    Default What Do You Want to Know About Hair Care?

    Hi ladies whatever you would like to know or post about hair care, post it here. You can be a natural, curly head, straight, thick, thin, relaxed or dyed head. All about oils, Henna, co washing or whatever can be discussed here for girls who need information on better hair care. To start off I'm a natural curly girl. I have very spirally hair that feels very airy to the touch. I use a lot of all natural and organic products for my hair. So I normally try and stay away from sulfates and parabens. But I also tried the Miss Jessie's Super Sudsy Slip Shampoo and all I can say is wow! It doesn't strip ur hair and smells really good and leaves that soft moisturized feeling. There are other remedies I use to prevent lots of tangles and I'm a faithful user of castor oil, vitamin e, Shea butter and my favorite, coconut oil. And I still wear lots of wigs(lace) and extensions.

    How can you tell whether you have an overload of protein treatments or if your hair is just very dry?

    ETA: I have long bleached hair that's a 2b.

    If it's crunchy, dry, and breaks off very easily and you couldn't even begin to imagine being able to get a comb through it you have protein overload and need to moisturize.
    If the individual strands are wiry and rough you need protein.




    Here's my question/issue: no matter what I do... my hair is, and has always been porous as all hell. Like... an inch of virgin hair soaks up the amount of conditioner someone with shoulder length hair would normally use.
    As a result of this... my hair also takes a long time to dry.
    Like... I can shower before bed... sleep 8 hours and I'll wake up with still-damp hair.
    ...is there anything I can do to quicken dry time without blow frying my hair to death?

    That's true about protein overload, u will know by the breakage and hardness of the hair. The best thing to do is let go of too many products with protein. Use more moisturizing products And do hot oil treatments with coconut oil, trust me coconut oil is one of the best products to use. Karen's Body Beautiful in New York has this leave in called Super Silky and it does make ur hair feel like silk. I've never seen a leave in that works like that. Her products r all natural and can be bought off line or a rep in ur area if ur not in NY. As for the question about drying time, I would suggest to any woman, part ur hair in 4-5 sections or more if it's thick. Twist ur hair loosely and leave it like that, ur hair should dry in a matter of hours. U can also shampoo ur hair twisted if u want to avoid tangles for thick, long or curly hair,

    my new question: when I deep condition my hair, I usually need to use shampoo to get it out, and I have to scrub really hard too. Am I being counterproductive?
    If u have to do that, u may need to change to a thinner conditioner.
