How to maintain your natural 4c hair with a full schedule

Time is of the essence in this modern world, and I have to admit that my natural 4c hair upkeep is a struggle. I sometimes feel that I don’t have enough time, in any given time, to really dedicate the tender love and care that is needed to keep my 4c hair nourished.

I realized during COVID (as I’m sure many of you have), that staying home has highlighted the importance of convenience. Particularly, the need for convenience with our hair. I’ve found that the following has worked for me: 

  1. Wash, deep condition, detangle and moisturize my hair as often as I see fit for my schedule.

  2. Braid my hair and/or wear a braided wig.

  3. Oil and moisturize often in-between.

The steps above are how I maintain my natural hair with a full schedule. I would like to point out that my strands are delicate so leaving it alone has done it more good than harm. I can confidently say that my hair is in one of the best state it has been in a long time.
