I am wondering how well the Maxiglide works on African American's who have thick and coarse hai

I am a African American female who has very thick, coarse hair. I've recently decided to go 'natural' with my hair and haven't applied any chemicals to my hair in over 3 months. I am looking for products or methods that will help me straighten my hair while I'm letting my processed hair grow out and my 'new growth hair' come in.

Or should I not even bother with straighteners right now and just cut off all my processed hair and began anew? I was told that that is the easiest route to take when trying to go natural with your hair. If this is the best method, what would be the easiest and best way to wear my hair fashionably, but at the same time making sure that it is healthy?

I am wondering how well the Maxiglide works on African American's who have thick and coarse hair.?

the whole point of transitioning to natural hair is so you can slowly get use to your natural hair texture...trying to make your natural hair as straight as your relaxed hair will make your hair break off where the different textures meet. it is best if you want to keep your length to start doing natural styles (twists, cornrows, rollersets). or you could just cut all your relaxed hair off so you don't have to worry about two different textures that have two different sets of needs

I am wondering how well the Maxiglide works on African American's who have thick and coarse hair.?

I'm 13, african american, and have very naturally curly hair. My mom bought me a maxi-glide, and it works so well!!! No joke. It works on all hair types and texturess =]]. I was even able to slide my fingers through my hair. I love it so much! It also comes with an instructional DVD, so have no worries. And don't listen to what the other person above said. It works great. It doesn't burn you as long as you follow the proper guidlines mentioned in the DVD. If a 13 year old whose had it for over a month and doesn't burn themselves, a grown woman should have no problem with it.

How do i make my hair grow 15 inches march or july??

i have already started going to the gym alteast a month before new years. now all i have to work on is my hair. i've had extiensions and wigs, and it's just not the same as reguler hair.

my friends (who are all white) hair all grow like ******* weeds and mine...it took me five years for it to get to my neck...and that was with constent breadeing..and no relaxing..and i never even cut it eather....but i guess i dind't really care about my hair than..but now i'm older and i do care.

does anyone have any tips on how to make african american hair grow really fast? and healthy? like 15 inches by march or july?

i was thinking of keeping my hair breaded...becaosue i heard that is supposed to help. what about any hair growth stuff?? thats cheap? would that help? of so could u have me some brands that u've tried that have helped?

thank u so much for ur help :)

How do i make my hair grow 15 inches march or july??

Soorrry theres no way, 15inches in july.

Some people's hair is like that. We cant do anything. but try this one, if ya see improvement after a month or two ,do it

regularly. i think it might work as the ingredients can make hair grow.

Hair Growth Mixture

-1/4 c pure Vitamin E oil

-1/4 c castor or jojoba oil

-15 drops of rosemary oil

-15 drops of peppermint oil

Place ingredients in a container %26amp; mix well. Use one fingertip to dip into the mixture %26amp; gently massage.

The ingredients are known to aid in hair growth, which is perfect for helping regrow the hairline.

It is fine to use little every night, only if you clean your hair often (at least a few times per week).

Its important to rinse off heavy oils so they won't clog your hair follicles - which can cause itches

and slow down hair growth.

breaded? you mean braided?

How do i make my hair grow 15 inches march or july??

ok, normal hair grows about a half an inch a month. fyi

How do i make my hair grow 15 inches march or july??

Not gonna happen. Your hair grows about as fast as your fingernails. Be patient. it will get there.

How do i make my hair grow 15 inches march or july??

You can try getting extensions or even a full weave. My hair grows really slow too, and I had a weave for about 3 months. When I took it out my hair had grown a lot! Weaves are kinda expensive (probably about $300 for the hair and weave) but it's really worth it, especially if your hair bothers you a lot!

Oil sheen or hair grease?

which is better olive oil nourishing sheen spray or hair grease for african-american hair. some say oil sheen will dry the hair out but some hair grease will make your hair sticky. which one do you think is better? i think the oil sheen is better because to me it gives shine and moisture to the hair. what do u think

Oil sheen or hair grease?

Neither should be used everyday. Pink moisturizer or any type of moisturizer is good to use for everyday shiness

Oil sheen or hair grease?

spray is better

Hair help again!?!? Soft Curls!?

Can someone please help me! If you're a hair expert or just someone who might happen to know! How do i get soft curls/waves like in the following pictures?? I'm biracial, but my hair is straight right now (so it's more like relaxed African American hair). Everytime I try to curl my hair with a curling iron, it NEVER CURLS OR STAYS!! Should I try hot rollers? Someone please help!

Hair help again!?!? Soft Curls!?

I am not a professional stylist, but I do my hair and my two daughters. My oldest daughter has a hair texture similar to yours - curly when wet, but can be straightened with a flat iron. The style you have in your pictures is how she loves to wear her hair. Here is what I do to help her get it:

The first thing is you need to have hair that length or a little shorter - less than shoulder length is going to be hard because it will curl, more than wave.

Second, usually when I am pressing out her hair with the flat iron, I just turn it a half turn once or twice as it goes down. Use light curling wax as you do it.

Third, if she wants to wear it straight and then wear it wavy. The second day after she has it straight, I do thin to medium size sections and use a light dab of curling wax. Use a 1 1/2" curling iron and wrap it around that. Let it cool before you comb it out so the curl will stay.

This should help you, but it will take practice. Trying to get your hair that type of wave is a little hard, but it can be done. Good luck. :)

Hair help again!?!? Soft Curls!?

Try using big rollers, they are hard to do yourself but you will get the same effect. Just try not to blow dry too much. Put the curlers in when your hair it almost dry and spray it a bit and then use the blow drier.

Hair help again!?!? Soft Curls!?

I am not sure this will work with your hair type but have you tried the "twist pink bendable skinny rollers?" They have pink plastic all over a bendable wire - you can twist them in different directions and they do put a nice wave in, You say you have tried a curling iron, but have you used a product designed to style your hair to get the right amount of curl? Check with a

local hair stylist at a salon for a product that will make the difference - or sometime a change in a shampoo with styling ingredients may work.....good luck? p.s. love the pictures, oh to have all that long hair...maybe it is extensions?? :0)

Also, try big rollers, then put them in before going into shower, the steam maybe enough to cause your hair to be full when you take them out...when you take them out do it gently and when they are all out bend over and shake your head....flip your head back and add with your hands a light touch of

mousse for the hair - it should help to hold the wave you want.

Good luck!

Hair help again!?!? Soft Curls!?

if you have relaxed your hair it will be difficult to curl it with an iron. try a thermal active styling product. it protects from heat and aids in staying power. if you haven't relaxed your hair try it anyway. use a 1 1/2" or larger barrel iron to achieve that curl.

I need some hair help! Please help me!?

I am white and my daughter is black.(mixed) She is 4 and her hair is out of control because I dont know how to take care of it. She is a very beautiful little girl but with her hair the way it is, she needs me to make her hair look better. Could someone give me some tips that I could do to tame her hair?

Also I was wondering If there was a website or something I could go to, to look up haircuts and styles for african american hair. I was thinking about getting her hair cut to start over and I need some pictures to look at. Would really appreciate it!

I need some hair help! Please help me!?

I'm black mixed, and I have a daughter who is 3 and her father is white. She has mid-back length hair that is all over the place when she wakes up in the morning. Its a curly grade, not frizzy or "nappy" but it is still kind of... lol! What I do is use a wide tooth comb and a little hair lotion like BB, its a really good brand for little kids, and a bit of spray on detangler like Just For Me. First I spray on the detangler, then comb from the ends of her hair and work my way through until all of the tangles are out. After that I put in the hair lotion and she has perfect spirials that need no more styling unless I choose to put her hair in a ponytail or two french braids. Mixed race hair isn't all that much of a matter, its only becomes an obstacle if you see it as one. Also, don't wash her hair everyday, that only incerases the dryness, if you rinse it and condition it every other night that should suffice.

