Hi....hope u all are good
I've been a follower and I need a piece of advice frm u guyz
M nt a naturalist buh I want to transit to a natural hair...can I do dt without cutting my hair?
And wot are the tins I need to do to achieve a great natural hair
Tnx

why not. you dont need to cut your hair when trying to go natural. you can undergo transition,that is trimming off your relaxed hair bits by bits from time to time. this allows your natural hair beneath to grow out successfully...

My hair is four months old, ever since I started the journey, I made use of vo5 shampoo and yes am aware it contains sulphate but I also got to know it can serve as a clarifying shampoo to remove buildups and since I wash my hair like once a month I felt it was ok. So I ran ou and am not planning to buy anytime soon cos i wanted to try the dudu osun but I heard someone say it doesn't remove buildups, please how true is this?

a sulphate shampoo aint good for the hair. no matter what and i really dont know how true it is that a sulphate shampoo can remove build ups...
anyways,dudu osun removes buildups cos its purely natural but not 100%. i only rely on it to treat my dandruff and itchy scalp.

if you wanna get rid of buildups but all you have is a sulphate shampoo. dilute the shampoo before application to reduce the concentration or you can reduce the quantity applied at a time. i hope i answered your question.

BTW,washing your hair only once a month is not the best. twice to thrice will do.

[quote author=omosefeeguaibor post=52928121] can't wait to take off my braid to try this out, and thanks for the dudu osun shampoo and rice water conditioner, it did wonders to my hair, my stylist asked what made my hair that soft i just smiled

your welcome. better tell ur stylist to get ready for more surprises...

your free jare

mizeniola:
Tried the rice water rinse before.... Buh I rinsed off after some time..... Wasn't sure if it was a leave-in conditioner

no ma,it aint a leave in conditioner.
some people apply it as a treatment before conditioner...
but some people feel it will be too much food for the hair doing both at once...
its all about how your hair feels at the moment

tatacherie:

Hello dear

hello

omotoyecable:
Bigups! Op. Following back to back...have been transitioning for six month now, any tips?

transitioning could be very tricking but be patience with that crown...
1. use a silicon free conditioner...
2. prepoo your hair before you shampoo to help prevent any harshness while scrubbing the hair
3. apply a protein treatment at least twice a month.
4. always have a protective cover or make sure your hair is either braided or twisted when free.
5.moisturize often with either hot oil treatment or a cream moisturizer
6.sleep on a satin pillowcase or wear a satin hair cover
7. trim your ends very often. especially wen damp
8. above all,be patient...

will add more tips as i remember them. am just doing a random tin ryt now.

My hair is not natural and am a lover of DIY but since then hv stop all the natural things

you stopped growing a natural hair?

have been so absent here and i feel bad so much things to work on bear with me lovelies

for those of you experiencing hair loss or slow growth. worry less.

you could use guava leaves water to stimulate the growth of your hair. simply boil the leaves in the pot for some minutes,allow to call and drain out the water from the leaves.
Go ahead and apply the water over your hair,gently massage ur scalp in the process. cover with a shower cap for 30mins. you can then rinse your hair with water when done or shampoo.

guava leaves has a lot of vitamins. most especially vitamin E which is an essential ingredient for the hair.

Thanks for the info but how can we use the dudu osu shampoo and rice water conditional Which one come first.

Moreover last year I tried most of these natural things for my hair but I don't get any positive results. It broke my hair

Actually it all depends. if am using fermented rice water. i apply the water first and let it sit for some mins and rinse out with shampoo cos the smell is horrible.

if its just a normal rice water,i do that after shampooing my hair.

your breakage is probably as a result of doing the wrong tins in the wrong way and you need a lot of patience. Natural hair aint dat easy to groom but if u follow the rules,it becomes simple.

i will like to know ur main issues with the hair. let me help.

ellacute45:

Gonna try it out

do let me know how it turns out.

manulove:
Interested too. Please do continue. How do you make your own coconut oil?

am waiting to hear you say you tried it out..

