What do you consider Natural Hair?

Re: What do you consider Natural Hair?


since my scalp has been itching me of late I am trying a variation on Kurlie's recipe. I used what I had in my cupboard tonight:

coconut oil
olive oil
jojoba oil
tea tree oil
eculyptus oil
bergamot oil
lemon oil

I parted my hair and put the mixture on my scalp and then sat under the dryer. So far, I havent washed it out. I think I will keep it on overnight as well.

The itchinh is already starting to ease up. I find if I get stressed my skin including my scalp gets itchy and blistery, so I am gonna go to bed early with this stuff on my hair/scalp and see how it is in the morning

Re: My Hair

My suggestion, wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo and then use a hair polish, like bain du terre or CHI

Sounds like a plan.

Someone was also telling me to try a pomade...any suggestions?

(my nerves) thing with pomade is it is generally heavy and either makes the hair sticky or greasy. The only one I ever use is the blue one ultrasheen I think make it. oh an a yellow one, but it smell like sulpher.

I combed it out Took a lot of conditioner and patience...but I combed them out.

Re: My Hair

first off...to much products will mek the hair dull soe the less the better, but I remember the first time I loc my hair and then comb it out, my hair was never the same, it would get knot up easily and always look dull. Luckily for me it was like 3 inches of hair so I was thinking of either cut it off and start a fresh or loc it back, which I loc it back.

Now if you dont want to do either, try using natural aloe vera to cleanse your hair, get a good conditioner, preferably non-creamy and use the jojoba oil or there is a hair oil call Natural Blessings.

Don't worry about using too much products or fancy names just do simple and natural for a while. The Aloe should cleanse the hair and bring it back.

Re: My Hair

Okay that sounds good and cheaper

No my hair is pretty much the same as it was previous to the locs...sometimes I do miss the locs but...mi too sometimish fi kip ie

Re: My Hair

I see where Gen suggest the suave their products are good too but the aloe will help.
