00:00Hi, we're the Essence Beauty Team.
00:07I'm Dena Campbell, hair and beauty editor for Essence.com.
00:10My hair is relaxed and I've noticed that I've had a lot of hair breakage.
00:15One of the ways that I've combated that is to use a t-shirt instead of a towel when drying
00:20my hair.
00:21It's less abrasive and I get the same results without all of the breakage.
00:25Hi, I'm Pamela Edwards-Cristiani and I'm the beauty and style director at Essence Magazine.
00:29My hair is natural but I have a lot of highlights and color.
00:32One thing that I do on the regular is that I use dry shampoo.
00:35Believe it or not, it's something that black women can use.
00:38It freshens your hair, it takes the product out, but what you have to do is choose a formula
00:42that's clear or close to your hair color and not too chalky.
00:45It freshens your hair in seconds and you look smooth and ready to go.
00:48Hi, I'm Nakia Spradley, the beauty editor at Essence Magazine.
00:52My hair is relaxed and color treated.
00:54I have highlights in it, so moisture is a big issue for me.
00:57What I do instead of using a regular conditioner when I wash my hair weekly is I use a hair
01:02mask and it's really added back a ton of moisture and I still get the conditioning without the
01:08weight.
01:09Hi, my name is Andrea Jordan and I'm the beauty assistant at Essence Magazine.
01:13I have all natural hair and a lot of people assume I woke up like this, but I didn't.
01:18One thing that's really important is making sure that the shape of your curls fit your face.
01:22I recommend going to get your hair cut and shaped by a curl specialist who can create the best
01:27shape for your face type.
