Have you ever wondered why there are times your hair is moody? Ever woken up with a head of hair that just doesn’t look like your own? Maybe your curls are looking dull, lifeless, and lacking elasticity or the texture feels dry and flaky… Something’s not right, but what’s going on!? Beautiful, you might have a protein-moisture imbalance on your hair.

So how do you know if your hair needs protein or moisture? Keep reading to find out the optimal balance for your curls.

Getting your hair braided is an investment of time and money, so you want 'em to last for as long as possible. For braids done with natural hair that might mean up to a week, while feed-in protective styles can last up to six weeks. 

Cornrows or boxed, long or short, natural hair or extensions—all braids need a touch-up to stay fresh. After a couple of weeks of cornrows, it’s a good idea to redo them to sustain the look. If you’re rocking box braids, look out for frizz as that’s a clear indication that it’s time for a refresher.

Moisture is a key element for healthy hair. 

Use water-based moisturizers: If you are not comfortable applying only water to your hair, you can get a water-based moisturizer. This moisturizer will keep your hair soft and smooth at all times. 

Apply natural hair oil: You need natural hair oil to lock in water or water-based moisturizer to your hair. Some of the natural oil recommended for the hair include coconut oil, castor oil, and avocado oil.
