Hair Care Tip of the Week

How do I do a successful braid out?
The one thing you need to remember when doing a twist or braid-out style is that your hair has to be COMPLETELY dry before you remove the twists or braids. The products you use and the size of the braids or twists is also important, but the most frustration usually comes from not letting the hair get completely dry. To achieve this you either need a lot of time to allow it to air dry or you need a good bonnet hair dryer.

Once you have tried the style a few times you can determine the right size of braid or twist to use and the best products that work for your hair. Take notes in your hair journal so that you can remember what you did! In general, if the braids or twists are too small you will get a crimpy looking style, if they are too big, you might not get the amount of waves or curls that you were hoping for. A general good size for longer hair is to have a twist or braid that is about 3/4 inch thick. Make sure that you also twist or braid the sections tightly enough.

Another tip, use a perm rod or roller on the ends to give the final look a good polish.

General Hair Care RegimenTransitioning from Relaxed to Natural

General Regimen
When you are transitioning, there is definitely a learning curve on how to care for your “new growth” texture as well as how to manage two textures combined together.

Process
The process I’m describing here is a general wash and care regimen helping you to figure out the best way to wash, detangle, condition, and style. As 4c hair gets longer, the tangles become incredible and the sheer volume of hair can get overwhelming. When ever I wash my hair I just think “Whew!” Its a lot of hair.

You can do this in the shower or you can do it over the sink. Having a spray nozzle or removable shower head really helps.

  1. Thoroughly wash/rinse hair in sections. It makes it easy to part your hair off into about 6-10 sections and keep them separated with butterfly clamps.
  2. Apply the deep conditioner to thoroughly rinsed sections.
  3. Afer all sections are conditioned, comb through each section with the wide tooth comb to detangle.
  4. Put on a plastic cap and allow hair to deep condition for 15 – 30 minutes. The longer the better.
  5. Rinse hair thoroughly again removing the sections as you go.

Now it is cleaned and conditioned. The next steps depend on what you want to do:
High Pouf
Stretch it Out! – Twist Out
Maintenance Moisture

 

Do’s and Don’ts of Transitioning


Embrace What God Gave You – Going natural is more than just growing out your natural hair. Its about bringing about a shift in your way of thinking about your hair and yourself. If you have been chemically straightening your hair for a very long time, your natural texture might be a shock and a surprise. Remember that your hair is yours and yours alone. You’ll never be able to grow out hair that is like anyone elses’ so there is no point in getting caught up in what anyone else can do with their hair or wishing that you had a certain texture that you don’t have. Learn to love what is yours and how to work with it, and the transitioning process will go so much more smoothly for you. Take a look at this post about embracing your natural hair.

Moisturize and Deep Condition Regularly – Keeping your hair moisturized and deep conditioned is essential to the health of your hair. When your new growth is soft and your relaxed hair is nourished, it won’t break off. Many people going through a hair transition say that their new growth is unmanageable and coarse. If you are really having trouble with the competing textures, the best way to handle it is through conditioning and moisturizing. You will probably notice that your hair is more manageable and just feels better after adopting a consistent conditioning schedule.

Leave it Alone – Try to manipulate your hair as little as possible. Combing and brushing aren’t great for kinky/curly hair.. you want to style it with your fingers most of the time. When you do comb your hair to detangle it, use a very wide toothed comb. Don’t pull it back into tight pony tails or braids.

Wear Protective Styles – Wear protective styles such as braid outs, rod sets, twist outs, flat twists, braids, extensions, or buns. Make sure that you don’t pull your hair back too tightly or else you can end up pulling out all of your precious new growth.

Colloidal Silver and Dandruff/Dry Scalp

colloidal silver
I have been natural since February 2008. One of the reasons why I decided to stop chemically relaxing my hair was because of the damage I saw on my scalp. It was very dry and flaky. After going natural I have still struggled with dry flaky scalp, and I felt it was even worse with natural hair because the flakes get caught in the kinks and it looks terrible. Well, I came across information about colloidal silver when I was reading about natural remedies for bacteria. This stuff is a miracle. I washed my hair and applied to my scalp a mixture of a few drops of the silver and some olive oil. Believe it or not, it knocked out the dandruff in one application! Since then I’ve followed up by spraying on a light water/silver mixture just to make sure that the dryness doesn’t return. However, it has been a few weeks now and I haven’t seen any flakes. None! Its amazing. This is one of those things that I say you should run out and get right now if you are struggling with dry scalp.

