Am hairy and my scalp hair grows fast but the length doesn't increase or change much cos it breaks faster than it grows. I have had to start over several times but there's still no difference. My hair isn't so dark so i used to dye it, but there was stil no improvement after i stopped and started all over. I have curly full hair that looks very thick and tough but is actually really soft and i also need recommendations on relaxers to use on my hair cos the ones have tried ends up burning my scalp, some were so harsh on my scalp that i had to wash it off immediately after application. plsssssssss i need advice on what to do, even if it means starting it all over again!  |

That's why it's hardly surprising that argan oil, also known as Moroccan oil, has become a popular component of many skin and hair care products these days. Manufacturers are trying to cash in on the trend. However, just because there's a trend, it doesn't mean that argan nut oil is merely a fad that will be forgotten after a few months. The use of buy argan oil has been around in Morocco for hundreds of years. Its effectiveness as a hair conditioner is proven. |

I am sorry for the delay in response. Please it was not intentional. LETS LEARN SOME THINGS ABOUT RELAXERS: Both lye and no lye relaxers are both very strong alkaline chemicals that work by changing the basic structure of the hair shaft. The chemical penetrates the cortex or cortical layer which gives our hair its natural curls, and loosens the natural curly pattern. Once this process is performed, it is irreversible. This process produces the desired effect yet damages our hair health leaving it weak and extremely susceptible to breaking and other damage. Ever wondered; Why some relaxers are harsher than others, they were meant for thicker hair. Why some gives you allergic reaction while others dont. Why some burns your hair even without scratching it and yet people you know never complained. Why some relaxers straightened others hair well but never yours. These variations are due to your scalp normal pH level. Too acidic scalp=neutralizing effect. Too alkaline scalp= burns central. If you are on a certain medication or you consume acidic foods or fruits such as orange juice, soda etc. This can lower your normal body pH from 5.5 to 3.5. This means that scalp secretions, perspiration or sebum will be at the same lower pH. All of these plus heavy hair dressings, coat the lower shaft causing a pre-neutralizing effect on the hair prior to contact with the relaxer. combing a relaxer cream with a pH of 12-13 with scalp secretions at a pH of 3.5-4.0 may result in a pH of 8.5 or less. This pH is generally too low to relax you hair. So apart from finding the right relaxer for your hair it is also essential to control the pH level of your body. I feel, choosing a relaxer brand for somebody because of how it works for my hair is not advisable in sense that we all have different hair texture as well as our scalp sensitivity. So I advice; if you are trying the product for the first time, try scalp test by applying the relaxer on a small area of the scalp and wait to see what kind of reaction you personally have to it. This will prevent you from allergic reactions and scalp damage problems. |

Tolueneayomide: Hi. Use organics kit relaxer 4 my hair, bt its nt of even length & cn b anoying wen i wnt to style & pack. Any remedies? One thing we should always bea in mind is that when we treat our hair with chemicals it will either fall out, or suffer from so much breakage. this is always observed 2-s wks after application. Relaxing the hair harm it no matter the kind of relaxer used. So the question is how do I strengthen my hair after relaxing? *First you have to trim our hair because split ends couldget out of contol and travel up your hair shaft, making some part of the hair shorter than the rest. *Get some protein treatment- It's important not to overdo the protein because too much can be drying. Alternate mild protein treatments with deep conditioners to keep your hair healthy and prevent breakage. *Ease up on heat; High heat-damage-breakage. Frequent heat-damage-breakage. While curling irons, flat irons and blow dryers make our live easier, allowing us to wear just about any style, these toolscan also cause irrevocable damage when used to often. INCREASING STRENGTH WITH NATURAL OILS Coconut oil is particularly recommended foruse this wa, the beauty of coconut oil is that it fills in the gaps in your hair and makes it stronger, this in turn makes it more resistant to combing damage. Do consider using extra virgin coconut oil it contains more nutrients due to its unrefined nature. one way to gain the benefit of the nutrients contained inthe oil, is to do a hot oil treatment. Other oils which are ideal for strengthening your hair are mustard oil and sesame seed oil. |

