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.

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

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.

nikkykay:
Thank u Ife for this wonderful advice.
I want to know the implication of not cutting my baby (14mths) first hair. The hair she was born with.
I have been makin her hair since she was 6mths with clothed bands.
Just after she was 1yr in Feb, i decided to be taking her to hairdresser to make her hair. The HD started using wool & rubber bands> This has caused a graet damage to her lovely and very full hair thereby making it scanty.
I have decided to go back to making it myself with clothed band.
People are now saying its becos i havent cut the first hair which i believe has trimmed off while making her hair all these while.
Please i want to know if i shld cut d hair even ho its still long or i shld just continue to making it till it grows back and then trim to level later

NOTE: i always follwed ur above advice whn i was making the hair all by myself but whn she statrted going to salon i was told to be making her hair every 2weeks cos of her scalp so i wasnt washing weekly again every week but every 2weeks. I discovered later dat dirts wuld have clogged to d base of the weaving dreby making d hair to cut.

Thank you

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.

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.

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.

faithuak: My hair is very long bt doesn't av weight,wat should I do? The front is lik Rita Dominic front hair(no hair)
* Get your protein- your hair keratin grows from the inside out, so your protein and overall nutrition intake is at utmost importance. You also have to include some grass-fed animal products to your diet.
Examples of protein-rich foods includes:
turkey, beef, etc/ wild-caught fish/ scallops/ yogurt, etc. Avoid stress, it causes hair to thin, fall out and break easily. Take B complex vitamins. No smoking and caffein. Dont overwash your hair, rather than shampooing use conditioner instead.
Be careful when you comb your hair. A standard rule to live by is never comb wet hair. This leaves the hair more susceptible to breakage, so even if your conditioner bottle says to comb the conditioner through the hair in the shower dont do it. Stay hydrated. Feed your hair with essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. You can do this by eating a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables, fish, cucumber, spinach, almond, etc. You can also take omega 3 fish oil supplement.
Use different shampoos and conditioner. Rotate them once per week. This keeps your hair from becoming immune to the products. Avoid heating instrument such as brow dryer, straighner, curling iron, etc

@ifeholuwarh,pls wat do I do cos I really need ur help.
Sorry. I am abit busy @ work and I just av little time to spare 4 myself, hope you understand.

HOW TO GROW YOUR HAIR FAST
* Stay hydrated- water keeps our skin and hair hydrated and healthy.
* Use a good conditioner- shampoo doesnt really matter, whether it says moisturizing or not. Shampoo lathers strip your hair of its natural oils.
* Always rinse hair products out of your hair with cold water, it seals the cuticle and locks in moisture, leaving your hair soft and smooth.
* Dont comb your hair when its wet. Take daily multivitamins. Use a leave-in conditioner after getting out of the shower. Seal it with essential oil.
ESSENTIAL OIL:
Normal coconut oil and olive oil just helps keep the hair non-messy and neat, but does not help to grow your hair.
Almond oil is known for its good qualities and helps hair grow long faster.
Castor and mustard oil are widely used for its good hair enhancing characters.
U should massage any of those oil on you scalp daily.

Tips:
Easy hair growth treatment which you can make in your own kitchen: curry leaves and coconut oil. Curry leaves does wonders for hair growth. Boil these two together until the black residue starts forming, then harvest this residue and apply it to your hair. Use it twice a week to replenish your hair, help it grow faster and even fight gray hair. You dont want to fry the leaves, just boil them abit and then harvest the black residue.

hornipipe: So why do I fall sick when I grow my hair for about 5 months? I tried it last year, I started growing around may last year but had to cut it in November, since then I've been fine but the hair is building again all I do is trim it, by next month it'll be 5 months since I last cut my hair and I'm scared of falling sick again.
P.S don't tell me to visit a doctor, I talked to my bro and my elder sis talked to this Chinese dude doctor and he told her it was due to my long virgin hair, so is there no way out? undecided
It could be psycology or medical problem. I am not into medicine.

Let me tell you my theories which are definitely not a fact so I dont give you false hopes.
* Your scalp might be weak. In such situation, since weak scalp cannot withstand pain you would constantly suffer from headaches and body or joints pain.
* Playing with your hair constantly. Pulling and combing constantly or changing a hair style several times and simultaneously can cause pains which you would feel as illness. Remember, your hair is not a toy.
So sorry I cant help much.

It looks like u sleep without covering your hair with satin/silk scarf or cap. Wrap your hair up, this stops a ton of breakage. This is because you toss and turn so much when you are sleeping and ordinary pillow have rough material at a close level. This can yank and grab your hair and break it very easily overnight making it grow unevenly.