Black Hairdressing Styling Products May Cause Medical Problems

Of ethnic groups, African-American women are the most focused on hair care. The Black American good hair care business has been a lucrative business for decades because African-American women are very invested in manipulating their natural hair.

A history of negative stigma associated to curly, frizzy, kinky or nappy hair causes women with anything less than straight hair to search out chemical ways to modify their hair texture. Lye, sulfates, formaldehyde and other harmful ingredients found in the products may be harmful for the scalp, lungs, and total health and wellness.

Natural Hair Inspiration

I decided to look around my city and nearby area to see what other women are doing with their natural hair. These ladies graciously agreed to allow me to feature their hair styles or looks to share with everyone. I had intended to do a short interview with them to find out their favorite products and hair care regiments, but I didn’t get the chance, so hopefully they will comment when they see their pictures! Thanks ladies!!

What are your favorite products?
Currently I am in love with Kinky Curly Custard. I also love bentonite clay and the
Organix line of sulfate free shampoos and conditioners.

What is your general hair care regimen?
I’m a wash and go type of girl right now due to the length of my hair. That’s what I
love about my TWA right now because it’s easy to maintain. I usually co-wash every
other day with my Organix conditioner or Pantene Curly Series deep conditioner.
Once a week I will mix bentonite clay with coconut milk and let that sit in then
wash then deep condition then steam with my huetiful steamer. I will then rinse and
seal with my oil mixture of jojoba, jbco, sweet almond, vitamin E, and avocado. Let
it go or style with my Kcc.

When did you decide to go natural and why?
My best friend big chopped 3months before I decided to transition. I immediately was
fascinated by her hair and proud that she was embracing the hair she was born with.
So July 2011 I received my last perm and I big chopped December 28th of the same
year. It’s been almost a year since I made my decision and 5 months fully natural. I
love my curls and can’t keep my hands out my hair.


Alison likes to play with color on her short curly afro. Her red is fantastic!
Transitioning Hair - Alison

What are your favorite products?
Pantene for brown people (Relaxed & Natural, Pro-V) shampoo & conditioner / Aveda Cammomille shampoo & Madder Root conditioner / Mixed Chicks Conditioners

What is your general hair care regimen?
Wash every other day or so; leave-in conditioner every morning. Deep condition when I remember to. Comb only once a month, until it gets long, then every other week.

When did you decide to go natural and why?
I was tired of getting my hair straightened for a number of reasons: time commitment, price, chemicals burning my scalp every other month, burns on my forehead when curling or ironing too fast, maintenance, wanted to reclaim the hair i was born with.

Top Benefits of Transitioning from Relaxed to Natural Hair

Categories:

by

If you’ve come this far, you probably know that you want to experience your natural hair and possibly transition, but there might be some benefits to transitioning instead of doing the big chop that you may not have considered.


Here, we will go over the top benefits of transitioning from relaxed to natural hair.

You get to keep doing what you are used to. If you decide to transition from relaxed to natural via the gradual process, you can basically keep styling your hair in the same way that you always have for several months while you get used to your natural hair texture growing in. This can be helpful, because the abrupt change of having to deal with a completely new head of hair (as you would in doing the big chop) can be very disruptive, frustrating and challenging.

You avoid the shock of losing all of your hair. By the time I cut off all of my relaxed ends, my natural hair had grown in about 6-8 inches. Yet, when I cut it off, it was still shocking! I always experienced this when I had straightened hair too and I would get a short hair cut. It is just shocking to see yourself looking completely and totally different less than 5 minutes after you sit down in the chair or pick up the scissors. Transitioning is good for helping you to build up your confidence and grow in your beauty with having natural hair. When you do the big chop, you don’t really get the opportunity to grow into the decision emotionally even if intellectually you know you are ready.

You get to keep your length. Transitioning from relaxed to natural hair when your hair is longer can be extremely easy. If your hair is long enough, you can simply wear it up in a bun all the time once your new growth starts to take over. You also get to leverage the lengthy of your relaxed hair to create textured or curly styles that look like natural hair styles but also incorporate your natural hair into your relaxed hair. This can be super cute, and fun. Just make sure that you keep your hair trimmed and that you are taking proper care of your relaxed hair, and especially at “the line of demarcation” (where relaxed hair and natural hair meet), so that you don’t experience breakage. Deep condition, and don’t use heat very often, if at all. If you know that your relaxed hair is mostly just damaged hair, you can hang on to those ends and still do long term transitioning, but it is probably better to get a good haircut to at least take care of splits and damage.

