Yea Dr MadMan is garbage

which ORS do you use? lye or no lye

No lye. Is there a difference between the two?

Never really understood the lye/no lye thingy.

first of all i want to thank all u lovely ladies for posting on this website.
second im soooo depresed because i literally have been writing down half of what i have seen on this post to try on my own head
third i wonder if my life would have been simpler as a man instead of a woman.

@MR crackles

even when its freshly relaxed? or just when new growth starts coming in?

@iranlodun

check the thread Au natural - lots of stuff there on switching to natural hair and transitioning.

abt mane and tail. dont know where you can get it in Nigeria but u can send sum1 who's travelling to get it in london.

for natural hair care its important to know what kind of curl pattern you have, seeing that u say urs is soft you maybe 3c/4a. Browse the internet for natural hair care sites and forums, better still try you-tube videos. What i did is view as many as i could to find the person whose hair texture and pattern reminded me of mine. After that i checked what products they used and looked for them myself.

For instance, i recently bought herbal essence conditioner recommended by a fellow 4c natural.
@TOH
read abt castor oil but the one i got is the regular one. it is a bit thick though. i'll see how it works.

but i really wish i could get cantu shea butter in Naija -last resort is sum1 who's travelling.

no its fine n smooth when relaxed,thou still a little dry,so i still need leave in conditioners daily so recommend some good ones and wats the difference btn lye and no lye relaxers.Any recommendation 4 hot oil treatment?

If your hair is fine, then I suggest Chi Infusuion Keratin Mist Spray as a leave in



for cream leave in you can use Rusk Smoothers

For mild moisturizer during the week, you can use a little of the ORS Carrot Oil.

Lye is better than No lye. period

I just bought the carrot oil, don't like the smell though. lol

live lag/ibadan (in both places during the week)

u are rite,it smells horrible but it does soften the hair so i guess its manageable.TOH tanks dear,already have d chi mist so will continue wit dat.

TOH i tried odering the castor oil its out of stock.

lol yea the smell of the carrot oil isnt great but its moisturizing and it helps with breakage.

ubiaa, just goggle "Jamaican Black Castor Oil", im sure other places sell it

after you wash your hair, what do you usually do with it?

tanks will do. After washing i usually flat iron n let it flow[i have long hair] or i put it in a ponytail.About 4 or5 mths in a yr i try to have my hair in braids or cornrows just to shield it from the elements[cold]

you never rollerset?

ThiefOfHearts:

you never rollerset?

i used to when i was in Nig, but here it just looks odd.Maybe i shd i miss curls.

what can one use for treating itching scalp and how can i make my hair stop breaking and grow fast.please tell me if u know.this is my id upix_cap2@yahoo.com.

ubia, I always rollerset then I wrap it. Better than constantly flatironing/blowdrying. all that is too much direct heat for the scalp
