I have very wavy, mixed texture hair. As an adult, I still don't know how to care for my hair entirely. (I am a little over a quarter Native, and white.) Anything that helps keep the moisture in my hair helps. Anything that staves off split ends also helps a lot. (I haven't had a trim since Covid started. My hair is almost hip length.) I would recommend this as it keeps my itty bitty baby hairs from driving me crazy at night, and is a nice way of keeping my hair out of the way throughout the day. If nothing else, better than a beanie.
