Due to demand, I have started making my personal blend of oil I use for my Indian Oiling Treatment. It is made up of 100% pure oils and herbal extracts. It has the following functions.
Bhringrag extract has been scientifically proven to improve hair growth.
Neem extract has antifungal and antibacterial properties which stops growth of fungus responsible for dandruff.
Castor seed oil enhances growth and restore hairline.
Coconut oil strengthen the hair and make it resistant to damage.
Essential oil blend speed up hair growth by stimulating the follicles.
All ingredients are in a synergistic balance.

For now, only 30 will be available each month due to time it takes for extraction. Send an email to nappilynigeriangirl@gmail.com to place your order.

Thank you for your kind words. No, nzu is different from bentonite clay. Bentonite clay is volcanic clay and to my knowledge we don't have active volcanoes in Nigeria .

I am business women working in a multinational company. I have a very bad hairline and it started 15 years ago when I started wearing hair extensions, Hence the most damage done. I discussed with lot of my friends about to fix the hair damage. After that i came to know about NuHairRx serum. I afraid after one week of usage and i felt no result. My mind told atleast i should try some months. But 3 to 4 months usage, i can see the improvement of my hairs length and thickness. Feeling very happy. Lol.

I think you know what the problem with your hair is, the braids and weave. I would find another protective style that will allow me to properly care for my hair. Also your hair sounds like it's very dry and brittle. Deep conditioning and daily moisturising would help with that.

NappilyNigerian:
A lot of people don't think Nigerian hair can grow long and soft unless they are mixed or their hair is relaxed...that isn't true.

Nigerians can have soft and long hair too whether relaxed or natural.

The problem is that we don't really know how to care for our hair type.

The Indians know how to care for their coarse straight hair (coarse being that their hair strands are thick ...people confuse coarse with 'the feel of the hair' not the strand thickness...your hair can be coarse and feel soft).
The Brazilians, the Chinese, the Caucasians all know how to care for their hair type but unfortunately many Africans don't know how to care for their hair.

They'll use products and methods suited for the hairtypes of other races ....and when their hair revolts by being hard, dry, break and such....they blame the hair....not the products or methods!

The key to growing soft, long Nigerian hair is this "NOURISH THE SCALP, STRENGTHEN THE HAIR".

Avoid products and methods that clog or dry out the scalp.
Avoid products and methods that damage the hair strands.

Most Nigerians have hair (in it's natural state) that is
-very coily
-fine stranded
-porous

which make it prone to dryness (reason for the hard to touch) and breakage (reason we don't have long hair).

Even if your hair is relaxed, it can't change the fact that our strands are much thinner and flatter than the straight hair of other races and the chemicals make our hair even more fragile.

Here are simple tips to grow Nigerian hair long and soft.

1.Nourish the scalp

-Natural oils and butters contains nutrients that nourish the scalp.
The scalp is the soil from which hair grows.

-Scalp massages with oils know to stimulate hair growth is beneficial not only to growing hair but also to growing stronger, healthier hair that can withstand styling and be less prone to breakage (which is the reason why one is stuck with one length forever!!!!)..

- Washing the scalp with harsh products dry it out leading to scalp problems and poor hair growth. So use good quality products.

The Indians know it. The Brazilians know it!


2. Strengthen and protect the hair:
- The hair that grows out of your scalp is relatively is not living tissue.Healthy, soft hair starts from the scalp.

- Because our hair is super coily, the natural oils on our scalp cannot flow down to the ends of our hair. (same thing even when you're relaxed. You can't get all the kinks out without damaging the hair).
So a light coating of natural oil daily helps lubricate and protect the strands and retain moisture.

- Speaking of moisture, dryness is the reason our hair feels hard to touch and the reason it breaks.
It's important to use hair products that draw moisture to the cortex of the hair strands keeping it supple, flexible, soft and less prone to breakage. (meaning more visible growth).

- Also don't rip through tangles with a comb (never use those blue rat tailed comb!)
Use a wide tooth comb and detangle from bottom to top as carefully as you would detangled your treasured Brazilian/Peruvian/Indian weave.

- If you're relaxed, make sure your hair is completely dry and oiled (I love coconut oil) before detangling. If you're natural, damp or wet detangling with slippery conditioner will save your length.

Here's a picture of my hair using the right methods and products for my Afro textured hair and I hope to grow it even longer!

Pls show pic of the wide tooth comb
