Hello, regular scissors are fine to trim your hair, or perhaps your friend didnt do it properly. Except you are a using a denman brush I would say its your brush, natural hair shouldnt be brushed. Its safer to use a wide tooth comb to prevent split ends and breakage.

I only use a wide tooth comb. I have never used a brush nor a styling comb.

Hello house,I started my "natural" journey some months back and am loving it(its my first time of keeping my hair natural,in my adulthood). I was hoping you guys could help me with products that can make my hair curly(mine is looking too kinky),I want a soft curly look. Please help out. Picture of me when I just started.

all lovely

My hair

Hello All,

Very nice thread. I was following it for a while and lost track of it. I have been natural for about 4 years now and it is nice to meet others who are serious about their natural hair. A good job is being done here. Keep it up.

hello ladies

i have been reading this thread since its inception and it really helped me in starting my natural hair journey. i have a four year old daughter whom i used to relax, SMH but i had no idea how to do natural hair at all. before i came to this thread i didnt know that one can keep the hair natural because i have a tender head so keeping natural hair was not an option for me cos my head will be sore just combing relaxed hair .

my daughters hair was damaged because of the relaxer and lack of proper care and i was frastrated so i kept cutting it short. so in 2013 december i started on the healthy hair journey for her and this are the before and after pics.

Thank you ladies, had i not come across this thread i would still be ingorant and frastrated with her hair

first pic is now and second pic is the damaged and breaking hair before

Tbh, the hair in the second picture still looks damaged.

Is she fully natural now? Do you straighten her hair somehow?

It looks like it needs to be trimmed, deep conditioned and moisturized. Her edges are breaking off too.

How do you take care of it and what products do you use? Just asking so I can help.

Thanks Yield!

No i never used heat after we started the natural hair journey, its her hair colour and i had just washed it and air dried it without products there. Her hair is kind if dull but i cant colour it since she is still young so yeah it looks like that. And i had just trimmed it there. Is there a remedy for dull hair?
And yes i have always had issues with her edges, i mostlt african plait her hair so i think it was pulling her edges. I now am just doing the mini twists on her to recover her edges. So any advice will be appreciated cos am still learning as i go
Here is anada pic of her hair that same day

This is my hair. I completely shaved everything from my head when i started my daughters hair journey so dat i can practice on my head as well. So this hair is 1year exact. 1st pic its slightly streched and in first pic its still damp. So you see my daughers hair is similar to mine without products? Her hair was also slighly damp in both photos

Welcome aboard.

Thanks a lot. I will be frequenting this place often from. I am trying to grow my hair to waist length at the end of this year, cos I am trying to prove to a friend that it is possible to grow waist length natural hair (We have a bet). So I am on an extreme low manipulation hair growth journey mostly braids. My hair is 3c, low porosity and is very fine.
Below are some of my pix.

I hope the pix comes out well

Aww, look at her little head . Her hair looks like a 4c, 4c typically naturally looks like that. You can't change it. There's nothing wrong with it.

You can use the LCO (liquid-creadm-oil) method to add shine, making it "appear" less dull:
-liquid -start with wet hair
-cream hair -use a cream that's water-based, meaning 1st ingredient must be water
-oil hair -add oil; I will suggest olive oil

The LCO method is also a great way to keep moisture in her hair and prevent dryness.


"Her hair is kind if dull but i cant colour it since she is still young"
-Colouring her hair won't make it less dull. Please accept her hair the way it is and stop saying it's dull (I hope you're not telling her that). That's just her hair type and it's perfectly fine as it is.

Which mini twists do you do? 2-strand twists are a perfect, low-manipulation style that can help retain length. You can do the LCO method above and then 2-strand twist a section of her hair at a time. Let her wear it for a week, then take down; if she can wear it for 2-weeks that would be even better. Wash, deep condition, LCO and re-twist. This will also allow her edges to rest because you're not pulling or causing any strain on it. The best way to grow edges is to leave them alone. If you do this her hair will be healthier and longer.

Yeah, you have similar textures, though her hair is stretched out in the pictures and yours isn't.
Your hair looks like 4c too but yours looks moisturized.

Thanks!!!! the waist length bet is for December 2015, so I still have about 9 months to go.

Loool, though I joined '06 but I am more of an avid reader and information digester, I rarely post but hopefully that would change.

@nikky04, I'm soooo loving ur hair.

thank you yields i will do the steps you mentioned and see if her hair changes. i never leave her hair out. i normally wash it on friday and deap condition it, then air dry and african plait it until sunday to strech it for proper plaiting. i normally leave her hair in plaits for two weeks.

No i never say anything bad about her hair infact i always call it pretty. she even has a black barbie and other ethnic haired dolls.

she loves her hair in two strand twists because she can touch it and is always shaking it. i was thinking of leaving the twists for six weeks and then do mini braids with her hair because i read that it can be washed and with her hair almost sandy every week i like washing it.

she has a low density hair while i have very high density and low porosity hair.
thank you so much for the advices cos i always wonder why her hair never looked moisturised while mine does and yes i use the same products on her

I love what am seeing
