Did you recently get your natural hair straightened? Do you want to maintain it for more than a day? More than a week? Or longer? Well, one of my favorite Youtube naturals, Naturally Michy, demonstrates how she maintained her straight natural hair for five weeks. The video is worth a watch, so get a paper and pen/pencil ready.

Her routine, in a nutshell:

NIGHT:
1. Use Raw Shea Butter Shea Moisture Reconstructive Finishing Elixir - every other day or two days
2. Wrap hair

MORNING:
1. Unwrap hair
2. Comb with a wide-tooth comb
3. No products during the day time

SPARINGLY:
1. Coconut Oil - used only twice during the 5 weeks
2. Glover's Medicated Ointment for Dandruff - used weekly for the first two weeks

AVOIDING HUMIDITY AND FRIZZ:
1. Hair wrapped underneath a scarf during humid days before and after events

DURING WORKOUTS:
1. Ponytails and cloth headband to catch sweat
2. Progressed from no workouts to light workouts to regular workouts in the 5 weeks
