If you want to moisturise daily then sealing the tips before you go to bed is your best bet if your hair is not in any 'protective style'. Then deep condition every week , very important

some people also have spray bottle of honey in water or a light oil or conditioner that they spray unto their hair during the day

LOL, thought I was the only one who relaxed every month.
But I'll stop though, it hasn't been so good to my hair.
When I was younger I didn't relax that often, little wonder my hair was very long.
I guess the stupid cold weather really affected me.  

Exactly what I dread, I like my hair smooth.

MrCrackles:

Who can hook me up with "take a bow" or "pick and drop"

vanitty:

There are a lot of stuffs you can do, when i first started boy did i do it all.afro, straw set, twist out, braid out, two strand twist e.t.c and they are all cute but demands patient and care, besides if your hair is long enough to do braids then you probably should be able to weave, if nor of this helps and you have enough cash to spend you can invest in a good wig/lace
All the information on how and what to do, on google

whiteroses:


one more question, how did you get the courage to go out with afro puffs twists and the rest, i always respect girls that do, you have to be really confident in yourself before you do, i live in all white and stuck up carribean society and have to fit in, and i just can't imagine myself in a twists and what will i say at work, i bet my boss will hate it, but deep down i really want to do my hair in a twist and stuff

vanitty:

I just did i suppose  besides after the cut, i wasn't in a school setting so i suppose that made it easier, no teasing e.t.c besides if done right this style can be very stylish and about prejudices you just rise above it.

@whiteroses thanks where can i get d mane n tail,i used dr miracles a few times n it was horrible, i actually have very coarse hair ,the thinning is caused by blood thinners i have to use due to complications from using birth control,so im stuck 4 now.Does d mane n tail have other products or is it just shampoo n conditioner.tanks again.

whiteroses:

http://www.rootsandsculpture.co.uk/products.asp?cat=22 you can buy it here or in a local shop or at storecreek.com
mane and tail has shampoo, conditioner and revitalizing cream, which ever one you choose is ok but i  think the shampoo is the least effective and the deep moisturizing conditioner is the most effective cos i wrap it and leave it in even to sleep. crazy i know lol

ladies need to go on black hair media, my ear is full. no wonder our african american counterparts are glowing! how to improve things from boob, skin, ass, hair to relationships i've learnt a lot lol.

ThiefOfHearts:

No offence whiteroses but

Dr Miracle is garbage. All of those products are crap and I wouldnt recommend them to my enemy.


Best Relaxers
-Affirm
-Mizani / Mizani Butter Blends, if you want your hair not to be too straight, MBB is really good
-ORS (Organic Root Stimulator) lye.

For #1, Ubia, if you can get your hands on Castor Oil please do. It's GREAT for thickening hair esp black castor oil. also try to deep condition at least once a week.

#2relaxer vs texturizer, it depends on how you want your hair to look like. If you want it REALLY straight, then texturizer isnt for you, if you want your half to look more full and not so much relaxed then texturizing is fine. You can use any relaxer for both, just that both require different times to leave them in.

Always try to use lye for any relaxer

#3. Some leave ins have protein, some dont. If it has protein, you shouldnt use it everything Im not sure of your location so I cant suggest some until I do. Leave-ins should be used after you wash your hair and before rollersetting or blowing drying/flat ironing. You can use moritizers everyday like ORS Carrot Oil, etc

whiterose i got the aphogee protein treatment,wow although its a little messy that stuff works wonders,i noticed less breakage immeditely.
TOH im in d twin cities,never heard of black castor oil r they available in pharmacies.I have always used no lye relaxers wats d difference.give me d names of some good leave in conditioners,i need them daily becos my hair is un manageble.thanks.
