AsSalaamu Walaikum :) a common question i see floating around is how to care for natural hair while wearing hijab, I’ve been trying to make this post for a while and Alhamdulilah i finally got around to it. I hope this can help y'all out a little bit and if you have any more questions feel free to hit me up! Disclaimer: these are things that have worked for me and other sisters i know, This may not work for all of you guys.i don’t have all the answers but i will try to come back to this post and edit inshaAllah :) Transitioning Naturals NO over working your hair, your is fragile at this time and if you overly manage it will lead to breakage. i Transitioned back in 2011 so i don’t remember but so here are some tips and here Full Naturals TWAs Use a Silk underscarf to protect your ends and edges Use oils Moisturizing (btw i don't really believe in “wash and go’s” for hijabis because i think just leaving your hair can cause damage if you just leave it, and your hair is breathing less than it usually does under your hijab. if you’re going to do it try and reduce it to every once and a while.) the L.O.C Method here Max hydration method (recommended for low porosity hair) here Finding out the porosity of your hair here Product suggestions based on your Hair Porosity here Leave- in Conditioners here Sulfate Free Shampoos here Conditioners here Homemade conditioners here here Deep Conditioners here Hair Masks (homemade and ones you can buy) here here here Hair Clays here (i would look into bentonite clay ) Protein Treatments (homemade and ones you can buy) here here Oils/butters i’d Recommend Coconut Oil Castor oil jojoba oil Shea butter Olive oil Vitamin E oil (also melting shea butter and mixing it with some of these oils) Styles id Recommend for wearing under your hijab Two Strand twists Flat twists Box braids Cornrows (if you can find a way to hide the bumps) Bantu Knots (if you take them out ) Buns (braid or flat twist down your edges so it doesn’t pull on them) i know some sisters to just comb their hair back and put a cap on it, i wouldn’t do that all the time but make sure your hair is moisturized when doing so and don’t make it a habit. Remember to always wear a silk scarf under your hijab/undercap and if you can sleep on a silk pillow case.
