The big chop! I decided to chop up my comb. My hair is my favorite feature. I was approached to make my own products since i have become a little mix master of hair goo. I've fallen in love with Grapeseed Oil. It's not heavy and has a soft nutty scent that can easily blend with an essential oil. I use a Shea Butter cream my best friend made for the kids and I. I use it on our hair and body. It has mended split ends, moisturize dry flaky scalp and soften the texture of the hair.
Now I have realized that going all natural has improved my skin a lot. In learning that, I've become addicted. Like any addiction, it is very expensive. I am using a few commercial products. With the natural hair market growing so rapidly, there are a lot to choose from. I read their ingredients carefully. I know what works for me does not work for my children. Different texture need different methods. As long as you have a perfect base to start with, just about anything works. I can not stress enough how important it is to add moisture, moisture MOISTURE! I rinse my hair between washes to reduce build up. My hair is fine and I use Jamaican Castor Oil and it is very heavy. Great to use for growth and scalp simulation. I use Jamaican Castor Oil, Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Tea Tree Oil and Grapeseed Oil as a Hot Oil Treatment. I shampoo with Garnier because it doesn't strip the oil or hair. Mix avocado and mayo as a great moisturizer and rinse. I use Cantu Leave in conditioner and my weekly treatment is done. Daily, I use a little water to hydrate my hair and Shea Butter Cream and go.
Embrace your natural hair. I do!
