Q&A: Products for Men, Maintaining an Afro

Question: Hi. I am an African American Male that has questions about what hair products I should be using. I usually have an Afro which is kind of big. I was wondering what shampoo and/or conditioner do you recommend me to use? Also during the day is there any products to keep my Afro a little more shiny instead of too nappy?

Answer: To keep your hair healthy you should be using products that moisturize your hair. Our shampoos and conditioner are specially formulated to keep african american hair moisturized and healthy. We have a new line for men (Lavender-Patchouli) which you can see on our site at nwscents.com, but you can use any of our shampoos and conditioners for moisturizing results. During the day to keep your hair shiny, put a small amount of hair oil to the palm of your hands and apply it to your hair from your scalp to the ends of your hair.

Tips For Washing Natural African American Hair

Many people with natural african american and afro textured hair have had bad experiences when washing their hair, especially if the hair is natural. The washing process, if done incorrectly, leaves the hair dry, tangled, and very difficult to deal with. If done correctly however, the hair will be left clean, soft, and easy to manage.

Q&A: Hair Reverts After Pressing

Q. I live on the east coast of florida with medium to high humidity. Is there any thing special that I can do to keep my hair from reverting back to natural after pressing it? Pressing last less than 48 hours. A. Hi. It is tougher to keep hair straight in high humidity. What I recommend is that you try using a good quality flat iron instead of a pressing comb (if you aren't using one already) because a flat iron will help reduce moisture absorption by helping the cuticles on the shafts of your hair lay down flat. I also recommend that you use moisturizing hair products (like the ones we sell at http://www.nwscents.com ) . If the products that you are using on your hair are drying, they will dry out your hair, causing your hair to want to absorb moisture, which will make it more difficult for you to achieve the results that you want.