I have given tips on how to maintain a weak hair in my previous post. The major cause of weak hair could be due to the application of harsh chemicals, relaxer inclusive. The main step of maintaining your hair is condition, condition, condition. Condition your hair daily, apply leave-in conditioner, and seal it with oil-base conditioner, you can use pink oil. Also deep condition and apply protein treatment atleast once in a month. Comb with a wide tooth comb gently and never comb your hair when it is wet. It is a fact that black hair is very vulnerable while its wet. The hair itself gets broken down by water thus making your hair strands weaker. When your dries the molecules change and become strong again.

Jojoba oil, coconut oil, olive oil are sold in both supermarket and stores, most especially those in malls. pomegranate seed oil- I have not seen the pure type, just seen some few products containing it. I am not into brazilian hair or "natural hair" so I dont know the serum you are talking about. And yes, olive oil is the same as the one used for praying.

joek: Pls my baby girl who is about clocking 3 yrs has very short hair thereby making it impossible for her to plait it. What can I do?

"using the right baby hair care to make your baby hair grow is the key to setting up the building blocks for achieving long, beautiful, healthy hair for baby".

To help your baby hair grow, take care of the scalp and when it is time for her hair to grow, healthy hair will appear.

* Wash her hair once per week. Use a gentle shampoo for babies. Dont use adult shampoo with harsh ingredients.

* Condition her hair and scalp everyday or atleast three times per week with mild conditioner meant for kids. Wet her hair in the bathtub, place a small amount of conditioner in your palm and spread it through her hair. Use baby comb to comb it through her hair. Let the condition sit on her hair and scalp while she plays in the bathtub. Wash out the conditioner when you are ready to take her out of the bathtub.

* Dry her hair naturally. Do not use blow dryers or heat of any kind on baby's hair. Remove exess water with a towel.

* Oil her scalp with light oil. Choose light oil like olive oil, carrot seed oil, or shea butter oil. Never put heavy oil such as vaseline, mineral oil, or hair pomades on her delicate scalp. Massage the oil onto her scalp with the tips of your finger. Massage gently in a circular motion from the back to the front.

* Comb her hair and leave it free. Do not try to squeeze it into caps or barrettes if it does not fit. Wait till her hair grow long enough before braiding it. Be realistic about what style of hair it can do and dont try to force it to do what you want it to do. The local style of weaving hair "adimole" is adviceable.

* Switch sleeping positions. Place her to sleep in different positions to alleviate stress on any one side.

* Minimize breakage. Do not use rubber bands on her hair opt for clothed bands instead. Always comb her hair carefully when it is wet to minimize breakage and pain. Happy easter.

Basically, when it comes to choosing hair care products, its best to choose the one that works for your hair type. Do not compare your hair with your friends hair because theirs look healthy and so you use their hair care products. It might not achieve what you wanted because our hair are so wide in varieties ranging from thick coarse hair to very soft baby curls, so be careful. Since you have a very fragile front hair, start your experiment with children (mild) relaxer and then gradually move up to the adult type till u find one that suits ur hair type. Remember to tell your stylist to properly oil your scalp before applying the relaxer. And use a neutralizing shampoo when washing it off. Happy easter.

Oby1: How do I manage gray hair, that is making it dark.

Things You'll Need:

*. Hot oil treatment kit
*. Hair combs and brushes especially designed for Black hair
*. Spray bottle for misting the hair
*. Satin scarf or pillowcase for protecting hair during sleep

Instructions:

*Wash your hair no more than once a week, gently massaging your scalp. Carefully blot out excess water with a towel. Apply a leave-in deep conditioner.

*Have your hair professionally cut at least every six weeks. If desired,color your hair with a hair color preparation made especially to cover gray. Use a hair moisturizing lotion, or shea butter-type oil daily.

Tips & Warnings
* African hair tends to be more fragile than other types; therefore, take special care when combing and brushing your hair.
* Using a special shampoo designed for graying hair will help alleviate a yellow tinge in your hair.
* De-tangle your hair from the ends and work your way down to the root.

The first step is to recognise the cause of your hair problem. You should relax ur hair atleast after 3 mths nt every month. Relaxing often cause chemicals to overlap, breaking down the layers of ur hair creating weak spots.

* Use moisturising shampoos and conditioners. Use a good protein treatment- regular reinforcement protein helps your hair stand up to chemicals and harsh products.

* Deep condition with heat. Adding heat to ur deep treatments produces three times the result. Steam helps oil and conditioner to penetrate into the hair shaft rather than coating it.

* Use leave-in conditioner. They work to seal in moisture, make styling easier and smooth the cuticle for healthy sheen.

* Seal your ends with moisture. Coat your ends with african shea butter and cover it with plastic cap for 30mins. Your ends get a mini treatment that leaves them soft and super hydrated.

CAUTION
Dont let your stylist leave chemicals in your hair longer than they have to. Straightening your hair more than 80% is bad for its strength.
