datalossvictim1: I will advise you against using baking soda as a shampoo, it is great as a clarifying wash but for a long term use. It is a no-no. Google has several reviews on its long term use, mostly negative . http://blog.kanelstrand.com/2014/01/baking-soda-destroyed-my-hair.html The link would help to clarify the problems with using baking soda as a shampoo |

Well, I have always been natural, I was on low cut while in secondary school. After high school I decided to grow my hair longer but it became a problem when I moved to study in the UK. Despite several friendly advices to get it relaxed so that I would be able to manage (I hate that word) it, I declined because I have never never liked the texture of relaxed hair or the look. However I did straighten it with a straightening iron for a while but the effect lasted for a couple of days before it reverted back to its natural state. I also had braids for a while but I could not maintain because I hated having to shower with a big load on my head, it made my hair dry, it was hard to wash and also strenuous to undo without uprooting all your hair. This was the period I decided to read more about black natural hair, and I came across several websites like curlynikki, rehairduction, blackgirllonghair and other YouTube videos. It was definitely an eye-opener for me and it found it surprising that the average black hair can also grow as long as other races. it took me two years to finally make my decision. The reasons were because I found it too expensive, Most natural hair products are mainly found in the US, the exorbitant prices plus the postage fee was daunting . and it took me along while to understand what black hair really needed. I was going through another blog of a natural enthusiast who lives in the UK and I came across a list of all natural hair products in the UK, Most of them were very expensive but I finally made my choices. I had the option of choosing between Tresemme naturals or Rainforest from Bodyshop, they were the cheapest from the list. The latter was more expensive however more natural than Tresemme. I read the reviews of both products and realised that Rainforest would be a better option. So I got two 60ml bottles, £2.00 each. It was so small that I knew I had to incorporate the old saying that 'a little goes a long way'. ;. 3 Likes

HOW TO WALK LIKE A LADY The way you move, stand, sit, use your hands or place your feet silently communicates to the world. A woman should express her beauty not only with her physical features, but in the way she moves with poise and grace. A beautiful walk is the sign of a graceful poised woman. Follow these steps. 1.} Lift your thigh slightly. Don't lead with your shoulders. 2.} For a feminine walk, the space between your steps should be about the length of your foot. Too long a stride is masculine, too short is mincing. 3.} On each step your heel should touch the floor first, then quickly shift the weight forward to the entire foot as you take the next step. Keep your feet close to the ground when you lift them. visit www.ladieswinds.com to learn more. |

Sixix: Thanks for refreshing my memory. I wash my hair once in nearly 2 months because I don't use any products on it and I hardly get dandruff. When I have braids in its once every 3 months. I understand BS being an alkali so I sometimes do an ACV rinse but not often because I hardly wash my hair. Your link focuses on caucasian hair though lol. |

Madrededios: I am a transitioner on a budget,so pls can i get cheap but good hair products in nigeria?Also how can i transition with braids and weaves? Wig is a better option, less stress on the hair, easy to maintain the hair underneath but if you must use weaves or braids, deep condition and moisturise heavily before you use them. And make sure your hair stylist do not put too much stress on them |

2CatWoman: I don't think I have ever had split ends I think that works too, cos before I started the above regimen I did not use leave in conditioners, sulphate or fsilicones free hair product but I followed the LOC rule and I noticed improvement with my hair texture. The problem I have is dry roots but moisturised ends . According to a couple of hair websites , it could be as a result of different hair types |

Sixix: HOT oil Treatment..... how HOT is the oil biko? |
Re: Beauty Of Natural Hair Thread :) by Sixix: 3:56pm On Aug 27, 2014 |
Triczchic: 1.Choose an oil or a combination of oils of your choice. Try using a mixture of olive oil, coconut oil, castor oil, and almond oil. You can use all of the oils or pick one or two to use for your hot oil treatment. All of the oils above will moisturize your hair and hydrate the scalp. Coconut oil hardens when it is cool. 2. Keep your hair warm or at least at room temperature while coconut oil is in your hair. Make about a cup of your own hot oil mix. You need enough of the oil to cover your hair, from root to tip, so it may be necessary to use less than a cup or make a little more depending on the length and thickness of your hair. 3. Heat the oils in a small saucepan until the mixture is warm to the touch. The oil is going on your hair and scalp, so make sure that it is lukewarm. Although microwaving is faster, it is not recommended because the oil may get too hot. Microwaving may also negatively impact some of the nutrients in the oils. Again, if the oil is over heated, let it sit for a few minutes to cool. 4. Apply the oil to the hair. It is best to use a small squeeze bottle, the kind that is used to color hair. Massage the product throughout your hair, making sure that all of your hair is covered with the oil. The hair does not have to be overly greasy, just slightly oily. Do not rub the hair too harshly, as this can cause tangles and breakage. 5. Once the hair is covered, put on a shower cap. If you have a bonnet-style hair dryer at home, you can sit under the dryer. If you don't have that type of dryer, you can wrap a towel around your head to keep the heat in. 6. Let the oil penetrate through your hair for about 15 minutes. For a relaxing hot oil treatment, take a warm bath while the oil penetrates in hair. Next, rinse the oil. Dry your hair and style it as normal. http://blackgirllonghair.com/2013/01/how-to-do-a-simple-at-home-hot-oil-treatment/ 2 Likes |

^it's not advisable to heat the oil on a sauce pan directly it reduces the strength of the oils, one of the reasons why cold pressed oil are better. It's better to boil water, pour the oils in a container I.e cup and insert into the boiled water till it becomes warm/hot. |

aflyingbird: sisix, luv ur hair! it's heat-trained, yea? is it easier 2 retain length with straightened natural hair? ... less knots n tangles, less breakage? maybe i shud do dat to mine. hard 2 retain my length It makes no difference, the results are the same. The most important thing is a good hair regimen. You can't retain length on relaxed or natural hair if you lack a good hair regimen. That is not my hair, I got it from a website, http://www.rehairducation.com/ This is her hair regimen I relax my hair every 20 weeks. After relaxing my hair, I wear it out for about 8 weeks. During those weeks I follow the hair regimen below. And her Relaxer schedule I relax my hair every 4 to 5 months, twice or three times a year max. |

I've been doing this thing, where I pour some coconut or olive oil on my hair the night before wash day (you kinda have to sleep with a shower cap on, so as not to stain your pillows). My curls are looking more defined and my hair feels softer, but I'm shedding or breaking like mad. It could be the Dudu Osun, I've heard it breaks hair. This is my 3rd time using it, so will maybe give it a rest. |
