Personal style brand, Natures Gentle Touch has urged Nigerian
women to care for their natural hair at the recently held Naturals in the City,
10, a meet-up of ‘’naturalistas’’ in
Lagos.
At the event, Mr. Daniel Komlan, Field Education Manager,
Recare Limited, manufacturers of Natures Gentle Touch range of hair care
products said that the number one hair problem faced by Nigerian women is hair
breakage. He stated that in a research conducted by the brand at its hair
institute, it was discovered that most Nigerian women don’t care for their
natural hair, which causes different hair problems. Some of the problems highlighted were hair
breakage, itchy and flaky scalp, dry hair, dandruff, and receding hairline.

Speaking on how to care for natural hair, Komlan said, ‘’The
Nigerian woman’s hair, virgin or relaxed has the natural tendency for dryness
due to the Nigerian weather. As a result, the hair needs daily moisture to keep
it healthy. Also, the regular wearing of hair extensions weakens the hair and
makes it vulnerable to breakage.’’ He noted that the danger of doing real harm
to the hair becomes greater the longer the hair extension is worn.
Women are encouraged to treat their natural hair frequently
to strengthen it with proteins, re-hydrate with moisture, and seal the hair
against moisture loss. They are also advised to use products that reflect these
needs. Gentle shampoo and conditioner containing moisture-rich ingredients are
recommended in conditioning the hair once every week, with or without
shampooing.
For excessive dry hair a monthly treatment to lock-in
moisture is advised while a weak and damaged hair should be given protein
treatment to restore health to the hair.