You get a chance to gradually learn about your natural hair. As opposed to doing the big chop, as you transition you get to see what your hair texture is really like, and you get to ease into learning about what works and what doesn’t. Doing the big chop, is like jumping right in to the deep end of the pool, so to speak, even if you don’t know how to swim. Its possible that you’ve never worn your hair natural, or you may have learned a lot of bad hair care habits when you were younger such as glopping on the petroleum based grease or that water is bad for your hair. As you transition, you get to take the time to learn to understand the basics of natural hair care and what your hair really needs. Building this solid foundation of knowledge will help you greatly when you do actually wear your natural hair.
Transitioning from relaxed to natural hair is a gradual process where you experience your new hair texture at a slow pace. Our hair grows about a half an inch a month, so you can see how truly gradual this is. You can use this time to become familiar with all of the different techniques and natural hair care products that will be essential to maintaining your natural hair when the time comes.

You get to transition the people around you. This is a big one especially if you work in a conservative work environment. As you begin showing up with increasingly more “ethnic” or natural looking hair, people may notice, but it will be a progression rather than a shock. We aren’t so much worried about what others think here, this gradual integration into the world can really do wonders for your confidence as you begin to emerge with your natural hair. Read my article on what its like to do the big chop (http://transitioningfromrelaxedtonaturalhair.com/thoughts-on-the-big-chop) and another on how it takes courage to wear your natural hair(http://naturalhaircaretipsforum.com/naturalhaircaretips-iwanttogonaturalbut). Its unfortunate, but true. And doing a slow transition helps tremendously. Aside from the outside world, giving friends and family the opportunity to get used to your new look is also helpful in just avoiding shocked faces or overt and unwelcome opinions. I actually went so far as to notify my friends and boyfriend that I’d be going natural and that things were going to change. Most of them, not having anything close to my kind of hair, had no idea what I was talking about until I got about 9 months or more into it, but I think they appreciated the head’s up. I talked to them about the confidence I’d need to have and that it might be a challenging and emotional journey for me. I let him know that I expected support and no jokes would be tolerated! lol. On the flip side, I also told my already natural friends about my exciting decision. From that faction in life I got nothing but woo hoos and support. Once again, its not about what others think, but just creating a situation and environment for yourself which will foster success with this sometimes challenging process.

Grow it Long Hair Care Guide Review

Review of “Grow It Long: Discover Honest Proven Secrets to Growing Your Hair”

Includes a 6 month plan for extreme hair growth

Like many of you, when I started thinking about going natural I searched all over the internet to find as much information as I could on what products to use and how my hair care routines would have to change. During this research I came across this guide: “Grow It Long: Discover Honest Proven Secrets to Growing Your Hair From the Nape of Your Neck to the Center of Your Back in a Few Short Months” by Donna Hanover.

This is a review of the guide. Click here to visit the Grow it Long website.

At first I thought that the guide was a bit too expensive, $24.97, and I didn’t really believe that it could possibly contain any secrets that I could not find for myself online. But as I continued to buy more and more products and trying EVERYTHING I kept going back to the web page and wondering “What are these secrets?” “Are there really any secrets?!?!” This was especially true as I came to that 6 month to 12 month phase where it gets extremely frustrating.

Well, I’m a curious person, and I also considered how much money I have spent over my lifetime trying all of the different hair care products that I did try. Sometimes I saw results and sometimes I didn’t, so I figured this wouldn’t be any different and I decided to try it. I thought, what if this guide really provides the answers that I am looking for and I never buy a bunch of useless products again? That would be a money saver.

Believe it or not, there are secrets!

Well, there really are secrets. Some of the “secrets” overlap with things that I did find on my own and some tips that I have included on this site. But, this lady actually did some serious research and experimentation and came up with some extremely interesting and useful information. Of course, it would be wrong for me to share her secrets, so I’m doing the next best thing and just reviewing her book.