nikkykay: Cutting a child's first hair is just an old myth. It is believed that a child's first hair is connected to the child's destiny since that is the hair the child brought into the world from heaven. So parents are advised to cut it off and disposed it secretly so that ones enemy do not use it to cause harm on the child. personally, I find that premitive. I dont know about you, tho'. But if you dont believe in such, then you should have no problem keeping her first hair and maintaining it till its longer. |

preety jay: hy ife. i have been followin ds thread i must say i luv wat ur doin. HOW TO TREAT DANDRUFF 1- Select a medicated dandrff shampoo: using a medicated dandruff shampoo can treat danduff problems. Typical dandruff treatment shampoos include active ingredients like zinc pyrithione ZPT, Ketoconazole, Selenim sulfide, Sulphur and salicylic acid to treat the scalp and fight the fungal infection causing the dandruff. Gently comb your hair to loosen dandruff on the scalp, then treat the hair evary two to three days with dandruff shampoo treatment since dandruff tends to respond positively to frequent shampooing especially when the dandruff shampoo is allowed to sit on the hair undisturbed for several minutes. But if shampooin you hai more than once a week is not appealing, then working the shampoo into your scalp for five minutes and leaving it undisturbed on the scalp for another several minutes during your weekly wash may be an effective alternative. This danruff treatments include the use of both shampoo and conditional which keep you hair moistures and dandruff free. 2- For stubborn cases of dandruff that do not improve in several weeks, alternating your dandruff shampoo with another dandruff shampoo that contain a different active ingredient could be applied. Once dandruff begins to improve gradually phase out your medicated shampoo. 3- Moisturize you hair using leave in conditioners and natural oils such as coconut oil. Due to the fact that regular shapooin of your hair would cause it to dry out, it is advisable to hydrate your scalp regularly. 4- Avoid heavy oils and pomades: This oiling products may provide temporary, cosmetic relief of flaky danduff, it may also worsen the dandruff problem. Also thooughly rinse the conditioner from your hair, as leftover product residue can mimic the apperance of dandruff on the scalp also new growth can trap conditioners near the scalp and cause flaking if rinsing isnt done properly. 5- Improve on your diet: Eatind well balanced diet has important benefit beyond relieveing dandruff. Siegfried Gurshe's encyclopedia of natural healin idenifies carbohydrates intake as a trigger of dandruff and suggests increasing B-Vitamins intake to fight dandruff. Excellent dietar sources of B-6 include beans, meat, poultry and fish. Gurshe suggests avoiding trigger foods such as white flour, suger, chocolate, nuts and shellfish to contol dandruff. Consult your doctor befor beginning any new dietary regiment. 6- See a dermatologist if condition worsens or does not improve after treatment. |

GETTING LONGER HAIR AND INCREASING HAIR GROWTH WITH NATURAL OILS: Massaging your scalp promoted hair growth due to th increased blood flow to the hair follicles. using a natural oil that stimulate circulation increases the benefit of the massage, as it works with the massage to supply your hair follicles with the nourishment that your hair needs. Nourished follicles promote and produce better hair growth. The oils that you can use in this way are, rosemary oil and mustard oil both of these oils increases circulation. Hair growth can also be stimulated by using unrefined oils to massage your scalp, they contain higher levels of noutrients which are good for your hair. As plain castor oil is a ver thick oil, you may want to blend it with lighter oil such as Almond oil. Ultimately for scap massage to be really effective, it needs to be done on a weekly basis for 10mins at a time |

HOT OIL TREATMENT: A hot oil treatment can be done on wet or dry hair and then shampooed out. To treat wet hair, simply warm the oil by pouring it into a bowlor an old squeezy applicator bottle. Place the bowl or bottle in hot water to warm. Aply the natural oil to your scalp and hair, massage it through. Ensure you test before hand that it is not too hot. Cover your hair with a plastic cap and wrap a hot towel around your head. or sit under a hooded dryer for 20-30mins. shampoo out. For dry hair treatment, heat the oil and apply it to your hair and leave in overnight, shampoo out in the morning. |

