3 Curly Hair Myths That Will Make You Laugh Out Loud

Hey ladies – when it comes to natural hair, the list of misconceptions that surround it could very well be a mile long. And from all the myths we’ve heard, we couldn’t help but pick out the funniest ones for you to laugh at.

Myth 1. Dirty Curls Are Healthy Curls

Excuse us, what? Ladies, there is a HUGE difference between washing your hair twice a week and washing your hair once every three months.  While frequent washes can cause your curls to dry out, hydrated locks courtesy African Pride Moisture Miracle Honey & Coconut Oil Shampoo are easily achievable and what you’d much rather have! We have tried this product when we were down in the dumps about our dry, frizzy curls and trust us when we say, it was love at first wash. The beautiful blend of honey and coconut oil goes a long way in ensuring that your tresses stay nourished, moisturized and soft to the touch. Our curls not only look healthy, but also smell glorious since first trying it out.

Myth 2. Isn’t Curly Hair Just Extremely Tangled Hair?

No, our dear naive straight-haired sisters, our curls aren’t due to neglect. We’re born with it and are tremendously proud of it. We do agree that by nature, they do tend to get knotted pretty quickly In comparison, but if you know the correct way of going about it, the process of detangling is an absolute piece of cake. Simply run your fingers through your curls after you apply conditioner. The slip of the conditioner, coupled with the flow of the water is enough to rid your curls of all knots. What we use is African Pride Moisture Miracle Honey, Chocolate & Coconut Oil Conditioner. What we love about it is its blend of honey, chocolate and coconut oil that work in tandem to moisturize your curls while giving it the slip it needs to take care of all your knotty problems.

Myth 3. Curly Haired Women Are Cursed Because Their Hair Can Never Be Straightened

Girl, have you never heard of a relaxer?! Relaxing or straightening your hair to the point of semi-permanence has been in style for decades and trust us when we say that we wear our hair with pride either way, every time. Both times, looking healthy as ever! Showering your locks with a little extra love when relaxed will benefit your hair in the long run. Your hair is more prone to drying out when it is relaxed and should, therefore, be deep conditioned periodically. Protectiv Mega Growth Anti-Breakage Strengthening Deep Conditioner is the perfect product to use when taking care of relaxed hair.  This product is a pro-growth complex which fortifies natural hair with a deep penetrating blend of natural minerals, oils and proteins. The result – long, healthy hair. A must use product for anyone with relaxed hair out there.

While we agree that taking care of our curls is no walk in the park, it is definitely not as difficult as these myths make them out to be. Armed with the right products and tips, you are sure to disprove ‘em all in no time.
