Your hair needs as much protection from the sun as your skin. So to avoid it becoming a sun-baked frizz, wear a bandana to save your scalp from the sun rays.

Style 3

Brush some UV sun screen protection spray through your hair. Part your hair in the centre and secure into two ponytails, one behind each ear. Plait each ponytail, securing with a cute hair band or clip.

Curly Coils Style:

This style is great if you've got thick wavy or curly hair that needs taming.

Style::

Style hair as normal, adding a little serum to stop frizz.

If it's still a bit frizzy, tong individual curls to add definition.

Twist::

Start at the front taking a triangular section and twist the hair loosely to form a coil.

Secure::

Grip into place then repeat all over the head making coils and pinning them in as you go along.

Spritz::

Finish with a fixing spray and you're ready to go.

Tip:

Accessorize your look by adding pretty pins or grips to dress up your hair.