Dis is what I've been searching for. Ever since I started making my hair a year ago, I've not yet relaxed it. My natural hair is full, black and very stubborn. It tangles so easily dat I'm always scared of washing. Perhaps U did suggest tips on how to soften my hair, reduce d rate at which it tangles which automatically stretches d hair. P.S- I've made use of a stretcher a few times but my hair still comes back to it's normal state. Thanks in anticipation 4 Ur respönse. 1 Like |

| Re: How To Grow Your Hair Longer Than Expected by Nafbel: 7:43pm On Aug 25, 2013 |
Destinygrl : Yes its the normal VO5 conditioner. When I saw the post at blackhairinformation, I felt it was wrong to use a rinse out conditoner as a leave-in, so I asked if am supposed to wash it out but the response was "as a leave-in". My hair is a virgin hair, it is super soft since I started using it with less breakage |
| Re: How To Grow Your Hair Longer Than Expected by Destinygrl(f): 2:19pm On Aug 26, 2013 |
hmmm guess its ok to use deep conditioner as leave-in conditioner as some people do. tnks for sharing the tip |

Hi people... Been following this thread and it's been quite eye opening... Now I wanna ask, how true is it that fixing weave-ons helps the hair grow longer  NB: I've virgin hair and I've been on a 'marathon fixing' since December 2012...as I'm always scared to leave my hair open for too long.... |

yeah sure i prefer to let my pores breathe |
| Re: How To Grow Your Hair Longer Than Expected by Destinygrl(f): 10:23pm On Aug 27, 2013 |
weave-on is a protective style so it can mk hair grow longr if fixed in d rt way or alopica if done too tight, for it to serve as a hair growth style one has to take care of d real hair under it by washing or cleaning d scalp, moisturizing, sealing and scalp msgs. @bukatyne does ur hair break or shedd, the broken hairs do they hv white bulbs at d end or not? if they do pls try tea rinse if not cheek ur protein-moisture balance and finger detangle b4 combing to reduce knots nd breakage during combing |

Hi, ife. Thanks for your advice but i just wanna know a few things. 1) I started making my hair in may, 2010. Though, its reaching my back now i.e the length, but i know its supposed to be longer than that because when i was young before i cut my hair, it was way longer than it is now. What should i do? 2)Also, i'v been using ebony to relax my hair and its been trying small though my hair is stubborn. I changed to UB last 2 mnths and it did wonders to my hair but i read something that we shld avoid any shampoo that contains sodium laureth sulfate but the UB shampoo that came wif the relaxer contains it. Is the UB shampoo and conditioner bad? If yes, which should i use? Pls specify. 3) Also, i dnt hv hair at front. What do you advice i use? 4) is a conditioner the same as leave-in conditioner or moisturizer? Thanks |

MOAsymbolic: Hi, ife. Thanks for your advice but i just wanna know a few things. Alternative SLS shampoos are Creme of Nature Argan oil sulfate free shampoo and Keracare Cleansing creme. For front hair, massage a mix of castor oil,rosemary essential oil and shea butter daily. It takes a month or two for new hair to grow out. Please avoid tight braids and weaves and don't over relax the front. That's what is making it weak. A conditioner is different from a leave in conditioner and a moisturiser due to the different ingredients present in it. A conditioner aids in detangling and balances out your hair, a leave in conditioner is designed not to be rinsed out and a moisturiser contains a mix of water and oil. 1 Like |

chiggie: hi y'all! I've had natural hair all my life too. The most likely reason it hasn't grown in a while is because you may not moisturise your hair easily while it is in extensions and weaves. So it gets dry and break off. How long do you take the weaves and extensions for? Do you deep condition prior to styling? What products are you currently using? |
