Does rain damage your natural hair?
Rain may not necessarily damage your hair but getting rained on can affect your hair in the following ways:
-It causes shrinkage
-It tangles your hair
-Causes unwanted frizz
-Causes product runoff
Avoid getting rained on.
However, if it happens, make sure to dry your hair as soon as you can. This is because the lingering moisture can weaken the roots and allow bacteria to breed in the moist environment.

Type 4 hair care tips
-Type 4 hair needs to be deeply conditioned once a week to soften, strengthen, and moisturise the hair.
-After washing, always apply a lightweight leave-in conditioner to ensure that your curls remain soft, hydrated, and voluminous from day to day.
-Protective styling with natural hair extensions will give your hair a much-needed break from daily styling and tension on the hair.
-While straightening your hair, make sure you use heat protectants and don’t go over the same section of hair more than once. Seal your hair with protective oil or serum.

How can you prevent Hygral Fatigue?
Your hair should always have the right balance of moisture and proteins for it to maintain the ideal porosity, as well as healthy and strong strands.
1. Pre-Poo Prep:
Before you get your hair wet, apply a conditioning oil, such as coconut oil, to dry strands. This can help prevent hygral fatigue by locking in moisture.
2. Wear a swim cap:
Wearing a swim cap when swimming can minimize the amount of chlorine that comes into contact with your follicles that might cause hygral fatigue.
3. Shampoo gently:
You should gently massage shampoo into your scalp and let it flow the length of your hair as you rinse.