This guide addresses many of the questions we all have about our hair…

  • How do I get my to grow faster
  • How do I improve the strength and texture of my hair?
  • How do I soften my hair and make it more manageable?
  • How do I avoid knots and breakage?

6 month extreme hair growth challenge

My favorite part of the guide is the 6 month hair growth challenge. She provides clear instructions on what you can do every day to ensure that you are achieving maximum hair growth. This includes diet, products, and regimen.

I tried it myself

I took a few months to try out Donna Hanover’s tips and advice and the regimen that she suggests in the guide, and now I can honestly say that I recommend this guide as an excellent resource for anyone who wants to grow out their natural hair and see it thrive.

What I Loved About the Book

  • It is real. As I said I have been trying her techniques over the past few months, especially the scalp care and general regimen. And I saw results! I have nearly cured my dry flaky scalp, which I have written about elsewhere on this site, my hair texture has improved, and my hair is growing fast.
  • It contains true secrets that you have never heard anywhere else.
  • She includes a scientific hair care study which talks about how your frame of mind and emotional state have an effect on your hair. I love this, and as you know, if you’ve explored the site, I actually talk about this myself. This was when I realized that Donna Hanover and I were on the same page.
  • There is also a bonus book of recipes of healthy hair foods.
  • She also offers a 60 day money back guarantee, so there really is no risk in trying the guide. I did not see any reason to return it, but if you decide to give it a try and then decide to return it, please let me know. I’d be interested to hear more feedback because I don’t want to recommend something that people would return.
  • I saw results! – I just have to say this again. Its pretty exciting when something you try actually works.

Click here see the techniques I learned to make my hair grow longer, faster.

Some constructive criticism

There were just a few small things that I did not like about the guide, and/or the experience with the website.

  • #1 – When you go to see more information about the book, the web page has this overly aggressive pop-up which keeps popping even after you have closed it. I’m always turned off by sites that do this, but I overlooked it to find out the secrets.
  • #2 – Her “Free EBook” is sort of just a rehash of the web page. I hope that my free guide provides some value and extra information that you didn’t already have. If not, please let me know and I will change it. I did not find her Free Ebook very useful, and I was turned off by it thinking that the real book might not be any good either. After seeing the real guide, I can say that she probably just got some bad advice on how to go about this aspect of the package.
  • #3 – There are some formatting, grammar and spelling mistakes on the site and in the book. As a writer this stuff is like nails on a chalkboard to me, but I’m willing to overlook it for solid information – which this guide delivered big time.

I have wanted to write my own hair care guide, so of course I look at the mistakes and think of how I could do it better. However, I couldn’t come close to the research and experience which this guide provides. So in the meantime, this one does provide some quality information which I think is extremely useful.

Here’s the table of contents to give you an idea of what topics are covered…

4 Reasons to Stop Chemically Straightening Your Hair

Categories:

by

If you are still trying to find reasons for transitioning from relaxed to natural hair look no further.

I do not take anything away from anyone who wants to style their hair in whatever way they want to style it. I had fun with chemically straightened hair and I liked the way that my hair looked. What I did not like was the expense, the toll it took on my hair and scalp and whatever unknown damage I was doing to my lungs and body with those chemicals. If you are considering transitioning from relaxed to natural hair and going natural here are some of the reasons why it might be a good decision for you:

  • To achieve healthier hair and scalp – Let’s face it. Chemical hair straightener is made up of some extremely harsh chemicals which can damage your scalp causing dryness, dandruff and other unpleasant scalp conditions. Let’s not even talk about the scabs you get from getting the straightener burns. If you haven’t seen Chris Rock’s “Good Hair” you should definitely watch it if only to see the scenes about hair straightener. It will blow you away. I can imagine that the fumes of the chemicals aren’t exactly great for us either. And when I would get my hair straightened, I would always swear that I could feel the chemicals seeping into my brain and it made me very sleepy. Maybe that was just my imagination.
  • To end the abuse – Speaking of burns… I still get a little chill when I think of that burning feeling waiting for my stylist to just finish off that last section.. .and oh I want to let it stay on as long as I can stand it so that my hair actually gets straight! We’ve all been there. Going natural means never having another chemical burn again. And you can scratch your head whenever and wherever you feel like it!
  • To save money – If you get your hair straightened at a salon, I don’t need to explain the costs involved. If you do it yourself, its somewhat less expensive, but there’s always the cost of the necessary relaxers and neutralizing shampoos. Once you go natural and get a good stock of natural products, your monthly hair costs should be close to zero.
  • To experience the spiritual gratification of being you – This one is a little more subjective, but there is something wonderful and empowering about experiencing your full natural self. I will always argue that weaves, wigs, and hair straightening are as much of African-American culture as are afros, locs, and braids because all of the styles come from our cultural creativity, artistry and ingenuity. But walking with a fully natural head of hair can’t help but give you a sense of authenticity and pride. There’s a certain amount of freedom in not trying to alter anything which feels great.

