Myrick Hair Beauty Supplies - Wave Builder Wash in Waves Wave Saving Shampoo 7oz

1st step in your man's wave building journey. To get 360° spinning
waves, the hair must be trained to do so. That training starts in the
shower w| the shampoo:

To Transition or BC- which is right for me?

This is a major question for those new to the natural hair journey.

Many women find it hard to make this decision, but the truth is... its
really up to you. With proper care you can go either route. I think its
easier to just BC and start from there; only because when transitioning,
it gets to be a hassle sometimes and you have the temptation to go back
for a creamy crack fix, and call it a day. More women embrace their
natural hair when they BC.

If you do decide to transition:

Make sure you use the proper products for your hair because its fragile,
esp. at the line of demarcation- where your natural hair ends and the
relaxer begins. Products with silicone REALLY help matters in that area.
I was a fan of Mizani while I transitioned.

You may choose to press out your roots in the meantime, esp. if you have
more relaxed hair than natural. Or, you may choose to wear your hair in
braids or a weave- to reduce stress on those sensitive areas that tend
to break very easily in daily styling. I wore a weave for 2 months, then
opted for the press and curl. But I probably should've kept with the
weave because dealing with my new growth got more tiring week to week.
Plus I later found out that straightening your hair on a constant basis
messes up the natural curl pattern (for those who wish to wear their
curls).

If you decide to BC:

Make sure its a decision you're gonna be able to live with. If you feel
its going to be too short for your face, transition it a little more
until its where you're going to feel comfortable. A BC is suppose to be
liberating not devastating so please make sure of that before you go and
make that step.

Once you've BC'd, proper product selection is also important. There are
a vast array of products on the market for curls- make sure its for your
curls. Some may be too light for heavier curls or course hair, and some
may be too heavy for lighter curls or finer hair. Know your hair type
and choose accordingly.

No matter what type or texture you have, under NO circumstances use
anything containing mineral oil or petroleum. Read the ingredients list
before making a purchase. If you see these product drop them and move
on. Those ingredients are misleading, and do not moisturize -AT ALL. In
fact it basically sits on the outer layer of you hair, because hair and
skin cannot absorb neither of them. Instead opt for natural moiturizers
like vitamin e, glycerin, shea, coconut, olive, avacado, jojoba,
walnut, nettle, rosemary, and wheat germ oils.

I find it better for my natural hair to use a sulfate free wash.
Sulfates dry our already dry hair out, damages it in the long run and
defeats the purpose of the BC. If I wanted my hair to be damaged I'd
have kept relaxing my hair.

10 Causes Of Hair Loss | Hairlosshaven.com

Can proper hair care re-grow hair?

The answer, surprisingly, is yes.

There is a catch though. The products used on the hair must interact
with hair follicles in a precise manner.

In order to achieve hair growth, the following three things must occur.
The excess sebum that is clogging the hair follicles must be removed.
Whatever is applied on the head, must reduce DHT levels. Finally, the
hair follicles must be revitalized with increased blood circulation.

Weave Woes

There is a misconception of the concept of weaves. Many women fall into


the snare of thought that when you put a weave in, u just forget about,

and give up on your own hair. I'm here to inform you that that is not true at all. True, a weave

serves the purpose of adding hair where there may not be any by either

adding length or fullness, but it is not an indefinite fix. I use weaves

to give my hair a break from styling and heat stress, and along with the

rest of you also to add length and/or body when I want extra, until mine

grows out.



I have chopped my hair off twice in my lifetime once in '07 (just

because), and again at the end of last year, I decided to go natural and

cut my relaxed hair off. Currently I'm sewn up until more of my length

returns. Meanwhile, I never forget about my hair, or use weave as a

permanent substite or replacement for my head grown hair; aint nothing

better than having your own hair... NOTHING.



If you want longer hair take care of your own hair:

·use a stimulating shampoo and conditioner combo that's right for your

hair needs.



I like: Pantene's Beautiful Lengths shampoo and conditioner. Although

its not stimulating, it uses aqua current technology to direct moisture

deeper into the strand protecting it from damage, seals the cuticle, and

keeps ends in tact for less frequent trims; giving the hair a chance to

grow out.



