Care for your afro hair.

- Porosity
- Hair condition
Your afro hair is individual
Two people with afro hair can need completely different care routines.
Hair thickness. Fine and strong hair fibres react differently to product amounts and styling.
Hair density. With very dense hair, working in sections helps to spread products more evenly.
Porosity. It gives you an idea of how your hair fibre deals with water and care.
Hair condition. Natural, coloured, chemically treated or frequently heat styled hair can have different care needs.
Every Afrolocke product can be part of your routine. What matters is how you use it for your hair.

How to use Afrolocke on afro hair
- Schritt 01
Cleanse
Apply shampoo to hair and scalp, massage in gently and rinse thoroughly. With dense hair it helps to work in sections.
- Schritt 02
Condition and detangle
Apply conditioner to the wet lengths and let it work for a few minutes. Then detangle carefully with your fingers or a wide tooth comb.
- Schritt 03
Apply leave-in
Work the leave-in into damp hair and make sure to spread it evenly through the lengths and ends.
- Schritt 04
Style towards your goal
Work styling gel into damp hair if you want more definition and hold. How you shape your curls depends on your styling.
- Schritt 05
Care for lengths and ends
Use hair oil specifically on lengths and ends. The amount depends on hair thickness, density, length and care needs.

How porous is your hair?
Your porosity helps you judge the amount and the order of your products.
Low porosity
Your hair absorbs products rather slowly and is weighed down quickly.
Unsere EmpfehlungWork on very wet hair and start with small amounts.
Medium porosity
Moisture is absorbed and held well.
Unsere EmpfehlungSpread products evenly in sections and adjust the amount to how your hair feels.
High porosity
Your hair absorbs moisture quickly, but also loses it faster.
Unsere EmpfehlungLayer moisture and complete the routine with hair oil on lengths and ends.

Do you know your porosity?
Your hair structure is not the only thing that decides your care. Just as important is how your hair absorbs and holds products and moisture.
Low porosity
Water takes longer to get into the hair. Products can build up on the surface more quickly.
Deine StrategieMore water. Less product. Light layering.
Medium porosity
Your hair takes up water and care in a fairly balanced way.
Deine StrategieBalanced care, dosed by how your hair feels.
High porosity
Water is absorbed quickly, but often lost again just as quickly.
Deine StrategieLayer moisture. Take good care of the lengths. Add hair oil when needed.
Still unsure?
Watch your hair after washing:
- How quickly does it get wet?
- How quickly does it dry?
- Do products tend to sit on the hair or are they absorbed quickly?
How your hair feels and how it reacts to products helps you adjust your routine individually.
