Very often, kinky hair lacks moisture. Use a moisture enriched shampoo and conditioner. Deep conditioning at least once a week is a must. With so many hair products out there, specially created for kinky hair make sure you choose one that works best for your hair type. Choose products that contain shea butter, castor oil and coconut oil for that moisture surge.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>2. Comb It When Wet<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>This sounds very off. Well, it is not. Combing out rough, dry kinky hair can be quite a nightmare. Comb the knots out when your hair is wet to reduce breakage and the pain that comes with it. Spritz some water on the hair to make it damp and then comb out the tangles. Make sure you are gentle and patient with the process.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>3. Wear Protective Hairstyles<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Protective hairstyles reduce tangling, prevent shedding and also hide your ends from exposure. There are a number of protective hairstyles that you could try out. Right from braids to twists, there are a wide range of products that you can select.

Trim Those Ends<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Kinky and curly hair is prone to damage due to the lack of moisture. Do not wait until your hair shows the damage. Schedule an appointment at the salon every 3 months for a trim to get rid of the damage at the ends.
