There are a lot many things that a human being believes without having a proof of it, all these unproved or disproved events are famously called myths. Here, I focus on a few famous kinky hair myths that some of us believe and some chose to ignore for good.
The first all time favorite myth is that natural hair is stronger. It is a well-established fact that curly hair is naturally weaker than straight hair and there is always a need to take more care of curly hair. While the straight hair is not prone to break away, the curly, kinky or wire-like hair tends to break with even a little bit of pressure.
The next myth I came across is combing hair while they are wet, makes them brittle. While this may be true for certain other hair types, kinky hair certainly cannot be combed when dry. The best time to comb such hair is with a conditioner handy when they are wet. If a comb can pass through such hair it is this time only and no other!
Hair relaxing helps the hair grow longer. It is not a very convincing argument that curly hair do not grow and straightened hair grow long. Growing of hair depends more on the nutrition given by the body. If a proper hair care regime is followed by a nurturing diet and abundant drinking of water, even curly hair would grow as much as straightened hair. Obviously if the curly hair is straightened they look longer but that does not increase the rate of growth.
You can always use hair relaxers to take good care of your hair if it is of this type. Use a manageable amount of the relaxer but if you cannot manage that on your own then it is advisable to seek the help of a professional hairdresser. In case you persist on doing it on your own you might end up overdoing it which will obviously damage your beautiful hair. There is also shampoo which you can apply regularly as it is a suitable way of maintaining your hair strong and smart all the time.
There are two main patterns that you can choose to style up your hair. There is the S pattern which mainly involves stretching the hair to come up with an attractive pattern. This one is very good in that it maintains the hair soft and healthy all the times in addition to the fact that it is not tedious coming up with it. There is also the Z pattern which will blend easily anytime you decide to go for it. This pattern maintains your hairs dry all the times as well as wiry which will be very instrumental in enhancing your general looks.
Kinky hair is generally the most fragile of all the types since it has very few cuticle layers for protection purposes. You will therefore have to be very careful on the treatments you subject your hair to so as to avoid damaging it because you are not guaranteed of enough natural protection.
