Mineral Oil and Petroleum, Bad for Black Hair
Growing up you may have been told to oil your hair in order for it to be healthy. It is true that black hair tends to be on the dry side so it needs moisture. However, there are some products that you shouldn’t be using if you don’t want to damage your hair.
Mineral oil and petroleum is probably some of worst forms of hair dressings that you could ever apply to your tresses.
Most think hey, well its oil; but these actually add little or no moisture at all. In reality mineral oils clog pores and leave a nasty buildup on the hair and scalp which is not good when it comes to hair growth. This is why it’s so important to read a product’s list of ingredients. If you notice that wax, mineral oil or petrolatum is an ingredient it is best to put the product back on the rack and make another choice.
So what exactly does your hair need most to stay moisturized? Well, when you are thirsty do you reach for a glass of oil or a glass of water? Hopefully, you said the latter because water is moisture, oils are not. Therefore, you need to use products that utilize humectants.
Humectants are ingredients that attract and bind water to themselves and can even accomplish this right out of the air from the natural humidity. Look for products that contain such ingredients as glycerin or glycerol, urea, NaPCA, chitosan, propylene glycol, hydrolyzed silk, Acetamide MEA, sorbitol, panthenol and shea butter.
The best thing you can reach for is pure organic oil. It is the healthiest thing you can do for your scalp, hair roots and tips. I personally use Obsessed Hair Oil and I love it because it leaves your hair shiny and hydrated. It is great for your scalp too.

How to Trim Your Bangs
Beauty Tip-Save yourself some muhla and trim your bangs yourself.
After you wash and blow dry your hair, flat iron your hair till smooth. Gather bangs and twist hair several times, but not too tightly otherwise you may trim tresses too short. Next, depending on how long you want your bangs, trim hair either above or below your fingers holding the twist. Remember it is best to start longer, because you can always re-twist and re-cut in order to make bangs shorter.

Side braid
I Love Her Hair
This is a great natural hairstyle that can contribute to hair protection as well as hair growth. The ends of the hair which are susceptible to damage are well protected within the braid. Moreover, this side braid hairstyle includes a front cornrow that can help keep unruly edges along the hairline under control.
How To Do It:
1. Part hair on the side.
2. Cornrow hair to the left of the part.
3. Once the left side braid is cornrowed down to the nape pull all hair to the right side.
4. Part remaining hair into two sections.
5. Holding the two sections (one in each hand), take strands from the left section and cross it over to the right section of hair.
6. Next, take strands from the right section and cross it over to the left section of the hair.
7. Continue repeating steps 5 and 6, crisscrossing sections of hair until the fishtail side braid is at your desired length.