personally,i dont use shampoo. use black soap to wash my hair.

its simple,just place the bar of soap in a jar and water. under 15 mins,the liquid is formed and you can take out the remaining bar of soap from the water. use the liquid soap to wash the hair. never apply the bar of soap directly on your hair.

black soaps are naturally made and provides a lot of nutrients to the hair. it contains camwood,aloevera,palm kernal scent, etc.
over the long run,this is what many naturalists rely on as their shampoo and it hasnt disappointed

omosefeeguaibor:
Wonderful post @ a time when I'm in dire need of it as regards my natural hair, is there any DIY recipe for shampoo too, pls i'd love to have it as well. Thanks in anticipation

wow,am so pleased abt the responses. am sorry for keeping you all waiting,its been very hectic for me of late...

now,to the making of coconut oil. its a simple but hectic process. all you need is coconut. lots of dem. one coconut will get you no oil...
i usually use 2 or 3 coconut to get a bottle. its annoying but worth it. lets get started....

1.) break the hard shells off the coconut,scrape out the whitish part using a knife.

2.) blend the coconut or grate. whichever suites you.

3.) pour in some water to the grated coconut in a bowl and filter out the water. keep filtering for 2 or 3 times.

4.) refrigerate the filtered water for at least over night

5.) take out the coconut water and you will notice a whitish paste flowing on top,separated from the water.

6.) use a spoon,probably a frying spoon to scoop the whitish substance off the water into a pot.

7.) place the pot over ur stove and allow to boil.

8.) The paste boils till it starts to dry. you will notice the oil get formed while the paste is dried.

9.) let it dry and then turn out ur oil into any container....
i hope i explained it well. you can try dis and let me knw how it goes

Never heard of this.

I should probably try it.

How do you make your own coconut oil?

Making coconut oil could be a long process but very simple. i will give the details in my next post. i just need more readers to be sure am not alone on dis. you guys should let me know if i should continue or not...

Good day folks. Am glad we made it to the last day of the year.... heres another DIY i find really amazing.

Ginger and coconut oil mixed together could go a long way in solving your itchy scalp and breakage. I usually make my coconut oil first and then add my grated ginger and daily apply to my scalp and front hair. it helps a lot most especially in treating breakage. if you don't have the chance to make your own homemade coconut oil,you can buy your own bottle of coconut oil. I love making mine cos i need that natural fragrance and ingredients added to my hair.
Let me tell you the benefits of ginger and coconut oil to the hair...

GINGER is rich in minerals and essential oils. it is a useful remedy for dandruff and dry,itchy scalp. it contains few circulatory agents that stimulate blood flow to the scalp. This triggers the hair follicles and encourages new growth.

COCONUT OIL stimulates hair growth getting deep into its follicles. it adds luster,shine and softness to the hair. it equally prevents hair breakage and split ends.

Twaci:
Hmmm. Nice tip
Do tell us more.

Am glad you did find it useful. More is loading.

do you know that in the absence of your hair conditioner and you feel the need to wash your hair. You could opt for Rice water. Don't worry,its simple
.
.
Rice water will do the work. Yes,you heard me. Rice water works perfectly just like the conditioner. all you need do is to pour some cold water into a lil quantity of rice in a bowl and wash(scrub). when your done washing,filter out the rice and you have gotten your water to use.
apply the water after your shampoo,it will work the magic better than our conditioners.it softens the hair and equally adds natural ingredients to your freshly washed hair.

you could equally use filtered water from boiled rice but please let it cool first. this water has been the saviour to my hair since i found it. its creates the softness even more than the conditioners. I call it my Miracle Rinse.

Hello guys,i just wanna share some DIY's (do it yourself) on natural hair and beauty that could be very helpful. you dont need to rush down to shoprite to get your shampoo and conditioner wen you can make yours at home or worry about how to save money to get your creams. you can make dem too... just stay glued..

Good day,i just found this thread. can i still be added to the whatsapp group. i am interested. If yes, add me up with 08087750202.
i appreciate and thumbs up.
