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!