I need some hair help! Please help me!?

your best bet might be to go to a professional hair salon that specializes in black hair care... its hard to say without seeing your daughters actual hair (how kinky or curly it is etc), but if they see it they can recommend products that would work for her, or styles that you can do at home. good luck!

I need some hair help! Please help me!?

At Wal Mart there is an "ethnic" i.e. black hair section. Also some of my friends use some coconut oil stuff.

I need some hair help! Please help me!?

Try conditioner and a little trim and if that isn't enough you can purchase stuff that is good at control that texture hair. Call a salon that works with that type of hair. Go to a supply store and ask what products you can use. Good Luck.

I need some hair help! Please help me!?

Are there any beauticians in your area that do african/american hair? I had a friend who has mixed kids-she would go to Wal-Mart to get some kind of gel or something to put in their hair after she washed their hair. I'm sorry I don't know exactly what product she used.

I need some hair help! Please help me!?

Im mixed race too but make sure you comb her hair! even though its painful for her believe me i would know comb it! and never leave it dry get pomades and creams to bring out the curls

%26amp; dont go to a normal hairdresser got to a black hairdressers because they have more of idea of what to do

are you with her dad still? cos if you are ask the family about hair and what to do etc

x

I need some hair help! Please help me!?

I think it's best to go to bring her to a salon. There may be some treatment that can be done to tame her hair :)

I need some hair help! Please help me!?

You could brid it in tight braids to tame it or put it in a tight pony tail just to pull it back. look up braiding because there is a ton of stuff that you could do to it.

Hair EMERGENCY_please please helpp?

my hair is totally unruly. i cant control it! the only way i can straighten it is at a salon. bit i recently moved adn there are no salons and hours length away !! i need my hair straightened and i have african american hair. so regualar staightened works. I dont have a hot comb. what should i do?? i dont want any wise *** remarks either that involve a wig , shaving my hair or anything else like that so..ya lol thx

Hair EMERGENCY_please please helpp?

do these three steps:

1- immediately after shower, use a polishing serum (Citri-shine/Walmart) a blob about the size of a nickel, massage in, use wide-tooth pick to comb through, and wrap hair with towel. It feels like lube, so don't use too much. Do not brush wet hair!!!!

--do your makeup stuff while it sits in your hair under the towel.

2- spritz on ProShine oil or Citri-shine (Walmart) use sparingly (no more than 3 sprays) comb with a wide-tooth pick, then finer tooth comb carefully as not to break tangled hair. This spreads it more evenly.

3- Pin up top of head section, and sides with three mini-aligator clips, leave lower layer down, dry around big round brush (3" diameter) with soft bristles using high heat, turning the brush frequently, and slowly pulling away from the root, and holding the hairdryer close to your hairbrush pointing down (using a concentrator helps), as not to frizz it up. Keep turning the brush to smooth it as it drys.

This won't take long to do each section, and will keep it smoother and softer until you can get a hold of a ceramic straightener. When you do, make that the finishing step. Or, you can finish by pulling a curling iron through without stopping, just as long as you are careful not to rip hairs out.

If you have thick hair, spritx 1-2 shots of the PureShine oil when your hair is all dry, to give it shine. If you have fine hair, don't put any more products in it or it will look greasy and unwashed.

Play with the amounts of products to find out what works best for you. I straighten almost daily, and I have figured out the hair has "memory" of how it has been dryed, and if you dry it fast and high heat, it stays straight longer. You will be turning your hairdryer on an off a few times for about 20-30 seconds per section (if your hair is fine) and 30-40 for thick hair.

Never just dry your hair with the dryer on the entire time, waving it around, and constantly brushing it straight. This is where the most damage occurs. Hair is easily broken when wet, and you will fry the cuticle with constant air blowing on it. Do it in sections, with minimal blowdryer action.

Hair EMERGENCY_please please helpp?

maybe a perm will help

Hair EMERGENCY_please please helpp?

If it's completely awful, throw it in a clip or ponytail. Can you run to the drugstore and get some conditioner and hair gel? If you can't, put a little lotion in your hair, not too much so its greasy- just enough to contain it. It's a secret some people swear by!

Hair EMERGENCY_please please helpp?

I think you should leave it of get a stritener!!!!!!

Hair EMERGENCY_please please helpp?

okay. go buy a ceramic hair straightener. before that but on mousse or hair spray. dont buy the metal straightener they burn your hair.

Hair EMERGENCY_please please helpp?

AFTER THE SHOWER JSUT PUT SOME CURLING MOUSE IN IT OR SOMETHING. ITLL BRING OUT YOUR HAIRS SHAPE AND BOUNCE, you dont need to damage it every day by straightening it

Hair EMERGENCY_please please helpp?

get a hair relaxer or you can use a home perm and just straighten it instead of curling it. You can also use an actual iron. Thats what they used to do back in the day before flat irons.

Hair EMERGENCY_please please helpp?

try and see if there is a walmart or any beauty shop nearby, and buy yourself a straightener. there are also home perm kits to make your hair straight, but it may not stay for long if your hair is extremely coarse..i think the best option is a good, medium-priced straightener like remington or conair. if you have the money, try and find a chi straightener..they work great!

Hair EMERGENCY_please please helpp?

I KNOW THIS MIGHT NOT BE A BIG HELP BUT IT'S ALL I GOT.

KK SO I HAVE TUFF HAIR TO AND IT IS HARD TO STRAIGHTEN AND WHAT I DO IS I USE A STRAIGHTNER THAT IS LIKE A CURLING IRON TO AND IS 2 INCHES WIDE AND I THINK IT WORKS PRETTY WELLTHE BRAND IS GEMAR AND IT IS PRETTY EXSPENSIVE ABOUT 40-60 DOLLARS AND IS VERY RARE MOST PPL HAVN'T HEARD OF IT. I HOPE I WAS A HELP!

Hair EMERGENCY_please please helpp?

Buy one of those ceramic flat irons... I have unruly curly hair too and it works great! The one they sell on tv on QVC is fan freeking tastic.. It works with steam and it is really wonderful!

Hair EMERGENCY_please please helpp?

maybe if i were u i would go get my hair done at the beuty colleg because they do it great and also thier cheaper.

Hair EMERGENCY_please please helpp?

I used to use an actual iron to straighten my hair. My hair is really thick and used to take too long and was too hard to straighten. This works excellent and better than a hair straightener.

If you sit at the end of your bed and put all your hair on top of the bed and ask someone to split your haid into 3 or 4 sections, get them to brush your hair along the bed and run the iron along straight after, and continue. try and roll your head around aswell, so they can get the sides done too and see if you can sit up a little so the roots can be done a bit easier. Hope these instructions make sense.

http://images.jupiterimages.com/common/d... ...except shorter... just grow your hair out long, the curls will get loger and weighted down. if you hair is short now, they can spring up and give you an afro. even shoulder lenght hair. it also depends on how thick your hair is. if it's really thick like the people in this web page:

Do can i get wavy or scrunch hair, I'm African American.?

well i have thick hair and quite soft and smooth but frizzes easily when wet and easily becomes tangled. i usually have my hair in a tight bun, straight or curly.

i just want anything other than my usually with little or no heat including water.

My is naturally curly but i have had a perm.

Any help?

Do can i get wavy or scrunch hair, I'm African American.?

