To enjoy all the benefits that come with owning virgin hair, you should also take the right steps to maintain it properly.

Here are some hair care tips you can apply to keep your virgin hair healthy and lush.

and other care practices, so does your virgin hair.

3. Moisturize your strands

This will keep your hair from drying out and getting frizzy.

4. Comb with the right tools

Only comb your hair using a wide-tooth comb or a paddle brush.

6. Avoid heat damage

Always use heat protectant spray when applying heat to the virgin hair.

Please remember, you should care for your virgin hair the same way you care for your natural hair.

7. Cover your hair at bedtime

Use a silk/satin bonnet, or a silk/satin scarf.

he friction could cause your hair to frizz or break off.