VIA naturals preparatory shampoo

http://www.amazon.com/Natural-Revitalization-Cleaning-Preparatory-Shampoo/dp/B0010CDYYG

gives the scalp a fresh start, stimulates the scalp, exfoliates pore

clogging debris that prevent growth. I usually use this for the 1st

lather then I proceed with my fave moisturizing shampoo.



I'm currently using:

Deity America Plant Shampoo. It stimulates blood circulation to the

scalp, all natural, leaves my hair feeling silky, and I love the smell.



·Deep condition or treat your hair every 2 weeks (right before a weave

is put in and after it's taken out)



My faves are: Hair mayonaise by Organic Root stimulator or the one by

Africa's Best.



Profectiv's mega growth deep strengthening growth conditioner



VIA Growth Therapy Conditioner

http://www.universalbeautystore.com/shopexd.asp?id=241&cat_id=8



I'm currently using:

Hair Mayonaise by Africa's Best. It's excellent for my hair before and

after a weave. It leaves my hair soft, moisturized, easy combout, and

strong. My scalp feels rejuvenated when I rinse



Nexxus Aloxxi as a bi-weekly treatment to undo any heat damage I may

have done to the hair left out. It works perfect while my hair is

weaved, it treats my hair with out the heavy build up... i.e no greasy

looking weave.



·Get regular trims (every 2 or 3 months)



·Try taking a supplement that encourages hair growth my faves are:



GNC's Horsetail

http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3921983&kwCatId=&lmdn=Brand



Andrew Lessman's Healthy Hair Skin & Nails which contains MSM (excellent

for rapid hair growth)

http://health-fitness.hsn.com/andrew-lessman-healthy-hair-skin-nails_m-10029831_xp.aspx



·Don't forget your hair underneath the braids and tracks.

BEFORE your weave is applied, make sure you moisturize your scalp with

none other than something to stimulate growth.

I Like: Organic Root Stimulator's carrot oil creme- with nettle,

horsetail, carrot oil and other known nourishers for the scalp that help

the hair grow up big and strong.



VIA naturals stimulating gro serum

http://www.amazon.com/Via-Natural-Stimulating-Gro-Serum/dp/B0010CCKFA/ref=pd_sim_bt_2

I always apply this to my scalp daily especially when I get the

notorious weave itch, it works way better than slappin my own head. Its

light, not greasy, but it gets the job done.



Salerm Biokera for hair loss

http://www.amazon.com/Salerm-Intensive-Specific-Especifica-Applications/dp/B000TFSBW0/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1273780676&sr=1-1-fkmr1

is an amazing leave-in after a weave wash! Apply to scalp all over and

feel it go to work. (6 vials per pack)





If fuller hair is what you want,



· 1st you may need to cut hair evenly. This makes hair look much fuller

in appearance being that all the strands are stacked on the same level.

If this leaves you hair shorter than desired, then rock the weave a

little longer until it reaches the desired length.



· Once your length is "you approved", choose to use volumizing hair

products:



I like: Pantene's Flat to Volume shampoo and conditioner. The root

lifter spray gel adds to the effect



Body Envy by Herbal essences

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dbeauty&field-keywords=herbal+essences+body+envy

is a great line. I'm a fan of the Weightless Volumizing Gel, it

volumizes my hair, doesn't dry it out or make it crunchy. With the

fusion of pink coral flower & white nectarine they smell awesome!



Also try Doo Gro Mega thick shampoo and conditioner. It has organic

bodybuiders that give mass to the hair strand.





·DO NOT RELAX HAIR BEFORE PUTTING IN A WEAVE. Unless you want

breakage... don't do it. Relaxers break down the chemistry of the hair,

leaving it in an already weak state. Pulling it into tight braids and

then sewing tracks onto it only adds un-needed stress on your tresses

and pops the hair off. All of which is the culprit in the excessively

thin appearance of the hair once the weave is taken out, leaving you

with no choice but to indefinitely rely on a weave.



Stop the cycle today!

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and hair is only as strong as its weakest section.

Hair breaks at its weakest point, so keep it strong with products
containing protein, panthenol, oils, butters, silicone and herbs.

