February is upon us, so we know what that means! Valentine’s Day is around the corner and the season of love is in full bloom. From flowers, chocolates, and candlelit dinners– it’s undoubtedly the season where we are granted the opportunity to express appreciation for those we cherish. But what about the relationship we have with our own hair? Just like any relationship, the more we show love to our tresses, the more it’s likely to flourish. Here are five ways to show your naturally curly hair some lurrve this February using some of the best afro hair products.

Give your Hair the Gift of Moisture
Afro hair craves moisture, and if you live in the Northern Hemisphere, chances are you’ll be in the midst of winter in February when it’s particularly frosty. The cold weather wreaks havoc on afro-textured hair, so will require consistent moisture. This month, make a commitment to your curls by keeping it hydrated and moisturised. Each day, spray a hair mist like Afrocenchix Natural Hydrating Spray – Sheen, a light but deeply penetrative hydrating spray that delivers instant moisture to dry, and thirsty curls/coils. It’s blended with the natural goodness of aloe vera and grapeseed oil to feed your follicles and strengthen the lengths. Use this spray on its own or as the ‘Liquid’ part of the LOC or LCO methods.

Say ‘I Will’ To Daily Scalp Care.
Do you promise to love, cherish, and commit to your scalp by showing it care and attention every day? If your answer is ‘yes’, your scalp will certainly thank you for it. Freezing temperatures rob the scalp of its natural moisture levels, causing issues like dryness, itchiness, and irritation. Take the time each evening to show your scalp some TLC by massaging it with a nutrient-rich scalp oil. Afro Afrocenchix Lightweight Scalp Oil-Soothe is a product designed to soothe conditions like excessive dryness and flakes, and is blended with lavender and cedarwood essential oils to keep the scalp happy, nourished and healthy.

Lavish Your Curls With a Spa Day!
Pamper your curls/coils to a spa-like experience this month to repair all the damage it has endured during the winter months. Spend an afternoon indulging in a reparative treatment for your hair. After cleansing your curls with Afrocenchix Sulphate-Free Shampoo- Swish, apply our conditioner Afrocenchix Silicone Free Conditioner - Swirl , a rich and concentrated formula infused with avocado oil and coconut extract that work together to increase hydration and soften rough, dry hair. For maximum impact, cover your hair with a plastic cap and wrap it with a microfibre towel like Afrocenchix Microfibre Towel Turban , allowing all the nutrients to deeply penetrate your strands. How is that for spa vibes?

Treat Tresses to a Trim
If you’re struggling to remember when you last had a trim, it’s time to schedule an appointment with your stylist. Trimming afro-textured hair every 8-12 weeks is crucial to preventing split ends and breakage – common issues for curly and coily hair.

Sweet Hair Dreams (Are Made of This)
Show your hair some love at bedtime by prepping it before you hit the sack. Afro-textured hair is prone to knots and tangles when it is left loose and free, so installing a quick protective style like chunky braids and cornrows will prevent this from happening. Next, apply a moisturiser like Afrocenchix Natural Moisturising Cream- Smooth to your ends to keep them hydrated throughout the night. Finally, wrap your hair with a satin or silk bonnet or scarf to keep strands soft and nourished. Our Afrocenchix Print Satin Bonnet with Satin Lining helps to retain moisture, protect against friction, and reduce breakage.
Gifting your hair with care and attention this February is more than a beauty routine – it’s self-care. So, take the time out to pamper your every kink, curl, and coil, and you will be rewarded with not just a healthy mane, but a boost of confidence.
