1. Washing:

Use a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to maintain its natural oils and moisture. Avoid washing too frequently—once every 1-2 weeks should suffice.

2. Conditioning:

Raw hair thrives on moisture, so deep condition regularly to keep it soft and hydrated. Focus on the ends, which tend to dry out faster.

3. Heat Styling:

While raw hair can be styled with heat, always use a heat protectant to prevent damage. Avoid excessive heat to maintain the hair’s natural texture and minimize the risk of breakage.

4. Detangling:

Use a wide-tooth comb or fingers to gently detangle the hair, especially when it’s wet. Avoid tugging or pulling, which can cause breakage.

5. Drying:

Air dry raw hair whenever possible to reduce the risk of heat damage. If using a blow dryer, ensure it’s on a low heat setting.

6. Moisturizing:

Raw hair can become dry, especially if exposed to the elements. Use a lightweight, hydrating leave-in conditioner or oil to keep it smooth and manageable.

7. Protection:

Always protect raw hair at night by wearing a satin or silk scarf or bonnet to prevent tangling and frizz.
