Thank you. I'm not sure about the pic you mean but the first set of pics with braids is a blowout using a blowdryer. Then I made a single braid.

The second set of pics with free hair is a result of twistouts. I rarely leave my hair in a fro because it dries out faster and breaks off.

U are doing a very gr8 job here

We just need patience in taking care of black hair. I moisturize daily with water and glycerine, apply gentle touch leave-in conditioner and seal with a mixture of coconut and castor oils. I do the inversion method for a week every month.I drink bamboo tea cos its rich in natural silica that is essential for hair strength. I do the carameralization deep conditioning method for my new growth (its a mixture or cornstarch, castor oil,banana, acud vinegar rinse). U can google it for other ingredients

I use green tea(to reduce shedding, bamboo tea( to add silica to hair) ,black tea( to reDuce shedding and darken hair)

I dnt have money for hair trigger elixir that is mking ppl go gaga. I had to concoct my own. No time. Mixed my cayenne pepper with olive oil,castor oil, onion, moringa, coconut oil, basil, pepper mint oil. Leaving the additives to infuse into the oil. I'll let you guys knw how it turns out during my next wash. ;DI dnt have money for hair trigger elixir that is mking ppl go gaga. I had to concoct my own. No time.

My current products are

Shampoo : Keracare Cleansing Cream. It contains shikakai,neem seed oil,amla oil and argan oil. It's really gentle and doesn't strip your scalp or hair. I got this from Twentysix85.com

You can substitute with Creme of Nature sulfate free shampoo or Organics root stimulator creamy aloe shampoo..use diluted and on scalp only.

Conditioner: VO5 Strawberry and Cream conditioner or Herbal Essence Long Term Relationship or ORS Replenishing conditioner (love the fragrance)

Leave In Conditioner: Cantu Shea Butter Leave In Conditioning Repair Cream

Oil : Coconut oil, castor oil and palm kernel oil

Seal and styler: NappyGirl Pudding


Hair regimen

I'm currently following the Indian method of haircare to maintain the length of my hair and it's working really well.

Everyday, I apply a light coating of coconut oil to my hair after misting it with water (since I'm natural). If you're relaxed, apply to dry hair.

Then every three days I give my scalp amd edges a light massage with castor oil.

The night before wash day, I'll coat my hair with coconut and palmkernel oil completely saturating it. Then cover with a showercap and a scarf for bed.

On wash day, I'll shampoo with Keracare massaging my scalp then rinse.
Then I'll pour a 1:3 solution of ACV to my hair, wait for 5 mins then apply conditioner and rinse with cold water.

Blot dry with a microfibre towel or T shirt (prevents breakage).

Then I apply coconut oil, then Cantu , then NappyGirl Pudding in that order. If you're relaxed coconut oil to damp hair is fine.

That's it.

Don't do any tight style and always wrap your hair before bed to protect it at night.

If you feel your ends are dry, apply Cantu lightly and seal with coconut



All the listed products are not easy to get. The least of all which is coconut oil has been difficult to get. Pls, where can I get them all. My hair is relaxed, I stopped using weavons, braids etc due to my hair not growing again but which grows very fast in the past and constant hair loss. I got a sulfate free shampoo online by Chaz Dean and start washing my every 2weeks but no changes. I need your help on regimen for relaxed hair and where to get the products to be used. Am expecting your response. Thanks for posting this.

[quote author=Kaffy8910][/quote]
what's acv? I use Dr. miracle's relaxer, wen cleansing conditioner by chaz dean and organics hair mayonnaise for conditioning and lastly palmier coconut conditioner as hair cream, that's all. I have got so many hypes on oils but been unable to get them. The coconut oil I bought smells exactly like oil used to fry coconut, I don't know if its the real deal. Can't find castor oil, amla oil is scarce. Pls, where do you get your hair products from? And I will be glad if you can help with a regimen for relaxed hair. thanks.

@kaffy. U can get those products at Casabella in shoprite, Adeniran Ogunsanya. Then coconut oil from agbo (herb) sellers in musin

Even with weaves on?

I don't use weavon, cos I feel the chemicals used to process them are harsh on my hair. But to reply your question,I think you should just mist the braids beneath your weavon with a mixture of water and glycerin,then seal with oil. Then do oil scalp massages like thrice a week

ur hair is so beautiful,pls how old is ur hair.

i am relaxed but would love to go on the natural , pls what are the steps i should follow

Nice thread. I love your hair.

I agree that black hair can grow long but I don't agree with the comparison to Asians, Brazilians and Caucasians. If these people followed your regimen, they will have hair almost down to their feet! Their hair just grows naturally fast even when they treat it poorly. it takes them less than 2 yrs to get their hair to ur length with very minimal care. just shampoo and condition. And their ponytail will look even thicker and shinier to boot.

Let's all just admit that most blacks or Africans have a hair texture that's difficult to maintain and grow long. It CAN grow long but the effort and time isn't worth it for most people. What tribe are you from? Even among west Africans, there is some diversity and variety in hair textures such that some people are able to grow their hair more effortlessly ex. fulani vs yoruba/igbo.

Overall, I think that with our hair texture, the best or most efficient state for us to wear our hair is medium/short. But due to the society that we live in that values western ways of beauty ie long, straight hair, we are all putting ourselves through a lot of pain and trouble to conform to these standards that will always elude us.

Plssss! Can green tea and black tea be used at the same time? 2. Is african black soap better than shampoo,I mean for washing hair.

lovely hair. I've been thinking of turning my hair back to natural n nw i cn see urs i wld love to. Pls how do i go abt it

NappilyNigerian:

I've posted pics of my free hair earlier. Here's a clearer pic. Because my hair is natural and I'm working towards growing it longer, my hair is usually in a protective style.

hw do u expect me to believe dis is ur natural hair,dis look more of a dread to me,so pls when it use for weaving,or adimale

@99cent
Please dont let TV/film deceive you every race has women with thick hair, thin hair, hair that doesnt grow beyond their chin.
I see this every day.
What is common across board is that we all all have different curl patterns and just because some curl patterns are coily doesnt equal the fact that long length is not in our genes

@nappilynigerian
