Natural hair ambassador and fashion blogger, Bronwyn Abrahams describes herself as a fun-loving, shoe fanatic, beach-loving and bulldog- obsessed person.

She shares tips on maintaining curly hair:

1. Everyone’s curl pattern is different

Don’t have curl envy – accept yours and love what you have!

2. Do deep condition at least once a month.

First protein and then moisture masques, because curly hair tends to be drier.

3. A good cut changes everything.

It not only shapes your afro hair but also gives your curls maximum curl effect.

4.
Keep trying out new hairstyles

So as not to get bored and to keep things interesting!

Amanda Cooke is a Cape Town natural hair blogger and suggests the following to keep your curly hair healthy:

1. Always protect your hair at night.

Sleep with a satin or silk scarf around your hair or invest in a few satin pillowcases. Cotton
pillowcases can encourage split ends and breakage.

2. Deep-condition your hair once a week.

This ensures that your hair is well nourished.

3. Seal your ends

They are the oldest part of your hair and need extra protection. You can seal your ends with your favourite oil.

4. Don’t forget to trim

You will be amazed how much curls, kinks or coils will pop once you give your hair a good trim every three to four months.
