Care : they need hydration and average nutrition . They are washed with a moisturizing shampoo every 3 days, followed by a moisturizing conditioner and a rinse-free treatment. Once a month, Afro-curled hair should receive an oil bath followed by a shampoo and a repair cure with a mask to rinse. Care is taken not to over-nourish the hair which is likely to become dull and heavy.