I think you make have to wait until the perm grows out. My hair is naturally frizzy and when i have had a perm or coloured it, then it is always much worse. I think that a good cut is always best and use a shampoo that has de-fuzz control. Conditioner works but can make your hair look greasy and limp.

Do can i get wavy or scrunch hair, I'm African American.?

try wat suits u best..i'd go with the scrunch hair

Do can i get wavy or scrunch hair, I'm African American.?

I'm not of african-american descent, but I use mousse/styling foam on (damp) hair and a diffuser attachment on my hairdryer to get that scrunched look. That can help accentuate the wave while not blowing the hair all around and helps me to keep the frizzing to a minimum (my hair is not curly per se, but wavy :) I twist small sections of my hair while drying to make little spirals though please be careful not to keep the dryer on any section too long or one may burn oneself.

Pressing hair???

i heard that using hot comb/pressing hair can make thick hair more manageable and is better than hair straightner for african american hair. What do you actually do when you press hair and what products should be used. Someone please give instructions/explanation

Pressing hair???

The best thing to do, is to get the good ceramic flat iron from Sally's (no Wal-Mart Flat iron). Jilbere' is a good brand to use. Get a heat protector cream, and apply to your dry hair. Then use flat iron....yes...it works miracles.

After awhile, it will break your hair off, if you do it every day.....I eventually just corn row braided her hair, and put in her extensions myself. Her hair grows better that way, then the human hair extensions are so much easier, and better for her hair.

Pressing hair???

i think that is good advice for someone who is biracial. if you are black a hot comb is better gold and hot is really good. you apply pressing creme to the hair and grese to the scalp. then you just run the comb through the hair a few times then some people flat iron it for extra straighness. Report It

Pressing hair???

i wrap it every night since i get it done every two weeks the 2nd week around i grease it with mimoso honey by carols daughters which makes it slick n' shiny. Report It

Pressing hair???

Well, i am 17 years old, african american, with REALLY thick and long hair and i have never gotten a perm. . . i always get my hair pressed. it takes up more time because you cant get it wet or use any wet products. . . but when i get my hair pressed i use 4 way shampoo and grease, but i use protein pan-v- shampoo for women of color. . . but you also have to know someone who knows how to press and not someone who just wants to play in your hair

Pressing hair???

if you do that alot you will burn you hair and damage it so you can do it every few weeks but not to much..

Is wetting my hair [ My hair: Natural, curly african-american texture, and short] bad for my scalp/h

Every day I wet my hair in the morning, and put in some leave in conditioner so it can be curly. Now I am starting to get an irritated scalp and very bad dandruff. It seems as though my scalp is never dry. Any help or suggestions are very much appreciated. Thanks!

Is wetting my hair [ My hair: Natural, curly african-american texture, and short] bad for my scalp/hair?

i am natural also but I keep my hair braided. I use leave in conditioner but usually every few days. It is fine to wet your hair, I use a spray bottle with distilled water and a couple drops of tea tree oil. You probably just have build up from the leave in and not dandruff.

Is wetting my hair [ My hair: Natural, curly african-american texture, and short] bad for my scalp/hair?

dont leave in conditionar and get some head and shoulders or selsum blue also get some grease up in your head lol

u shouldnt do that alot or make sure u oil ur scalp

Is wetting my hair [ My hair: Natural, curly african-american texture, and short] bad for my scalp/hair?

Unfortunately the conditioner is making you flake. Go to a Sally Beauty Supply Store and they have a wonderful Ethnic section. Look for a good scalp oil. Using this alone should get rid of the flaking. Don't even bother with a dandruff shampoo as you really don't have dandruff....you just have dry conditioner!

Is wetting my hair [ My hair: Natural, curly african-american texture, and short] bad for my scalp/hair?

hey babe,avoid wetting your hair everyday.instead just use a leave-in conditioner like infusium(it more liquid than solid).use a tea tree shampoo twice a month.also try using head and shoulders dandruff shampoo.keep up the natural texture

Is wetting my hair [ My hair: Natural, curly african-american texture, and short] bad for my scalp/hair?

african american hair is not met to be wet for a long period of time. thats why we are always saying please dont wait my hair. sorry sweetie but you cannot be wetting your hair everyday theres dandruff now but your hair is going to start falling out soon.

Is wetting my hair [ My hair: Natural, curly african-american texture, and short] bad for my scalp/hair?

You should just try a water based spray leave in conditioner instead of rinsing your hair in the shower. Tea tree oil(100% natural tea tree oil that is) is great for an itchy/flaky scalp.

If your rinsing and your scalp is not dry than it may just be the weather, be sure after you shower/rinse to coat the scalp with a light moisturizing oil, like sweet almond or coconut to prevent the dryness.

Is wetting my hair [ My hair: Natural, curly african-american texture, and short] bad for my scalp/hair?

I'm natural too. I don't like leave in conditioner so much so after i wet my hair (normally every three days) I let it dry a bit and the put oil on my hair. If you want it to get really cuurly try Miss Jessie or Carol's daughters products. Instead of wetting your hair in the shower use a spray bottle on your hair. Hope that has been a lil help.

Is wetting my hair [ My hair: Natural, curly african-american texture, and short] bad for my scalp/hair?

Oil your scalp

Use the leave in conditioner

and use a silicon based product over the leave in conditioner and oil sheen as a finisher

I wore my hair natural for years. The scalp irration occurs because the water does dry it out. So wet it oil your scalp. You can use a good hair grease or a jojoba, olive, or a natrual oil (like Hot Six Oil).

Is wetting my hair [ My hair: Natural, curly african-american texture, and short] bad for my scalp/hair?

Girl I'm natural too! When my hair was super short i was wetting it everyday. I don't like most leave in conditoner for my hair it seems to do more harm than good. If you're set on using it try the Cantu shea hair repair it comes in a 16oz. Or use Africa's best herbal oil both keep my hair soft and curls in check

Is wetting my hair [ My hair: Natural, curly african-american texture, and short] bad for my scalp/hair?

Hi there,

I don't think your problem is necessarily that you're wetting your scalp everyday. I think there is a problem with your process.

What you should be doing daily is conditioner-washing. Meaning that you use conditioner to cleanse your hair. (Not just wetting your hair and adding more leave-in which is probably causing the build-up and irritated scalp) Right now, your scalp is not getting clean. Here is a process that should work for you:

Use a very light conditioner to cleanse your hair daily. (Suave Naturals are good and cheap)

First, you'll completely rinse your hair with the shower head.

Then apply the leave-in conditioner as if it were shampoo - to your length and roots.

Take your hands and massage it in as if you're cleansing your hair (as if it were shampoo).

Comb your hair through to detangle and bring out the curl.

Pin your hair up while you bathe.

Finish bathing and rinse your hair - rinse well but you don't have to over-rinse.

Now, get out of the shower and apply your leave-in (creamy to add weight) and your styling product.

To start fresh:

Shampoo your hair with a moisturizing conditioner. As well, you should still shampoo your hair maybe once a week or every other week. This will get rid of any product build-up and give you a chance to deep condition.

I hope that helps!

Can I use Dark n Lovely hair color on Caucasian hair?

I have very dark brown hair and saw that Dark n Lovely hair color is supposed to work well on dark hair. I wasn't sure if there is anything different about it, being marketed for African American hair, due to differences in hair texture or whatever. I have colored my hair before but am generally disappointed by the results because color barely shows up on my dark brown hair. I liked that Dark n Lovely is specifically for dark hair but wanted to make sure it's safe to use on Caucasian hair first. Thanks!

Can I use Dark n Lovely hair color on Caucasian hair?

Yes, white and sticky also.

