I use Johnson's Baby Oil on my natural pressed hair. It makes it soooo soft!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if this is secret but -- after wash, stretch hair first with Jane Carter's or Giovanni's Wrap & Set Lotion with hard rollers to bring shine and straighten out. (2) twist hair for those who can Bantu knot, that would be ideal, for those who cannot like me, I then roll my twists up again on hard rollers for style and uniform. I re-roll everynight with either Jane Carter or Lottobody. In the morning, If I want a loser curl pattern to the twists, I will roll with big flexi rods. It only takes an hour or so to loosen the curl, sometimes I do not. When you do finally unravel for a twist out, you get a really nice look. (3) Sometimes, after I take out the rollers, I only unravel a few twists, here and there for more fullness and so in the evening, I only have a few twists to twist up again and (4) Argan or Moroccan oil, liquid gold for the hair.

ReplyDeleteI did my BC back in August, my hair was 8f-10b inches in length(including 1.5 inches of new growth). Now in March I have all 10 inches even and my hair is thick, curly and soft.
The trick to MN is finding a brand with no mineral oil, applying it only to your scalp, and shampooing once a month or your hair will be waxy, dry and limp.
Application: Apply like grease
Shampoo: Carol's Daughter Black Vanilla Shampoo, Pantene NatureFusion
What I did: The first two months I had Carol's Daughter Hair Elixir and two tubes of MN. I'd co-wash with Black Vanilla for Carol's daughter, section and oil with CDHE, and let my hair air dry completely. Then I would go in with the MN. The reason I would let my hair dry is I didn't want the MN on my hair, the water would make it cling to stands.
I stopped just before October to check progress, 5 inches from 1.5 in just two months. I wanted to do a controlled experiment so I took off two months. Over the break my length crawled to 6 inches. I also did a Cassia application. My hair is already this funky red color, I just wanted to add some gleam.
In December I started back up, this time with Carol's Daughter Healthy Hair Butter and used Suave Naturals Tropical Coconut Condish. Same process, but I would "grease" my scalp with the butter. Since I wasn't using any oil, I would seal my ends with Castor oil, I wasn't aware that there are certain Castor oils you have to use because some food grades are drying. At the end of the of the two months I had my 10 inches but my ends were dry and brittle. So I cut 1 inch off.
This could have also come from the flat ironing when I checked my length, who knows. I do need to get a better iron. Though afterward my curls started to clump easily and more often.
My follicles must have been in a resting phase because I barely made it to 9.5 inches in the second week of February. I have been using EVOO for this break and I have seen improvement. Also I believe I have found the Holy Grail of conditioners- Herbal Essences Hello Hydration. This morning I did a wet measurement and my length is just about the 11 inch marker.
I don't think I will use MN anymore, but I have nothing negative to say about it. I have stopped simply because I am satisfied with my length.
The eccentric hair secret that I have heard and use is substituting saran wraps for shower caps while conditioning. I was skeptical at first; it seemed like it wouldn't make difference and was too weird. But it works very well and keeps messiness low.
ReplyDeleteI know people who swear by prenatal vitamins (the kind that they sell at a vitamin store) for shiny, fast growing hair.