·Protein will help in rebuilding the hair shaft from any damage incurred
from heat, styling products and/or tools. Protein is the building block
of hair. There are a many sources for hair protein like: milk, egg,
wheat (also good for shine) and more. Placenta is known for its
abundance of protein. This placenta is not derived from humans, but from
animals.

· Panthenol and glycerin help bind water to the hair.

· The best oils for moisture replenishment are, olive, honey,
various seed and fruit oils.

· Butters are also used in thicker conditioners for intense moisture.
Butters are derived from shea, peanuts, coconuts and more. Banana
extract provides moisture as well as shine.

· Silicones add the longest lasting shine to hair, because they bind to
the hair as well as help retain moisture. But silicones may be too heavy
for fine or limp hair, and produce a greasy look.

· Peppermint, lavender, horsetail and rosemary are good for stimulating
growth.

Know your hair type and goals, this helps you focus on the best
ingredients to accommodate its needs.

Pantene™ Curly Review

About 3 or 4 weeks ago I took one of my usual trips to the shampoo aisle
of my local drugstore, and noticed that Pantene™ has re-invented
themselves... again. I know that when this happens, most of the time our
favorites get dropped. So I checked to see which products got cut and
which ones hit the shelves. Safe to say most of the faves are still
alive... just some reformulation and of course new look and smell. We
have more options now... like I have, or had fine hair that needed
volume (in my relaxed days), yet it dries out easily, so I would've
liked to use Full & Thick but clear shampoo's dry hair out but Relaxed
and Natural was a little heavy for my hair. Well now, they have a Flat
to Volume line that has three different formulas for your specific type
of fine hair, I would be able to use Dry to Moisturized which is creamy,
moisturizing, and light enough to give a volume boost (thumbs up). They
also have new additions like Medium-Thick Hair Solutions w/ 4
formulations of it's own, and so it goes for all the other groups. Upon
seeing Pantene's "custom fit hair care" I was like a kid in a candy
store: new hair care products, sale, and it's Pantene... of which I am
an ultimate fan. Now, since my hair is now natural I've been on the hunt
for a product that makes my hair look curly and not... the "N" word. So
my final choice was from their Curly Hair Series line, of which they
have two formulations- Dry to Moisturized and Curls to Straight... I
chose Dry to Moisturized. Just like the kid /candystore... I must taste
my goodies ASAP, so as soon as I got home I washed, treated then
conditioned. It has a nice feel, creamy, good slip, and once I set my
curls it looks like curls. Next day however not SO much tho. My curls
were stil visible but they had puffed out and had a dryer look than they
did the day prior. But I re-applied w/ water and voila... they're back.
My issue is that I had to keep reapplying REGULARLY. I love Pantene and
wasn't totally disappointed, but I don't think this was made with my
type of curls in mind. This would be perfect for someone with bigger and
looser curls, with a finer hair texture. Mine just need a heavier duty
type of moisture. I will use the remainder as a co-wash, it rinses out
lovely and leaves hair with a light, clean feel. And it smells nice too,
still bias on the original scent though (nothing beats it, sorry).

Overall I'd recommend the curly line to my bestfriend Migdalia, who is
hispanic, has bigger curls than I do, that dry out and get matted when
not properly quenched. This would be perfect for her and any other curl
like hers.

And I still love pantene conditioners.

I just bought a bottle of Plant Shampoo For Hair Loss by Deity of Hair.

The plan is to use this until the bottle is done without alternating
poo's. I want to see if this product works as good as the ads say. I
want something that's going to accelerate growth and soften my natural
hair in one product. According to the ingredients there's tuber of
multiflower knoweed, angelica, fruit of rangoon creeper, fruit of glossy
privet, myrobalan root bark of shaggy gruited dittany, ginseng, saffron,
and more that do exactly what I want it to do, along with strengthen and
thicken my hair.
I'll record my results I didn't purchase the matching conditioner... so
I use either of my Organix conditioners.

*sidebar: I also used the tibet
tonic hair growth restorer by deity america and in two weeks it made my
hair grow already. i'm impressed now that i'm using the shampoo as well,
we'll see how how far it takes me in my hair growth journey.

