TAKING CARE OF BLACK HAIR
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This post is dedicated to all of my black beauties, who may be struggling in haircare. No way am I an expert, but these are tips that worked for me.
DAILY
Spray water on your hair + drink a lot of water to keep it hydrated. It helps with detangling and promotes softer hair.
Use a daily hair moisturizer. This can be hair food, oil, or a leave-in conditioner, but something that can moisturise your hair every day.
Sleep on a silk bonnet or a silk pillow to prevent tangles and knots in your hair.
Apply styling products in layers. Too many products can cause grease or ‘crunchy’ hair.
WASH DAY
Wash your hair once a week. You want to avoid product buildup, as that is drying your hair. If possible, apply thick oils or gels every other day instead of every day (most spray or thinner oils/gels are fine for daily use).
Detangle before you wash your hair. I like to completely wet my hair before detangling, so it’s much easier and avoids breakage. Or, you can buy a detangling spray that aids you. Try to use your fingers instead of a comb, as it is much gentler.
When shampooing, avoid foaming shampoos as they can dry out your hair. Look for shampoos that don’t have any harsh chemicals as well.
Deep condition your hair instead of just rinsing it. You can buy one or you can make your own. What I do is, I separate my hair into sections and then put conditioner onto each one. Then I put on a shower cap and let it stay for 15-30 minutes. Extensive deep conditioning can weaken your hair.
Use an old shirt or a microfiber towel to squeeze excess moisture and water from your hair. Using a towel can cause frizziness and breakage + avoid drying your hair using a blow dryer.
PROTECTIVE HAIRSTYLES
Try not to leave in protective hairstyles for too long. A month is the best time frame, but 3 months is the absolute maximum!
When taking out protective hairstyles, let your hair breathe. A minimum of two weeks of natural hair is ideal. This allows you to take care of your strands as well.
During protective hairstyles, remember to shampoo weekly to avoid dandruff buildup + use moistures!
If needed after a hairstyle, trim your hair. Some ends cannot be saved.

lucas decided to experiment on mike’s hair.(because yes) mike agrees because he thinks it’ll be funny. so, lucas gets real excited and runs to get the stuff. meanwhile, mike sitting in front of the couch chuckling at his boyfriend’s cuteness.
when lucas gets back, he sits down behind mike and pulls him a little close in between his legs(cuz this man has some leg)(also, no freaky stuff) so, he can balance mike and get a better view of his whole head. once, mike and him are comfortable in their positions, lucas starts parting mike’s hair into two sections.
mike’s wondering what lucas’ doing to his hair and lucas is hella concentrated. he then starts to make two more parts in mike’s hair and moves on to get the twisters. he puts the third and last part into a twister to focus on the first and second ones. lucas put those into buns and gives mike some edges. mike feels some sort of grease on his forehead but doesn’t question it thinking ‘he knows what he’s doing, right?’ lucas starts to put mike’s hair in bows and after he’s finished, he looks mighty proud of himself.
“i’m done, mikey.” :) lucas says proudly “finally, my ass was starting to hurt.” mike says grumpily and starts to get up when lucas pulls him right back in his lap to whisper in his ear “ te ves tan mono, cariño.”(you look so cute, baby)(also i headcanon lucas is afro-latino :) ) mike started to blush, not really understanding what his boyfriend just said but was slightly aroused by it.
“ok, now you can get up and look at your pretty hair.” lucas smiled while mike still blushing from his previous words. he got up and went to the bathroom to look at his ‘pretty hair’. mike smiled and chuckled at his hair, he had to admit it is cute. he went back in the living room to lucas. “thank you for doing my hair.” mike said as he put himself in lucas’ lap “glad you like it, cariño.” lucas replied as he wrapped his arms around mikey :).
