Sike: What bout Guys that wanna grow long hair? Applicable??

yes it is I grew my honeys hair past his shoulders when we were first married

NappilyNigerian:

My hair is in a protective style at the moment but here are recent pictures of my hair prior to the blowout.

How did you make your hair to coil like that? How long did it take. Can dreadlocks be loosened?

NappilyNigerian:

My current products are

Shampoo : Keracare Cleansing Cream. It contains shikakai,neem seed oil,amla oil and argan oil. It's really gentle and doesn't strip your scalp or hair. I got this from Twentysix85.com

You can substitute with Creme of Nature sulfate free shampoo or Organics root stimulator creamy aloe shampoo..use diluted and on scalp only.

Conditioner: VO5 Strawberry and Cream conditioner or Herbal Essence Long Term Relationship or ORS Replenishing conditioner (love the fragrance)

Leave In Conditioner: Cantu Shea Butter Leave In Conditioning Repair Cream

Oil : Coconut oil, castor oil and palm kernel oil

Seal and styler: NappyGirl Pudding


Hair regimen

I'm currently following the Indian method of haircare to maintain the length of my hair and it's working really well.

Everyday, I apply a light coating of coconut oil to my hair after misting it with water (since I'm natural). If you're relaxed, apply to dry hair.

Then every three days I give my scalp amd edges a light massage with castor oil.

The night before wash day, I'll coat my hair with coconut and palmkernel oil completely saturating it. Then cover with a showercap and a scarf for bed.

On wash day, I'll shampoo with Keracare massaging my scalp then rinse.
Then I'll pour a 1:3 solution of ACV to my hair, wait for 5 mins then apply conditioner and rinse with cold water.

Blot dry with a microfibre towel or T shirt (prevents breakage).

Then I apply coconut oil, then Cantu , then NappyGirl Pudding in that order. If you're relaxed coconut oil to damp hair is fine.

That's it.

Don't do any tight style and always wrap your hair before bed to protect it at night.

If you feel your ends are dry, apply Cantu lightly and seal with coconut oil.

along Adebola house right ?

NappilyNigerian:

As long as you don't stress your hair any further and your roots aren't damaged, your hair will definitely recover.

To go natural, you simply have to stop relaxing your hair.
You need to avoid harsh drying products because they tend to make afro textured hair strong and difficult to manage.

All you need are products that will draw moisture to your hair to keep it soft, supple and growing stronger. I have listed products I use earlier in the thread.
You can also check my blog for recommended products which are good for afrotextured hair (good for relaxed hair too).

hello dear u do have great hair. i have few questions pls.

You mentioned palm kernel oil, do you mean the regular red cooking oil?
also these products ( NappyGirl Pudding, ACV, Keracare, Cantu shea butter, ORS replenishing conditioner) are they readily available in the market?

I love long hair... but there is no way I can keep up such routine. Such hard work??

Fine Sissie, thank u!
I completely forgot I hv an expert by my side.
I will do as u said.

How r u?
Hope u r doing great?

yellowpawpaw: Fine Sissie, thank u!

Missed u in fun room o!

Lol, I am fine, thanks. And how are you doing?

Let me go check the fun room.

Please,could you please tell me how to use the henna leave and is the henna leave the same with the laali leave used as herbs for the yorubas? await your reply.

U are correct

cheris skenzy: Plssss! Can green tea and black tea be used at the same time? 2. Is african black soap better than shampoo,I mean for washing hair.

Yes green tea an black tea can be used together, just mix both in a cup while hot, add a tsp honey, ACV, aloe vera and rosemary oil(optional), allow to cool. Its ready for use

I noticed a lot of people asking me about the price of the products I listed and how available it is in the Nigerian market so I've written them down.

Keracare Cleansing Cream. N3100 (available online or on request)

ORS Creamy Aloe Shampoo N1200 (readily available in the market)

Creme of Nature Sulfate Free shampoo N1600 (available online and I saw it once in CasaBella stores Ikeja shopping mall)

VO5 shampoo N1400 (readily available in the market)

Organics Root Stimulator Replenishing Conditioner N1200 (readily available in the market)

VO5 conditioner N1400 (readily available in the market)

Cantu Shea Leave In Conditioning Cream N2500 (sizzellestores.com)

Coconut oil (readily available in the market. I find it where you can buy Shea butter) N1000 for 750ml...you can substitute with Palm Kernel Oil.

Castor oil N400 (cold pressed available in any pharmacy) or Jamaican Black Castor Oil N2500 (naturalnigerian.com)

NappyGirl Pudding N1500 for 125 ml, N2800 for 250ml (available on request)

Emily Millionaire Coconut and Herbs N300 (readily available in the market).

All products can be purchased on request should you have any difficulty locating them.

Hope this has been helpful.

I've tried some Nigerian ready made products and because of some ingredients in the products I don't use them.
So far, most just make my hair feel really hard. Instead I go for the unrefined natural products available in Nigeria.

You may try out the following Nigerian products.

Dudu Osun Black Soap....good alternative to sulfate free shampoo

Emily Millionaire Coconut and Herbs....good alternative to Cantu Shea Leave in Conditioning Repair Creme

NaturalNigerian Leave In Conditioner

AfricanNaturalistas products (available on their website and on Jumia)

Nature's Gentle Touch Products

I'll really love to use all made in Nigeria haircare products once they become African hair friendly...so far, they really love using Petrolatum in their products...which is really old school...but the products I listed above contain hair friendly ingredients.








Hope this helped.

Getting them online is the easiest and fastest method to get these products if you don't know the exact shops to look for them

Oh and I still can't access mails sent via nairaland so please can you send them directly to nappilynigeriangirl@gmail.com....thanks.