Clearly getting an intelligent, informed answer on Yahoo is not going to happen. Report It

Can I use Dark n Lovely hair color on Caucasian hair?

I would really seek the advice of a stylist before coloring your hair permanently. Because your hair is dark, they may suggest treating your hair 1st, such as lifting it's natural color, and then applying the permanent color of your choice.

As an African American, I wanted to sport honey colored tresses of Beyonce and Mary J. Blige about three years ago, and this could not have been done safely without the skills of a professional.

Good Luck!

Force your hair to go on exercise. Put your hair on a strict diet and let them use the treadmill. Your hair will be healthy after 1 months.

I have cury hair and i hate it!it is frizzy and ugly! i want it to look heathy wut can i do without burning it

i would use good leave in conditioner

or John Frieda Gloss Serum Extra Strength it works good just put it on after you shower and your hair still damp

if your hair is really really dry dont be afraid to use more than enough

I have cury hair and i hate it!it is frizzy and ugly! i want it to look heathy wut can i do without burning it

Most importantly STOP STRAIGHTENING IT. I know, nobody likes their hair the way it is, but trying to make it be something it's not is just going to make it less and less healthy. Use lots of conditioner and try just letting it do what it wants.

Air-dry instead of blow-dry. Go to a salon and ask for a relaxer (only if you don't dye your hair though, the chemicals don't get along well).

I have cury hair and i hate it!it is frizzy and ugly! i want it to look heathy wut can i do without burning it

Hi there well i can certainly relate to your question as I too have very naturally curly and frizzy hair and on top of that it,s thick, I'm always told how lucky I am as I'm sure you are too . Well Ive done the straightening thing and realized quickly that if I still wanted hair I wouldn't be able to keep doing it. but I have fairly long hair and after conditioning and lightly towel drying I apply a small amount of conditioner again and comb through and leave it in plus I apply an anti frizz serum I use Paten's it works the best and is affordable . or you can always look into that salon straightening which really turns out well and lasts up to six months but is very costly , hope this helps you it works for me but with the curls , on the bright side I'm told my curls attracts the guys, good luck let me know if you try it and what you think.

I have cury hair and i hate it!it is frizzy and ugly! i want it to look heathy wut can i do without burning it

could you put a little baby oil in your hair? would that help when its wet and then twist the curls slightly to define them and then air dry your hair

I have cury hair and i hate it!it is frizzy and ugly! i want it to look heathy wut can i do without burning it

I found some hair stuff that works really good on my daughters hair it called "just straight" by miss claroil its about $4.00 for the shampoo and $3.40 for the conditioner

in the green bottle. Or Lock it up baby. Dreds. Dreds are the best thing for tight hair. It will lock up in 6 months. Just start off with the twist and keep putting that lock jel on it. My hair is down pass my neck because I locked it up. Call me on my cell and I will show you my hair and I will do yours.2407706347.No Charge!!!

I have cury hair and i hate it!it is frizzy and ugly! i want it to look heathy wut can i do without burning it

first, quit trying to fight with nature. if you straighten your hair daily, it will respond by frizzing and drying out. if you treat it kindly, condition it, moisturize it, and stop torturing it with a straightener, it might surprise you by being beautiful. :)

you can also have it professionally "permanently" straightened with the Japanese method in a salon - expensive, lasts about 6 mo. and then you'll need root touchups.

HI,

REGARDS

I have cury hair and i hate it!it is frizzy and ugly! i want it to look heathy wut can i do without burning it

Get a trim for those damaged ends. Then because you like to straighten be sure to condition, even hot oil every other week or so. Always use a heat protection before applying any heat even blow drying. This stuff can be a little too oily so apply it in sections and use it sparingly. When you are finished spray lightly with an oil sheen spray.

I have cury hair and i hate it!it is frizzy and ugly! i want it to look heathy wut can i do without burning it

Shave it all off, start over.

I have cury hair and i hate it!it is frizzy and ugly! i want it to look heathy wut can i do without burning it

stop straightening it so much its not healthy

I have cury hair and i hate it!it is frizzy and ugly! i want it to look heathy wut can i do without burning it

i would go to a hair salon and get it deep conditioned. let me nurse your hair back to health, believe me, i've gone through the same thing, make sure you keep your hair greased and washed, especially if you're using something that has alcohol in it, also try Liv, or Perfect Results products, they work good too

I have cury hair and i hate it!it is frizzy and ugly! i want it to look heathy wut can i do without burning it

Permanently straighten it at a hair salon. It will stay straight for at least 6 months. If you straighten your hair everyday, it will fry and stat breaking off. You will lose a lot of hair this way. Hair professionals can straighten your hair without burning it, but there's nothing you can do for your hair. it's something only they can do.

I have cury hair and i hate it!it is frizzy and ugly! i want it to look heathy wut can i do without burning it

Girl i got the same type of hair as u and mine is black and really curly and i hate it as much as u do. but u have to admit it do be lookin really pretty sometimes. so holla at ya girl when u find the right answer.

Email me: precious_kiyah94@yahoo.com

I have cury hair and i hate it!it is frizzy and ugly! i want it to look heathy wut can i do without burning it

I think it is best to get it professionally straightened. It is supposed to last for a while and will do less damage than what it sounds like you are doing. You should also try rubbing coconut oil in your hair. It is very good for your hair and will help get it back in shape. You can find it in many Indian (Asian) stores. I like to do it the night before I am going to wash my hair and sleep with it (put a towel or something on your pillowcase).

I have cury hair and i hate it!it is frizzy and ugly! i want it to look heathy wut can i do without burning it

trim it, and use really rich and creamy shampoos and conditioners. Use Herbal Essenses Dangerously Straight shampoo and conditioner, they work great!

Good luck!!

My hair is hard???

I use silk elements shampoo and conditioner (the conditioner has mineral oil in it)

And well even before I was using that my hair has been so hard. like when the little hairs come out i can feel them and they are so hard. not hard like gel but just hard. They aren't soft or anything they are hard!

Also wehn i shake my head the hair doesnt sway, and come back down, sometimes it just goes up and doesnt go back down it just stays there. until i gte a brush and brush it back down. and its probaly because my hair is so hard, or w/e.

Anything to help me and i dont wear gel btw. and i have african american hair also.

I buy all my things from sally's beauty supply store and walmart btw, and prices arent really a problem

My hair is hard???

if u use conditioner it will make it good

My hair is hard???

I'd say change shampoo and conditioner. Something from Dove maybe?

My hair is hard???

Well, African American hair tends to be "hard" as you described it...you could try a milk rinse home remedy, beaucse milk is a hair softener. You could also put in a little honey into the mix, that is amazing for softness.

A product you might want to use is Garnier Fructies Sleek %26amp; Shine Anti-Humidity Smooting Milk. First time I dried it, it made my hair SWOOOOO soft!

I hope this help!

Stay gorgeous,

faboox3

My hair is hard???

Maybe its your water? When the water in showers is hard, it has high mineral content. To test, try the lather test. In soft water, soap lathers very easily, but in hard water it doesnt. Hard water leaves hair rougher and hard to untangle. You should get your water tested just in case. If this is not the problem, i suggest buying a weekly deep conditioning treatment, or going to the salon and getting a hot oil treatment every month.

good luck!

My hair is hard???

So you have black girl hair? well if you do like me I would try that new stuff called Garnier Fructis. It comes in shampoo, conditioner,gel,hair spray,etc. I use it for my hair and it is awsome.It makes my hair feel totally soft

My hair is hard???

try baby oil or vasiline im telling u it works sounds wierd but works after you take a bath blow dry it it should work and if nothing works go to super cuts or something and have them feel your hair and explain your problem to them

My hair is similar to yours. Dark and Lovely has a line for natural hair, called Naturally. I use the honey kissed hair dress. I hope this works for you!

