May God bless you all.

I live in Nigeria near Lagos and I have sisterlocks, which I maintain myself.

I would like to start a natural hair meet-up group so that we can come together and share ideas and techniques.

Anyone interested, please?

^^Yes Very.

I am in the UK but still have problems controlling my frizz.
I cane row it myself but do get it cut now and again.

Looking for ideas that really work  for dry scalp without making my hair too greasy.

Oh I also mirco braid my Mothers hair, I have been told by my Nigerian Sister-in Law that it's called "secrets" . I would like to find out how she can avoid dry scalp, the sprays for braiding do not seem to help her.

honey and water spray works for dry scalp

i found this site that gives DIY ideas for hair maintenance
quite low cost i must say

^^Would that be before you rinse or do you leave in

I will post one this week.

Do you have any photos? Are you in Nigeria right now?

Can you connect me with some naturals here?

It is well with your soul.

cantu shear butter for detangling, braiding damaged hair. am transitioning now and this stuff is miracle and good for my hair

Wow what happened to everyone.
I do feel lost on this land now

Anyways I'm chopping off all my hair. I feel I need to start from the roots.

why are you chopping it all off 

i guess being natural is not something novel for me anymore. it's just like having 10 toes and a pair of lips. something i don't take notice of much to post on NL about it.
but now that you've brought it to my attention.  I'm here. you shall not feel lost anymore.
so why are u cutting ur hair? what happened?

Lol.

Well, Posting could help others you know.

Anyways, I have always felt this way since I transitioned.
plus my hair growth is uneven. I have like 10ins now at the top of my head
and still have like 5in on the left side at the back.

I don't see how its gonna match up if i don't cut it.
and yeah, being natural is so natural now

Love this thread, I see you are talking about natural stuff, I am particularly interested in natural hair. . . .will read thread properly later!

Nice one ladies!

I finished reading through the post and i am impressed. I too am natural. Transitioned from july 08-july09, chopped and now its been over a year since being fully natural and I am loving it. And i do not plan on going back to relaxers, ever!! We should def keep this thread going.

Also for those who are interested in going natural or general hair care, check out longhaircareforum.com, naturally curly, curly nikki (its hair blog), and Youtube. Youtube is the best. you'll find everything from styling hair to product review.

Don't forget BlackGirlLongHair (bglh.com) and the sister site too!

i just put Bglh on my system and it comes out.

http://blackloveposter.tumblr.com/ is the sister site, It just tugs at my heart

@joyp, count me in!!!!, Tired of relaxing!!!, my hair though is still at the stage where it's short so can only do braids now,

I need ideas, thats where a meet-up will be perfect!!
We could plan for a place when we have a good number of people,

Omg, a natural hair thread . This is wonderful. I'm about to do my second BC in a couple of days. I'm so excited. Can't wait to BC again. Are there any natural haired women in this thread who are in New York?

Why are you doing a second BC, I'm excited going for my first!

Why are you doing a second BC, I'm excited going for my first!

Well, over the past couple of months I haven't exactly been nice to my hair. While I was in London last year, I decided to cut my hair but my family freaked out and talked me out of it [lol] so because of them nearly having a heart attack, I postponed it. Now, I'm ready to do it again. Its grown quite a bit over the past couple of months and I want some change. Your gonna love it when you do the BC, trust me .

Hair related; How do i get a short black fro?

short black fro, i hope that's the name? short dread locks like hair like what okocha is sporting bellow.
i've grown my hair but i'm tired of just combing it and keeping it in a bop. i want it to have some attitude/swag.
what do i need to do, hair cream, conditioner etc. Please guys that keep dreads/braids do offer me a tip or two or point me in the right direction for online tips.
Peace!

Curly hair with white faces,That is so natural.

I have been using shea butter for my body for almost 3 years now and I have seen a remarkable change in my skin. I have a very oily face so i dont use it for my face. recently i tried the banana mask it really helped my face dat after using just 3 times i had to stop cos my face was getting too dry once in 2wks shd be okay. I mix my shea butter wt pears baby oil and it gives it a very nice smell smtimes i add sm other oils like olive oil I also add a tube of Funbact A cream and dats it. very economical I tried to take a cup of fresh juice everyday dat might not be possible in naija but here you can get fresh juice frm street vendors at abt N50 so its easy. I also try as much as possible to detox my system by going all fruit for a day or 2. It really helps less sugar also 1kg of sugar lasts me up to 3months or more.

Gamine: yay i love to see this!

i dont wanna do locks, but maybe i should. .hm m m

I'm a long term natural and good conditioners for natural hair that you can easily purchase in dept stores in Nigeria are
- Herbal Essence Totally twisted
- VO5 conditioners. I'm in with the Strawberry and cream variant
- Organics Root Stimulator Olive Oil replenishing conditioners
- Tresemme Naturals Conditioner

Hope this helps.

Hello everyone. I just stumbled on this thread while looking for where to get sisterlocks installed in Lagos. I transitioned a bit last year before my BC in November. I thought after a year I would show off beautiful hair. Imagine my disappointment .
So I've decided to lock (SL, to be precise) my hair to avoid further harm.

Does anyone know where I can do that?

Pls im fair in color will sheabutter be nice to me.