*side note this was originally written 5-5-10 tomorrow I will post an
update on my results, with pics.

A Pathetic View on Natural Hair « Hair! | Afro Glitz Magazine

http://hair.afroglitzmag.com/a-pathetic-view-on-natural-hair/

Smh. This is craziness. Ignorance is an understatement, but sadly enough
a lot of women think this same way. And I do find that guys have a some
what double standard when it comes to natural hair: they say they like
black women with their own natural hair... but those dudes aren't
talking about texture, only the hair itself in reference to or as
opposed to weaves, wigs, or pieces. This blog entry is the exact
ignorance I can't stand but am not surprised exists. Natural hair can be
maintained and manageable with proper care, patience and products.
Granted natural hair isn't for EVERY ONE, according to lifestyle and
preference. But she will never know the true essence of pride with that
way of thinking. Truly sad.

Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.8

Is ignorance really bliss?

I find it amusing that people in general especially my people of color
snicker when I refer to my natural hair as curly, or when I look for
curly hair products. Should I say nappy and use nappy products? Nappy
isn't even a texture, and as far as I'm concerned is a negative
reference to my beautiful hair. Yes I embrace my blackness and am
proud
to be of african descent so I would never try to pretend my assets are
of any other.

Lets face facts, our hair (black hair) is curly. Some of our curls are
wound tighter than others but still curly. Our hair tends to dry out
easily so instead of the bouncy spring-like curls we recognize as
curls,
it usually looks like a puffy cloud, or matted.

Care must be taken to get the furthest potential out of our hair in
its
natural state. Proper tools and product must be used to get the grade
of
hair we already have to shine through.

1. What kind of shampoo are you using? You cannot just throw whatever
was on sale this week on your hair and expect the best results. Take
time to read the ingredients list... that is what its there for after
all. Opt for a sulfate free poo. Research has long shown that sulfates
strip the strands of all its natural and essential oils, which in turn
leaves hair looking dry, rough and damaged; which is the exact
opposite
of what we're aiming for.

2. Do you allow your natural tresses to bask in the extra moisure of a
deep
penetrating conditioner, or hot oil treatment? Our hair needs it! Some
of us more or less than others but deep conditioners, treatments are
essential in caring for natural hair. Again reading is fundamental,
stand in the aisle and read the ingredients. Does it contain mineral
oil? If so, put it down and move on to the next product. Mineral oil
is
a filler, cheap stuff companies put in their products to make your
hair
SEEM to be moisturized... but guess what I found out!!! Its not. Hair
and skin is
unable to absorb mineral oil so it just sits on the outer layer making
things look moist when they aren't at all. Instead opt for products
that
are silicone based, (ex. dimethecone). Preferably once to twice a
month.
Invest in a paddle cushion brush with rubber tips to detangle hair
instead of a comb. Less pain, and breakage esp. by holding hair in
other
hand, between the scalp and where you are detangling.

3. What do you use to prep your curls? I've learned that in order to
get
the best curls, we have to start with wet hair straight from the
shower.
Try to find and use a conditioner that doesn't contain alcohol. If
that's too hard to
do, (which it probably will be since most of them have a variety of
alcohols) look for one specifically for curly hair... or atleast one
that is moisturizing and paraben free. Smooth individual curls by
slightly twirling
around fingers (this relaxes its natural desire to curl in a bunch of
different directions resulting in the undesired curl-less frizzy look),
then
allow to dry naturally or under a hooded dryer, blow drying only
defeats
the purpose.

4. Keep curls intact, and well behaved by applying curl hair milk
during
the day when needed. And in the morning by dampening hair and applying
a
small amount of conditioner to reset any mussed curls. Don't forget to
secure hair in a braid: braided down to 1 inch from ends, and wrap
hair
up with a silk or satin scarf to protect against friction and keep
hair
manageable.

Our natural hair is beautiful and we can make it look and feel the way
we want it to without chemicals and heat. Let your "curly", yes I said
curly hair shine through and kick "nappy" to the curb, cuz I don't
know
about you but I don't have nappy hair, never have never will... its
non-existant and I don't identify with it.