Curly Caribbean Hair Best Moisturizer PLEASE READ IN FULL BEFORE YOU ANSWER?

Hmmm.. Pink Oil doesn't work? As in Motions? It works for me.. If that's what you're saying doesn't work, I'm sorry. =/

I know you said you have African Amercian hair, but I don't use products especially for African Americans, although it may because I'm mixed. I do use Motions Moisturizer though.

What I suggest is:

Garnier Fructis - I read that they came out with a moisturizing collection. Its yellow; look for the creme.

Tresseme - They also have a moisturizing collection, so look for any cremes or "milks".

Sunsilk - They have moisturizing creme's, but I'm not sure what color it is. Just look for the one that says "Hydrating".

I recomend these because I use these for my curls %26amp; they work well, so I'm sure their mousturizing collection will too.

I said look for creme's because you said you're just looking for moisturizers right? If you're looking for shampoo %26amp; conditoner, you can also find those in the listed brands.

I heard that Pantene for "women of color" works well for some %26amp; not for others. When I used their conditioner for hydrating curls, it didn't not work, but it wasn't the best either. Maybe it might work for you?

I hope this helps %26amp; good luck!

Hair curl question?

Whats up guys, I got a question I just texturized my hair and it looks good, it looks the best when its wet. I have african american hair and im also a male what is the best type of product I can use to achieve the look of my hair wet? Ive used Care free curl by soft sheen but it does not exactly do anything. I would appreciate it if someone can tell me what type of products to buy to get that wet look? And what I can also do to maintain my texture hair?

Thanks a lot guys ill appreciate all answers

Hair curl question?

have you tried using hairgel?

Hair curl question?

i also have really curly hair but i am not black anyways there is this one type of product you can put on your hair its like gel in a way this is it: Pomade (also called pomatum) is a greasy or waxy substance that is used to style hair. Pomade makes hair look slick and shiny. Unlike hair spray and hair gel, pomade does not dry and often takes several washes to remove - a special shampoo, though, may be used. Other de-greasers include olive oil and Coca-Cola. Most pomades contain petroleum jelly (and in fact petroleum jelly can be used alone as a pomade) and mineral oil, and many also contain some sort of wax. They may also contain perfume and coloring agents. A plethora of pomades are still in production today and vary in factors such as weight, shine and scent. The stiffest will have a higher proportion of beeswax while the lightest may have increased oils.

Any Beauticians, Hair stylists and African-American females out there?

What treatment would you recommend for severely damaged hair? My beautician told me today that my 14 year old daughter's hair is going through severe breakage; what can we do to treat it at home without having to go to the salon every week for the next couple of months? We are desparate since she does not want to cut her hair.

Any Beauticians, Hair stylists and African-American females out there?

Mayo!! Don't laugh, I"m serious. It's a great conditioner. Just put it on after shampooing, let it stay on the hair for 30-45 minutes w/ a plastic bag covering it, apply light heat w/ a blow dryer.. Than shampoo and condition as normal.

Even tho your daughter does not want to cut her hair, split ends are going to happen, breakage is going to happen, it's best to get a TRIM at least every 6-8 weeks. Getting a trim helps the hair grow rather than prohibiting it.

Good luck!!

Any Beauticians, Hair stylists and African-American females out there?

deep conditioners, Vo5 Hot oil treatment is great too.

u might want to try Henna- my mom uses it and it does her hair wonders. she mixes it with egg, avacado, and any other natural ingredients said to be good for the hair. You can buy Henna for hair in any Indian or Pakastani shop. It also naturally colors the hair too! If you leave it on for 24 hours and wash it out its really good. but if you don't want to try that...

i think its all about keeping the hair clean, moisturized and not putting too much stress or pressure on it. avoid chemicals, like relaxers/perms. keep it natural for best results, if she wants her hair straight use a chi or ceramic iron, but just leaving the hair alone is whats best.

if my hair were damaged i would just cut the damages ends and regrow the hair b/c damaged hair just looks unhealthy.

Any Beauticians, Hair stylists and African-American females out there?

u can also try Pantene Pro-V for women of color.Get the whole line of products.I guarantee you will see a big difference in her hair.And you must trim the dead ends or the hair will not grow.Also you can use a treatment called placenta.You can find it in any beauty supply store.

Any Beauticians, Hair stylists and African-American females out there?

Breakage can be caused by many different reasons, from poor diet, vitamin deficiancy, and certain hair styles even, among many other things. So there are many things that can be done, at home, depending on what the reasoning behind the breakage.

Make sure that she is eating a well balanced diet with a large variety of fruits %26amp; vegetables, lean protiens, and whole grains. Have her take multi-vitamins on a daily basis, because no matter how well a person eats, the nutrients in foods aren't nearly what they used to be "back in the day".

Get a good nourishing shampoo %26amp; conditioner, something for dry damaged hair. While salon exclusive brands are very good, it's not always necessary to spend that kind of money, there are many very good products availiable in the stores at reasonable prices. And at least once a week, use a deep conditioning treatment, or hot oil treatment. Very dry hair is more suseptible to breakage.

Have her avoid wearing her hair tied up, especially in the same place, as often as possible. Avoid constant wearing of extensions, no matter how applied because these add extra stress to the hair and scalp.

She may not want to cut her hair, but until her hair is back to a healthy status, she should go in about every 3 weeks for a small trim. Once it is back to healthy, she should go in at least every 6-8 weeks for a good trim and continue avoiding styles that can cause excessive damage.

Any Beauticians, Hair stylists and African-American females out there?

In my shop we sell alot of redkin deep fuel, its a little blue box with 6 tubes in it. You use 1 tube a week . You will be amazed after the first one, also trim not cut, at least every 6 weeks. The faster you get that bad hair off the better. Also maybe try Biolodge Hydrating shampoo and Conditioning Balm daily or every other day its good in between treatments.The redkin costs approx. 30.00 it works and still cheaper than a weekly trip to the salon.

Any Beauticians, Hair stylists and African-American females out there?

try a protein hair treatment that is good for breakage. also have you daughter eat foods that have vitamin d, protein (etc) that are good for hair breakage. also do not blow dry her hair often b/c that leads to breakage. put rollers instead and dry it under a hair dryer. also limit using curling/straightening irons cause this too damage hair. if your daughter has a perm, then maybe the type of perm may cause this (esp. if it has lye in it). also get rid of split ends about every 2-3 months is helpful. make sure beautician knows how to cut well and not cut off too much.

Any Beauticians, Hair stylists and African-American females out there?

Keep the hair deep conditioned. I love Queen Helen's product and it is not expensive at all. Also make sure she wraps her hair every night and puts a silk scarf over it. She also wants to keep some type of oil on her hair as well. Also look for an hairstyle that does not require her to put any bands in her hair.

When I damaged my hair I kept it the wrap hair style and it snapped back into shape after a while. You must know there is no saving the really damaged hair and even she does not cut it it will break off.

Black Hair care products?

Hello I'm trying to find a hair product that good for African American Hair. Something thats not harsh on my head, Or something that does not have Alcohol in it. I'm trying to grow my hair. It do not have to be black hair care products. because I have a friend that uses Other hair products like John Freida, Or Nexus and those products actually help her hair grow. I tried Dr. Miracle and I like it. It's just hard for me to find that product while im overseas. Can someone help Any Suggestions.

Black Hair care products?

