When we need to know how to do something, we turn to YouTube, and looking after your afro is no different.
Here are five YouTube hacks for a healthy looking afro.
1. Drying your afro. Apparently, using an old t-shirt instead of a towel will eliminate frizz and breakage after shampooing and conditioning your hair. Genius!

2. Getting in that workout. It’s more than possible to get a good workout with your natural hair. Take a few minutes to moisturize your scalp and apply conditioner to your hair. The heat from your body during your workout will actually help to lock in moisture for extra-soft curls, keeping your afro nice and healthy. Just be sure to cleanse your scalp post-workout.

3. Removing build-up. The build-up of products can hinder the health of your afro.If you’re wearing braids as a protective style and you discover dirt near the root of each braid, you can spray an apple cider vinegar and water mixture to loosen up the build-up and avoid breakage when taking down the style.

4. Steam it up. Adding steaming to your hair regimen helps ensure your textured strands remain healthy and hydrated. Even better, you don’t have to get a steamer to do so.
