" Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore"...haaaa don't you remember those days? Me too! I remember getting a textlax at the age of three because " I was so tender head", this was true, I really was tender at the head growing up and aint shit changed but my age lol.
Who am I fooling? I love my nappy head! I have been back and forth so many times between my natural hairstyles, relaxer, and weaves (which I just took out). I cant deny my roots literally lol. So something always sparks my natural tendencies...night before last I said to myself "yo just do it to the fullest if you are going to do it"...so I took my weave out and cut the rest of the texturized ends off...I felt so relieved!
" Yah girl is back!" that's what I felt like...
All of the techniques that I have viewed on Youtube and hair care forums are now going to be implemented in my hair care regimen!
A friend of mine is natural and she gave me the whole rundown on how she keeps her hair in good condition...her notes are posted below word for word and there are even sites that she suggested. I appreciate her for that!
What can I say? I'm Me!

Natural hair care-Mine's Methods
Pre-Poo Mix
-Coconuot oil
-Grapeseed Oil
-Olive Oil
-Shea Butter
-Palm Oil
Mix all together, dampen hair and leave overnight or all day the DAY BEFORE you shampoo
Shampoo
Use products that SULPHATE FREE…it strips your hair
Organix is a good line, and Aveda has sulphate free products
After I shampoo I put Cholesteral on my hair and use the denman through it.
I rinse and the denman my hair again and two strand twist sections or style any other way.
I moisturize with coconut oil. Sometimes I mix it with shea butter and palm oil. Then I run it in my hair and finger style and go.
Two to three times a week I put castor oil on my edges.
I take a regular multi-vitamin and try to drink lots of water
On days when I feel my hair is dry I put just coconut oil on my hair before I go to bed. I also put the Afro detangler every other day, especially at the roots and tips.