New Product Tested! – WEN Hair Care System Review

Categories:

by

I finally tried WEN, and I liked it!


Have you ever been up late at night or early in the morning and you’ve seen the infomercial for the WEN haircare system? Well, I have seen this TOO many times. And they always have lovely looking models getting half their hair treated with WEN and half treated with something else. I always rolled my eyes at this because I know better.

Then one day my friend just out of the blue offered me her 2nd supply of the product. She had ordered it and got one free. So she gave it to me, and of course I tried it right away, because I love trying new hair products. I’ll just let the pictures speak for themselves…

Twist Out Process

I think this is the first picture I've posted of the twist out process. This is how I do a fast twist out of the shower.

The result after drying. Soft, bouncy and curly. This style lasts nearly a week if I take good care of it and don't get it wet.

The treatment was really nice. My hair came out of a pretty fast twist out style feeling really soft and it was manageable. I liked it enough to order a kit of my own to keep using. What I liked the most is that my hair felt soft right away after I washed it with the Cleansing Conditioner. I’ve now tried both the Sweet Almond Mint and the Fig scented one, and they both smell great.

Oh, and I have really thick full hair, as you can see. The Cleansing Conditioner lasts about 4 or 5 washes (so about 8 weeks for me). The other products have lasted much longer. The texture balm is awesome for styling and it also lasts for a long time. I can’t exactly tell.. maybe 4 or 5 months. I don’t use it every day.

I’m excited about this product because its one of the rare times I’ve seen something advertised that actually works when you get it. And also, many of you have been asking me about something that does exactly what this product has done for my hair… Softens it, makes it manageable, conditions, protects…

But I do have to go back and stay I still advocate for natural/home made products over anything else. This is just for the ladies who like to try a lot of things and/or don’t have the time for or interest in home made hair products.

Its a fancy Co-Poo
This is the same concept behind what most of us know as co-poo, washing your hair with just conditioner. If you are still looking for the right product to co-poo, this could be the one. You can also achieve very similar results if you find the right other conditioner … I don’t think the WEN people have really invented anything all that unique. They just have it packaged just right, smelling great, and with the right combination of ingredients. If you have found another great conditioner that works well for the co-poo please let me know so I can add it to my list! … but I’m getting off topic.

Kinky Hair
Now, for kinky girls, this will NOT be some miracle potion that will suddenly make your hair curly. No, sorry, not gonna happen. But, as I said, it made my hair soft and really super manageable right out of the shower.

Curly Hair
For curly girls, the product really does add shine and bounce. It helps define the curls. The friend that started me off on this product has curly hair (she’s mixed, Black and Phillippino). It works really well on her hair.

General Conditioning Hair
For all transitioners, I’d say its a great product because it is gentle and protects your hair as it grows out. Of course I’m trying this after my relaxed hair is already long gone, but I’m familiar enough with these sorts of things to be able to tell how it will work on that combination hair.

Thoughts/Warnings/Caveats
One thing that you have to be careful of if you do decide to try it is that they enroll you in an autoship program. I’m a pro at ordering things like this. You just write down the date that you are supposed to cancel on your calendar (pda, outlook, pop-up, alarm, ect), then cancel it. Along with that, take note of the email address, the phone number, your customer info, ect. As long as you pay attention and take care of business, this should not be any hassle. I haven’t had any issues at all. Or maybe you’ll love it and you won’t want to cancel. I just found that it was too much product to have it keep coming so often. They also offer free shipping and a money back gurantee.

Click here to try WEN for yourself.
WEN Hair Care System Review

Let me know your results!!! If I get other feedback from people saying that this doesn’t work for them, I’d like to add it. As we well know, not all products work well for all hair. So please keep me posted!
