B. You are a blowout babe.

Relaxer-free, you like to wear your hair straight. Your hair care woes? Heat damage and dryness. Kim’s tip: wrap your hair and sleep on a silk pillowcase at night to help preserve the style.

Straightening your hair less often will save it from the heat damage. Must have a hair damage remedy cream and olive oil.

C. You are a braid /loc lady.

Easy and breezy, these styles are your favourites. Your hair care concern? Breakage. Kim’s tip:  be sure not to twist or braid your strands not too tight at the crown. Pulling the hair will cause breakage and drastically weaken tresses over time. To keep your hair strong and hydrated, use a root-to-tip strengthening shampoo and conditioner that containsvitamin E.

D. You are a curl chameleon.

You work curls, twists, blowouts, braids and updos.  Your hair care challenge. Over-styling. Kim’s tip: Go on, change it up, but remember to always make smart choices. Give your hair rest between styles so that it’s not overstressed and over processed. Also use nourishing products that promote healthy strands.
