Natural hair is beautiful, but it can also be high-maintenance. If you want to have beautiful, healthy and thriving natural hair, there are a few key habits you need to adopt. In this post, we’ll discuss four of the most important habits for growing healthy natural hair:
- Using the right products
- Moisturizing regularly
- Condition after every wash
- Sleep with a satin bonnet
Use the Right Products for Your Hair
The first step to healthy natural hair is using the right products. This means using products that are sulfate-free, silicone-free, and alcohol-free. Sulfates are harsh detergents that can strip your hair of its natural oils. Silicones can build up on your hair and make it dry and brittle. Alcohol can also dry out your hair.
When choosing products for your natural hair, look for products that are labelled as “natural” or “organic”. These products will be made with natural ingredients that are gentle on your hair and scalp but effective for safely cleansing, moisturizing, and growing natural hair.
Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize!
Moisture is essential for healthy natural hair. Without enough moisture, your hair will become dry, brittle, and prone to breakage.
Moisturize your hair regularly with a leave-in conditioner or lotion. Seal in the moisture with natural oils, such as coconut oil or olive oil. Doing this regularly will strengthen your hair strands and give it more elasticity. Moisture and hydrated hair is also softer and less prone to shedding and breakage which leads to better length retention, shine and overall hair health.
Condition After Every Wash
Conditioning is just as important as shampooing for healthy natural hair. Conditioner helps to restore moisture to your hair and make it more manageable. It ensures that nutrients are restored to your cuticle to improve elasticity, soften, add shine and improve your hair texture. The more you shampoo the longer your hair stays free from split ends, knots and tangles. It increases your hair’s tolerance of natural elements such as sun rays and styling procedures such as heat styling.
Always condition your hair after you shampoo it. Be sure to use a conditioner that is designed for your hair type such as the Mara Cruiz 2 in 1 Rinse-out Conditioner for Afro-textured hair.

Sleep With a Satin Bonnet
When you sleep, your hair is exposed to friction from your pillowcase. This friction can cause loss of moisture, frizz, split ends and breakage.
To protect your hair at night, sleep with a satin bonnet or scarf. Satin is a smooth fabric that will not cause friction to your hair. It also will not absorb moisture from your hair which leads to dryness. Satin protects your hair from shedding while encouraging longer moisture retention for healthy hair growth. The fabric doesn’t snag on natural hair which would prevent tangles and knots leading to weak and damaged hair. Sleep with a satin bonnet especially when wearing your natural curls for protection while you sleep.
