What is kinky straight hair and how to take care it?

What is kinky straight hair?

Are you maybe wondering, what is kinky straight hair?  What texture is kinky straight? What length is kinky straight hair? The kinky blowout is a natural-looking hair texture created to mimic the natural African American hair in a blow-out state.

Textured kinky straight weaves have successfully made it to the top of the list of the most sought-after hair types in the market today.  Black women may love a silky straight mane sometimes, but we always end up wanting to try different other styles and textures from time to time especially when it blends well with their natural mane. They even tend to battle whether to sport sassy sleek straight hair or opt for a more blatant body and texture.

With textured hair, there is really no need to pick one over the other because it has both the straight and the kinky texture. Kinky hair is considered a go-to style among women who love coarse texture over the conventional silky straight virgin hair.

How to take care of kinky straight hair?

 PLEASE NOTE: In general, textured like Kinky Textured hair will require a little more care than any other hair. It will require more maintenance than our less textured hair like curly, wavy, or silky straight hair.

The very textured and coarser texture creates friction which may result in tangling, this will ultimately lead to breakage if the detangling process and routine are not established. Applying a deep conditioner should help in the detangling process!

•Always Cowash Your Hair!

To know how to take care of kinky straight weave extensions, you must use the correct products.  Although this hair is straight, it is heavily textured and hence can’t be treated as straight hair! Use all the precautions you usually use on hair such as Kinky Curly to care for this hair. You can mix a combination of moisturizing conditioner a few drops of argon oil and warm water to perform the co-wash.

Tip: You can also mix this in a spray bottle with a more generous argon oil, then spray this only at the bottom part of the weft, especially towards the nape! This really helps in combating the tangling which is common at the nape due to friction created when heavily textured hair is sewn too close to each other.

•Space your Tracks, especially at the nape:

We cannot emphasize enough the importance of this. Wefted hair is a bunch of hair piled up together. It is important to space it out to allow somewhat natural movement. As stated above, the absence of this creates more tendency for tangling!

•Conditioner: Make sure to use a moisturizing conditioner.

The OGX Ever-Straightening + Brazillian Keratin Therapy Conditioner is good. Some ONYC Hair Customers say this does WONDERS on all textured hair, especially for detangling and co-wash. Keeping your hair moisturized is a very important tip on how to maintain kinky straight hair extensions. 

You can also buy it at your local beauty supply store!

•Avoid Heat at All Costs:

Use heat-free options most of the time to style your hair! Although you can wear a flat ironed kinky straight hairstyle. Using too much heat may damage the cuticle which will result in more tangling and matting.

If you want to try a sleek look, switch up your looks in between for instance, opt for a sleek relaxed look with a matching closure which will offer you the look and is also a great protective style option!
