Elle Varner's Amazing Tresses and Dresses

Catch Elle co-host 106 & Park tonight at 6P/5C!

DO: Wash and condition often. - “People sometimes say, 'oh, you shouldn’t wash your natural hair every day,' but with natural hair — especially natural hair that’s taking in a lot of product — it’s OK to keep it washed and clean.” While some natural hair enthusiasts swear by “co-washing” (or washing the hair only with conditioner), Haylock says that using shampoo is essential. “Shampoo takes off all the oil, grease, grit and grime off the hair shaft. Conditioner won’t do that; it actually adds a layer on the hair shaft, and if you’re just using that, you’re actually building on layers on the hair, which makes it heavier and can take out the curl pattern.”  (Photo: John Ricard/BET)

DON’T: Slather on the grease. - "I try to stay away from oil-based and silicone-based products because I find that, unless you’re looking for a heavy, pressed-down look, it really weighs the hair down. I like the hair to have that natural wind-blown, bouncy, touchable feel." (Photo: Terrence Jennings/Picturegroup)

DO: Explore bargain buys. - “I find that the lower price-point products really work on Elle’s hair,” Haylock says. He uses a reasonably priced shampoo and conditioner and holding spray to fluff hair and give it bounce. “There are so many different products out there and everybody’s hair is different. You have to try things out to find what works best for you.”  (Photo: PNP/WENN.com)
