Natural Hair Care for Kinky Hair

...”Their structure means they are insufficiently lubricated by sebum, making them very dry and difficult to detangle.
Unfortunately, to wash them, you first need to detangle them! But there's no need to suffer! The ideal is to apply a detangling gel or spray a lanolin-based product, which will help remove knots. Gently pass a wide-tooth comb, centimeter by centimeter, from the ends to the roots, not the other way around, making four to six sections.
Once the knots are removed, shampoo with an extra-gentle, sulfate-free conditioning shampoo. Any other shampoo, even those for dry hair, could remove the already dangerously scarce sebum.
Rinse thoroughly, then from the scalp to the ends, strand by strand, apply shea butter, jojoba oil, or carapate oil. These products grease and soften kinky hair.

Leave on for at least an hour or overnight if you can.
