As the rainy season sets in, many of us are left wondering how to protect our natural hair from the elements. The good news is that there are several ways to keep your hair looking fresh and healthy, even on the wettest of days.
Published on October 24, 2019, KBC shared some valuable tips on how to keep your natural hair intact during the rainy season. One of the most effective ways to protect your hair is to use a leave-in conditioner. This will give your hair the extra shine and moisture it needs to get through the day without looking messy and unkempt.
Another important tip is to deep condition your hair at least once a week. This will give your hair the nutrients and care it needs to be healthy and strong. You can also use a scarf or shower cap to keep your hair dry when you're out in the rain.
For those who prefer to keep their hair natural and unbraided, there are several styles you can use to keep your hair out of the way. A simple ponytail or bantu knots are great options for keeping your hair dry and looking its best.
Protecting your natural hair from the rain doesn't have to be expensive. In fact, many of the protective hairstyles mentioned in the article can be done at home for a fraction of the cost of a salon visit. Faux locs, for example, can cost anywhere from KSh. 3,000 to KSh. 8,000, while Nyasuba locs can be done for as little as KSh. 2,000.
Box braids and weaves are also popular options for protecting your hair during the rainy season. Depending on the size and length of your hair, these styles can cost anywhere from KSh. 500 to KSh. 2,500.
