Why Your Afro Has Been The SAME Length For Years!
You Need To Protect Your Hair
Not all hair is created equal therefore certain measures must be taken to ensure that Afro Hair can not only grow but thrive.
One of these measures is to protect our hair EVERY time we turn in for the night. No EXCEPTIONS!
Okay, maybe that’s a little dramatic but you get the point.
Afro-textured hair is extremely prone to breakage.
Every hair on our head is connected to a sebaceous gland that secretes a substance called sebum - and it is this substance that keeps hair feeling moisturized and elastic.
However, with Afro hair it has a harder time spreading throughout the curls.
Your Hair Is Fighting a Losing Battle
And because of this, our hair is in a constant fight for moisture.
Sleeping on a cotton pillowcase with your natural hair uncovered only makes things worse as the cotton SUCKS the remaining moisture from your hair strands.
This is why your hair may feel dry and weak when you wake up.
Not to mention, any frequent turning or rubbing caused in your sleep creates friction - which can cause the ends of your hair to snap off.
Costing you months of progress!
The Solution
If you want longer, attractive hair - you need to protect your progress.
Invest in a satin bonnet. The material creates a barrier between your hair and cotton. This reduces frizz and keeps your hair moisturized throughout the night.
Now, many men have been conditioned to think that the bonnet is feminine, but that is simply not true.
There are bonnets designed SPECIFICALLY for men. Our simple design and dominant colors create a powerful presence so you can protect your hair - and your pride!

But maybe you’re not convinced?
When I first began my natural hair journey a fellow brother gave me some memorable advice. I believe many of you may benefit from these words.
“You have 2 options.”
“Number one, you can swallow your pride."
"Embrace the bonnet and do what’s necessary for your hair to thrive.”
“Or number two..."
"You can keep your short-ass hair.”
If I were you...I would choose option one!
Would a Durag be fine to wear when you are going to bed.