I pretty much pass on the same info to as many Black women as I can; I don't know where you live, how much money you have to spend, or what texture hair you have, but I've found the more natural the ingredients the better it is for your hair. Watch out for this stuff in your store bought products

sodium hydroxide (lye), calcium hydroxide, lauryl sulfates, parrafin, mineral oil, petrol oil (petroleum, petrolatum, and others), propylene glycol, sorbitol, DEAs, MEAs, parabens, and oleths, these and many others have been linked to cancer, hair loss, and skin conditions of the scalp. Look it up online or at the library, and call or write the companies for their uses and health links. I did and you'll find any combination of them in most AA hair products. The closer to the bottom of the ingredient list, the better it is for you.

Curly hair issues!!!?

I just read that avocado makes the hair shiny and silky..

well I have curly hair and it gets frizzy and dry sometimes...

Anyone with ethnic, mixed kid hair, or african american hair ever try avocado on their hair? does it work well? I want my hair to be curly but without the dry frizz that comes after drying it- and i've tried a lot of products and it doesn't really work.

please give me some advice, or let me know what remedies work for you!

thanks.

Curly hair issues!!!?

i use the samy hair products. i have tried sooo many products and put baby oil but nothing seemed to work until i used the creme.

mabe it will work for you

good luck!

Curly hair issues!!!?

i use avocado and it seems to have a soothing sensation. If you heat it first in the microwave it feels even better. i don't know about curly hair, but it sure feels good when i mazter-bate

Curly hair issues!!!?

Have you ever tried Veg. Oil? It works really well to smooth out hair. I have thick curly hair and my hair dresser always told me to use Veg Oil to tone it down a little, because it is thick. I have never heard of avocado for hair before. I wonder if it really works.

Curly hair issues!!!?

First wash your hair with conditioner and shampoo both same amount.Next don't dry your hair instead brush your hair and then straiten it with a straiting iron for your hair.Eat heathy foods too no junk foods.Do this every day and your hair would be strait and silky.GOOD LUCK!!

Curly hair issues!!!?

i know excatly what your talking about my hair is always dry avacado does the trick for me and so does lotions that have lots of moisturizer try moisture max or soft%26amp;beautiful botanical oil it really smooths out my mixed kid hair lol!

Curly hair issues!!!?

I have natural "cork screw " curls, and my hair also gets frizzy...The best thing I have found to use is ...Avon's "Advanced Techniques" Dry End Serum and/or Frizz Relief.....Also after I shampoo and condition my hair I use these products and a nice Frizz Relief Gel...I comb this through and let it dry naturally...I get shine and bounce and compliments...No one believes this is natural...They think I spent alot on a perm...The only set back is I have to wash my hair everyday, but I don't mind...Good luck!

Curly hair issues!!!?

As you can see I'm not African American but I think I can help you.

One of my friend is African American and she has similar problem like you, then I recommend to buy this type of shampoo that's only sold at any Asian hair salon supply shops either in Chinatowns, Korea towns, Little Tokyo or Little Saigon; that's because this product was made in some Asian countries. I forgot the brand name, anyway, if you're going to buy this shampoo product LOOK FOR THE WORDS ON THE LABEL SAID MOISTEURIZER, SILKY, ANTI-FRIZZY. It words for my friend. Hopefully, it will work for you.

Good luck!

Curly hair issues!!!?

i have done an avacado mix and works wonders on my hair so i'd definetly recommend giving it a try... what can it hurt? =)

An easier way would be to use Heat Protection spray made by Ion which can be found at any Sally Beauty Supply store.

Way to much heat and not enough conditioning.

With relaxed hair you should shampoo and deep condition with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner once a week. Alternate weekly between a protein and a moisturizing conditioner(until your hair gets healthy again), protein treatments help repair, strenghten, and fix damaged hair. Moisturizing conditioners add the needed moisture to black hair. Air dry your hair as often as possible to lock in moisture and prevent breakage, then apply a light scalp oil to your scalp and a moisturizer to your strands. On the days your not washing either spray with a light leave in conditioner every other day or apply a light moisturizer every day. Try not to comb so often also, that aids in the snapping of hair.

you should also wear your hair in protective styles, any style that needs little to no combing or brushing and keeps the ends of your hair off of your clothes.

You don't have to clip your ends every month if its healthy, that will just make your shorter, hair only grows about 1/2 an inch per month, and if you cut it every month then it results in negative hair growth. Your hair will be shoulder length forever. If you keep up with your hair and get it healthy you only have to cut it once every 3 months, sometimes i only cut twice a year, and my hair is just fine. Stay away from heat accessories as well; blow-dryers, flat-irons, and curlers really suck up the moisture in black hair which is natural already dry. Try not to do to many back to back protein treatments because that can actually break the hair off. Once your hair is healthy again you can cut down on the protein treatments to about once a month and just focus on doing more moisturizing deep conditioners.

shampoos:

:creme of nature ultra moisturizing

:neutrogena triple moisture shampoo

conditioner

:olive replenishing pak(protein conditioner)

:organic root stimulator hair mayonnaise(protein conditioner)

:neutrogena triple moisture deep recovery hair mask (moisture conditioner)

:nexxus humectress(moisturizing conditioner)

scalp oil:

:ginseng wonder 8 oil

:coconut oil

:sweet almond oil

The products I listed are what I use, find what works for you and stick with it. There will be a lot of trial and error.

try not using any kind of serums at any time if possible.it just makes yur hair oily.and also wen yu wash yur hair,dont use alot of shampoo or conditioner,just about the size of a small carrot for shampoo and rele spread it around as much as u can. ummmm...try to let yur hair dry naturally as much as u can unless u have a time limit or waash yhur hair the night be4 so it will be dry the next day.and it also doesnt matter how many parts u make in it just grab a hand full of hair and have a hair clip with u that u can use to tie up the strands that u have alredy flat ironed.

What is a good flatiron for thick african american chemically treated hair i dont mind spending alot

is the chi any good? what about the conair infiniti that i already have. I think that it does good i just want something better.

What is a good flatiron for thick african american chemically treated hair i dont mind spending alot of money?

The one and only original chi. They now come in cool colors like blue, green and purple. I have the blue and I must say it works very well!

What is a good flatiron for thick african american chemically treated hair i dont mind spending alot of money?

I'm a hairstylist so i've worked with several irons. Yes, the CHI is a good iron, but it is rather expensive. The best one that I prefer over the CHI is one that is sold in Walmart. It's a Revlon brand. There are a couple different styles, but the one I choose to work with is 1" wide, it's black, and has gold plates. DO make sure it says ceramic on it though. If I remember correctly, it's about 20 bucks, so if it breaks, there's no problem replacing it (take it back and trade it out..walmart takes everything back).

I straighten alot of black hair with it, and it's awesome. Be sure spray on some gloss/shine spray on each individual section before straightening it. It acts as a protector and makes ur hair so soft and shiny. This should keep your hair straight for several days...hope that helps out!!!

Looking for a healthy hair stylist in Fort Worth, TX. Someone who takes their time and assess my hai

I have shoulder length hair and am looking for a stylist who specializes in African-American hair. I need someone who takes their time to assess my hair and who can tell me what my hair needs. I can't stand the stylists who double and triple book though. I need someone in Fort Worth, male or female. I don't use a lot of heat on my hair and usually just wear a wrap do. I like my hair to be soft and full of body and shine. I like it really bone straight especially around the edges. Sometimes i like that wild, wind-blown look as well. Does anybody out there know of anyone. I would even be willing to travel to Dallas, Plano if it's worth it. I'm particular about my hair and know exactly what I want. Thanks to everyone in advance.

Hair care for African American ladies??

