- Moisturize
First things first, keeping your kinky virgin curly hair bundles moisturized is the most important thing. Because kinky hair is the driest and most brittle of all the hair types, creating and trapping moisture in the strands is vital.
Deep condition once a week, and moisturize in between washes. If your hair feels exceptionally dry, use a shea butter or natural oil mask to help give it an added boost.
- Protect and Stretch
Because kinky hair is so tightly bound, stretching the weave hair into styles or braids after moisturizing can help some of those products to absorb into the hair follicle.
Additionally, using protective styles such as cornrows or box braids can help to limit breakage and lock-in product.
- Be Free!
If you use protective styles on your hair, it’s important to remember to take some breaks and let your hair be free! Take a break between each style to help your scalp to breathe and to give you a chance to hydrate and heal your Malaysian hair weave from the tight styling.
- Clean, but Without Shampoo
Strictly speaking, you should only be washing your hair about once every 14 days. Limiting the washes can help avoid breakage, and using quality products such as a clarifying shampoo can help limit it further.
Just because you are washing your hair with shampoo, however, doesn’t mean you aren’t showing or cleaning your hair. Rinsing with water and using cleansing conditioners can help keep your hair fresh between washes, and keep the moisture locked in.
- Avoid the Cones
Silicones that are.
Silicones of any kind can be exceptionally bad for kinky hair, so make sure you are reading labels and avoiding products that could be damaging.
