The biggest problem with natural afro hair is that it never grows evenly & that’s because the hair always coils itself down. Also the nature of the hair is dry, my advice is that always brush the hair while you still have conditioner on, using a wide tooth comb or brush, never use a close tooth comb as that will promote breakage. Lastly try not to sleep on cotton pillows instead try silk or polyester pillows, these materials will provide less friction.