I saw a lady in the store that had a beautiful hair style. I asked her about it and she said she has a deep condition and a dubi (i know I spelled it wrong) wrap and stlye. What is a dubi wrap? I know it made her hair look like slik but I do not know what exactley what they do. I do not go to the salon very much but I am willing to go if they can make my hair look that silky! Thanks in advance!!!

Hair care for African American ladies??

a dubbie wrap is either roller setting your hair, then blow drying it out and wrapping it, or just straigtening the hair and wrapping it, its a cute style but can cause a lot of damage of used often. You can achieve the same look by roller setting your hair, then wrapping it. it'll have volume, depending on what you use on your hair, it should have shine and loose curls as well.

Hair care for African American ladies??

A dubie is when they blow dry your hair straight. and depending on where you are it could be just a roller set. But here in chicago its a blowdry style.

I have black peoples hair. How can I grow bangs faster?

I am African-American so my hair usually takes a lot longer to grow out and to be straightened. I really really REALLY want to grow out my bangs because the idiot of a hair stylist cut it about a centimeter above my eyebrow. What are the best methods in order to grow out my bangs? Remember, African American hair.

I have black peoples hair. How can I grow bangs faster?

There are certain herbal pills that are supposed to make your hair and nails grow faster... I don't know much about them but you can google it... other than that just iron your bangs out as much as you can and live with it under that centimeter grows back...

Getting bad haircuts suck =\

I have black peoples hair. How can I grow bangs faster?

i kno right? well right now u might just have 2 live with em im african american 2

I have black peoples hair. How can I grow bangs faster?

use your hair straightener each time to keep them straight and brush them daily to the sides this stimulates the hair follicle and the straightening helps look longer while they grow..

and get plenty of sleep..hair grows daily in our sleep..

so get an extra hour of sleep to help grow your hair faster...

I have black peoples hair. How can I grow bangs faster?

use a flat iron daily

I have black peoples hair. How can I grow bangs faster?

Mmmmmm...........I don't know? But that stuff...........never last!

I have black peoples hair. How can I grow bangs faster?

From 1 Sista 2 Another...

Hair tends to grow out faster during the Summer months, so you're in luck. If I were you I'd just get some mirco braids and leave them in for about a month in a half.

Lets say you didn't want to do the braids...keep your hair clean and well conditioned. Maintain a healthy diet eat more fruits and vegetables. Think hair nails and skin...you know your hair is healthy when your nails are strong and your skin is clear. Healthy hair grows faster!

I have black peoples hair. How can I grow bangs faster?

use a flat iron daily but not to often where it dries out then

condition it daily good luck

I have black peoples hair. How can I grow bangs faster?

My bangs grow faster than the rest of my hair, I think its cause I flat iron them more and comb them more,,,the just get more attention. Try trimming them a lil a month,,, hopefully it doesnt take that long but it'l work...hang in there

Help me with my crazy hair!?

I have natural arfican american hair so if it is hot pressed and gets wet it poofs up i have been pressing my hair every two weeks for the past three years and i want to stop because it is now barely shoulder length please i need websites that have pictures ao all natural african american hair styles and i need ways to make my hair stronger and longer such as eat this or that or do this or do not do that etc. please help me i want my hair to be right under my boobs black people and hair stylist help me i want longer hair

Help me with my crazy hair!?

OK, I'm a non-relaxed african american and all I have to say is visit www.nappturality.com. This site is dedicated to women of color who choose not to chemically alter our hair.

There are photo albums of thousands of REAL women with their natural hair styled in many different ways. There are tips and different products to help your natural hair grow the way it was intended...NATURAL!!!

Help me with my crazy hair!?

you need to take proper hair care

Help me with my crazy hair!?

Hey, I remember the days. Pressing is still much healthier than any chemical process but because of the heat, its also damaging. You may want to limit the pressing and begin nuturing and stimulating your scalp more. Using a good moisturizing shampoo and conditioner is always good. Carol's Daughter has some really nice products to use. Some of my friends swear by carrot oil or olive oil for growth and moisturizing. Most of my friends stick to cornrows, braids and just wearing it fro'd out to let it breathe and grow.

There is a hair magazine out . . . I can't remember the exact name but it has Braid and Natural in the Title. Hope that helps.

Help me with my crazy hair!?

Well it is no secret pressing hair is hard on the hair. The reason your hair is short is because it is breaking off due to the heat and pulling of the pressing.

Since you want it to grow take Folic acid or if you can find them prenatal vitamins. They both make the hair grow faster than normal but as hard as it is going to be try not to press as often. But if you just can't take your hair anymore and you have yo press it please use a moisturizing conditioner when you shampoo and a leave-in conditioner when drying the hair to protect it from the heat.

I hope this helped.

Help me with my crazy hair!?

Taking vitamins will help it grow. Everything you eat,drink etc comes out in your hair skin and nails. You need three things moisure, protien(to strengthen) and heat protection.

I recomend redken Smooth Down Line (Shampoo, Conditioner, Butter Treat(can be used daily for hair that really needs moisture) and Heat Glide(protects and works withthe heat to provide protection. This line is formulated to provide optimal moisture w/out greases and oils. Also Redken Extreme Deep Fuel once a week for 5 weeks to rebuild. If you blow dry prior to pressing-I suggest Redken Aligh 12. It will protect your hair from the heat of the dryer and pressing comb as well as help lock out humidity. Visit www.redken.com for more info on these products.

Help me with my crazy hair!?

Did you ever think about getting a relaxer? Don't get me wrong, I like the natural look but it is not for everybody. I personally have a relaxer and i think it manages better. I tried the natural thing and like you said, it poofs up when wet and it took too much maintenance. So, my advice would be to give the relaxer a try and worse case scenerio you can grow it out if you don't like it. Also, try buying some of those magazines like "black hair." I am sure they will have some good tips on how to make your hair grow and keep it healthy. Or, you can just search for black hair tips on the web.

Good Luck!

Help me with my crazy hair!?

OK the first thing i need to say is try is this

vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv...

http://www.pantene.com/en_US/relaxed_and...

OK what u are doing to your hair is frying it and braking it what i have to tell you is if you want that long manageable hair is to get a weave or extensions there wonder full they allow you to wear your hair any way you want. i am sorry to say but it is extremely hard to grow African American hair long because the fact that it dose brake easily. OK hears some dos and some webs sites i found

http://www.hairboutique.com/tips/African...

http://www.hairsisters.com/new/african_a...

dos

Always use a wide toothed comb, even for styling

Invest is a good, natural boar bristle brush

Tie your hair up at night. This prevents your hair from "catching" on the pillow case and breaking off. This also keeps the natural hair oils in your hair and not in the pillowcase.

Use less heat on your hair, especially if it is chemically treated or damaged

Never relax and color your own hair, have a professional do it

most of the stuff i have mentioned can be found here

good luck with ur hair ! hope i helped

Help me with my crazy hair!?

Hey, I'm half blk/puerto rican and my hair was curly. Then I used this relaxer called Bone Straight once a year. It took away all the curls and frizzes. Also, I was my hair every other day with Pantene and use the whole line of products. To strengthen hair and for it to grow try using something call Do-Grow. Also, eat alot of vegetables and drink plenty of water.

This is just a superstitious, but I only trim my ends on Good Friday or on a full-moon. Trust me this works, 'cause my hair was just above my shoulder and right now its in the middle of my back. Just try to stay away from stress and poor eating. Also, sometimes letting too many people doing your hair may result in stunting growth.

Help me with my crazy hair!?

Try a different way to wear ur hair. Have u considered individual braids or a perm. U could also get ur hair tracked.

Why does hair dye change the texture of your hair?

