ThiefOfHearts:

Use castor oil to thicken your hair. Apply it 2-3 times a week, make sure you wash your hair often though (once a week cos castpr oil is thick and bother hair growth

as for the front of your hair, do you pull it alot? (ponytails, braids, etc)?

Thnx for the tip, but with braids, can i still apply Castor oil or do i have to wait until the braids are out? And the answer is yes i do braids. I cut my hair in April and used texturizer to do a blow out in July after braiding it for awhile to stretch out.

Wait til the braids are out and your hair is freshly washed, then put the castor oil in your scalp and especially around your edges

Make sure your braids arent so tight

Ok, will try it out, thnx.

hey wanted to know guys
when going natural do the relaxed hairs fall out on their own?
lucky me my hair is almost fuly natural albeit short
but the funny thing is a simple run of my fingers thu my hair comes up with strands of relaxed hair
had to go get me anti hair fall conditioner
it used to be as bad as a handfull of relaxed hair
okay so im asking. . .
is this normal or do i run my hair under a shower of scissors?

@bluespice,
YESSSSS ur relaxed hair will start to fall off because of the tension at the point between both textures (i think). my relaxed hair started to fall off when i was growing my natural hair too. and I eventually cut it all off.

~Sissy~:


i went to target today n got the NTM, prolly goin to use it next week, am thinking about getting NTM Deep Recovery Hair Mask too? have u tried it?

wow i guess NTM is popular among black ppl. I haven't tried it but I have a set of it. shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioning mask (abi recovery mask ni) etc . a friend gave them to me but i haven't tried it yet. can't wait i guess

right now i use herbal essences hello hydration conditioner regularly. I don't have shampoo i use my mom's cheap one lol.

@ Oyinda

yea the NTM is good at least for moi hair. me loved it

omg! i use herbal essences!! break's over
i saw hello hydration but went for break's over

thanks for the heads up tho
so if i want the hair to grow fast without braiding
(i cant braid here illd rather do nothing than let these ladies do it its so awfull, i make better hair 'spity i cant braid my own hair)
what do i do?

hmm break's over sounds like protein treatment.
do u kno what i do with my hello hydration (moisture treatment) conditioner? I take one of my old spray bottles, fill it with water and add the conditioner to it. mix it up and use it as my spray leave in. very niceee. some ppl add oil to it but i haven't tried that yet.

basically natural hair needs a loooottttt of moisture everyday. i use protein treatment only once in a while like once a month for deep conditioning.
but since ur in the transitioning stage u definitely need more protein. but make sure to moisturize very often as well. wet ur hair even if just water everyday and maybe use oil to seal the moisture in.


ha hair is soo complicated lol

bluespice how long do u intend to stay natural, or is it just a passing fad, from my observation on youtube and this nairaland and few other black women oriented blogs, i think u can get a lot of helpers out there ,

imagine those cheeks with dreadlocks, buahaaaa just kidding cus i know u won't go to the level of locks.

oyinda i see that u have already gone natural sef, how u come dey take do am ,

Whats the cost analysis of being natural and being a chemical lab volunteer, oops sorry

no2a i have a huuuuge thing for guys with locks
who knows i just might
but i looooooove my scissors
so maybe i might not

but on my being natural?
hmmm until im tired
but i love the versatility inherent with a natural do
im guessing ill stick to it for a while

oyinda so u say i get hello hydration too?
lol but im with u n the moisturising
without conditioner and daily water application, i cant even run my fingers thru my hair
yeah its very very curly
the initial reason i killed it with dye n relaxers

bluespice hmm i will probably tell u to use up ur break's over first. pls don't rack up too much products.
buying too many products can be addicting so don't start it. so yea i suggest u use up ur break's over first. then get a moisturizing conditioner.

natural hair is probably not as easy as u think too (but very worth it imo)

i won't say it's cheaper. since i didn't spend too much money on my hair even when it was relaxed. lol and never wore weaves or anything like that just extension braids once in a while. nothing against relaxed hair really. it can look cute too to be honest

Gross

If you keep cutting the relaxed parts, why do you still have any left? Perhaps pu need to do a full cut and start over?

when you do, just make sure you wash it often and use natural oils to moisturize ie coconut, jojoba, olive, etc

my hair was quite long
and i just fell in love with my scissors tho i never went for a full hair cut
well, its only the tips now so. . yay me!

oyinda noted
im just getting used to the whole girly ish of lotsa products so not getting tons of products anytime soon

@bluespice
i hate using/having too many products, but it took me a while to figure out what to use when i went natural.  i've got five or six (shampoo, conditioner, curly product and hair butter) that i've been happy with for a long time.  nice to have a few more pennies in the purse.

the tons of products folks use, .
im still calling my self in the transitional stage seeing as im basically letting the hair just grow out on its own. . .but when i see the lists of products different people claim to use and profess works im left bitting my lips. . . i mean how do i figure out which to buy?
is my hair coarse or hard?
lotsa questions i tells ya

@all
Do you guyz know any spray that works to make hair stand up or puffy?
I don't want any stinky spray thatz too greasy. Thanks

stand up in what sense?

dont the regular hair spray gels do just that?

Stand up like it does fall down when you comb it up. To give it the natural look.

Hair spray gel? Is that a new invention?

you can get hairspray, which should give hold, you could probably spray some in your hair if you comb or fix it in sections. something like elnett would hold whatever style you had, but it might flake, so you'd have to figure out the right amount.
