Nighttime is the right time for hair care
Protecting your hair when you sleep is one of the best practices you can have, which means if you're not going to wrap your hair with a silk scarf or bonnet at night, the next best option is one of Sturdivant-Drew's favorites: a silk pillowcase. "Silk pillowcases are amazing! My hair is natural, but I don't sleep with a scarf; I like my hair to be free. But I thought my hair was getting dry, so I tried one of those silk pillowcases, and I really like it! It's an old remedy that I never really believed in until I tried it myself." The Slip Silk Pillowcase, $85, is a beauty lover's favorite.
Have patience
Finally, it's the thing no one wants to hear, but time takes time. Both experts advise having some patience when it comes to natural hair growth, but they also advise learning to love your hair right now where it is today. "I wish people could get off the internet to learn their own hair texture. Don't look at the girl in the video so much. Just learn to love yourself and what you're working with right now," says Waajid.