I have thick african american hair. I am getting gray and I dye every 4- 6 months (when it starts to look awful/washed out). Prior to dyeing (1 month or so because I forget that I should dye it again), my ends are frizzy and my hair is dry, dry, dry.

I then relax my hair with Optimum and dye it with soft %26amp; beautiful semi perm jet black dye (formulated to use after relaxing, but I wait one week). My hair texture turns smooth and more manageable. It is almost miraculous. I am a do it your selfer - I don't usually go to hairdresser unless special occassion.

I do not change my routine of blow dry and flat iron with ion spray heat protector (my hair is extremely thick) and then grease, pink oil, and oil sheen and then I wrap it with a silk cloth.

Why does hair dye change the texture of your hair?

I chemically relax my hair too. I have rough thick hair that is curly and impossible to manage. I can't comb my hair unless I put products in it.

When you relax your hair, the chemicals THIN out the hair strand. That is why it feels smoother.

Same for me, my hair feels more healthy when relaxed when in actuality, it is technically more damaged. hahaha.

Why does hair dye change the texture of your hair?

Well I am a beautician and this is what I think, First of all relaxing and dying your hair (especially) african american hair, drains the nutrients that the hair needs. You should almost never dye your hair and then put a relaxer in it. What you should start doing is going to a professional hairdresser.....Thats if you want. But if you cant afford it or just dont like going and sitting and waiting then do one at a time. Like do one two months apart. That should help solve your problem......good luck sweetie.......

Why does hair dye change the texture of your hair?

because of the chemicals

Why does hair dye change the texture of your hair?

the hair dye changes the texture of your hair because of all the chemicals your putting in to it.

Why does hair dye change the texture of your hair?

well i dye my hair black but my only problem is trying to make sure if have enough moisture in my hair. well is sounds like your doing way to much to ur hair first you have a relaxer that's 1 chemical damage already 2, Ur putting heat on it , and 3 ur dying so that's why ur hair is so dry ur taking all the moisture out and the products ur using is not going to work. first u need to deep condition it will help trust me.try garine futurist moisture works and then their deep conditioner sleek and shine. for lotion i highly recommend olive oil lotion. if u did this u will be thanking me later!

Shiny hair?

i color my hair alot but it's not in bad condition.

i usually use shampoo made for my hair color but at the moment ive just dyed it jet black.

i tried useing a searcj engine to find some color enhancing things (like blonde hair can use lemon juice and brown hair can use chesnut) but the only things i can find are for african american hair.

which won't work because i have very fine hair.

so does anyone have any tips?

or special shampoos?

oh and i can't use one of those shine treatments, the ones found in the hair dye section, because i JUST dyed it.

i mean really, its still wet.

Shiny hair?

well im mixed with asian and black so my hair is suwat fine, and all i do is grease my scalp, then put sum moisturizer in it, then put it in a ponytail, then put a scarf on my head to keep the moisture in my hair from rubbing on the pillow or something. then when i wake up and its dry i sratin it out with a bevelin iron.

Shiny hair?

you can use a semi permanent clear hair dye. it wont hurt your hair because there arent chemicals in it and it makes your hair SO shiny. id suggest waiting 3 days first without washing to let your hair color set in.

Shiny hair?

Pantene Midnight Expressions can be found at Walmart.

I recently died my hair a brown/black. I use Pantene Ice Shine shampoo, and Sleek %26amp; Smooth conditioner, works great!

For African American's: Do you use baby powder on your hair to cut down grease?

I am a caucasian female. I sometimes put baby powder in my hair if my hair looks greasy and i dont have time to wash it. The baby powder works to hide the grease, it absorbs the grease very well. I am not familiar with the natural properties of black people's hair. Therefore, I am curious if African American females (or males) do the same thing? I am not asking this question in any sort of racist or rude manner. I am asking this question for a research study. If you DO use baby powder, please let me know the specific ways you use it. Thank you!

For African American's: Do you use baby powder on your hair to cut down grease?

I've never really heard of an african american using baby powder to absorb some of the grease in their head. You said that you use it when you don't have time to wash it, that understandable because caucasian hair seems to gets greasier quicker than african american hair. With that being said I think its safe to say that our hair tends to be dryer, and putting baby powder in it, wouldn't let the natural oils nourish our hair. So i don't we would use it like that, well at least I don't.

For African American's: Do you use baby powder on your hair to cut down grease?

WOW.

I heard some people do but i dnt personally

my best friend just puts it on her hairline just to keep oil from her har out of her face. i dnt think n e 1 puts it in their "hair"

For African American's: Do you use baby powder on your hair to cut down grease?

well im not fully black and i dont have "black hair" but i do put baby powder in my hair only when i straighten it though. my hairs curly so i wash it everyday it doesnt get oily. but i only put it in my part not throughout my head.

For African American's: Do you use baby powder on your hair to cut down grease?

no we dont it's ok you dont sound rasist,i saw this done in a 17 mag for people who has greasy hair.black people dont get greasy hair are hair is mosty dry and that's waht we need is mositure

For African American's: Do you use baby powder on your hair to cut down grease?

Most African-Americans don't have greasy hair but, I'm sure some do. In any event, I haven't heard of anyone using baby powder to alleviate greasiness.

One thing I don't want to do here is get into generalizing. African-American's hair comes in many textures ranging from straight to tightly coiled and you can find many different textures on the same head. There are several genetic reasons for this. This may help with your research:

http://www.thetech.org/genetics/ask.php?...

Personally speaking, I only use baby powder on my body after I shower to help absorb perspiration when it's hot outside and one time I used it by my desk at work when I found a trail of ants. There's an ingredient in the powder that the ants can't digest so it kills them on the spot and you don't have to inhale bug spray.

What type of hair should I use when brading my hair? Is human hair good or synthetic.?

Keep in mind my hair is on the thick side and I dont want to spend too much money on hair. Plus which hair style is better the wet in wavy one the j-curl or straight hair ? Thanks 4 whomever can answer my question. PeAce

P.S. I'm half black and Indian but my hair is really thick and dry :( I would like to know which hair product is best for African American hair and are the salon products better than the cheaper ones?

What type of hair should I use when brading my hair? Is human hair good or synthetic.?

I like synthetic. Human IS EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LIKE 50 DOLLARS FOR A PACK OF HAIR. I go for the Yaki Perm (i believe thats the type) because its soft just like the human but not as expensive.

I LOVE THE STRAIGHT HAIR BUT FOR SCHOOL, I MIGHT GET THE WET AND WAVY ITS PRETTY ALSO!!!!!!!!

GIRL TRY PINK LOTION, ITS PERFECT!!!!!!!! and coconut oil and ginsing hair cream, it grows your hair out. I also use another product but its in french. Grow your hair like *that* lol When your hair is dont, spray with Olive Oil Spray but dont over do it..

What type of hair should I use when brading my hair? Is human hair good or synthetic.?

Let's see here. You want to get your hair braided(you have a thick grade of hair and it's dry..but we'll get to that in a bit!)but don't want to spend money. Unfortunately, honey, you're gonna shell out some dough. The best type of hair to use is human hair(try the Yakky Wavy) because it's very versatile.

Regardless of your hair type or style, you have to take care of it. Products by Organic Root Stimulator are excellent! You have to wash, condition, and maintain the proper nourishment to your scalp and hair. Our hair is prone to breakage, damage, and other hair faux pas.

Don't braid your hair too tight either because that will cause stress on your hair as well and cause damage. Don't use cheap hair or cheap products. Anything worth taking care of is worth kicking out a few extra bucks. Check out your local beauty supply store as well as a reputable salon. Good luck, dear!
