• Hairdressing and pomades are the best solution if you are having lack of sheen problems with your black hair.
• Split ends are the signs that you are not effectively conditioning your hair. You should pay attention to that.
• If you feel you hair is lacking growth, conditioner and moisturizer should be used.
• Detangling shampoo is the answer for your hair breakage.
• Strengthening and conditioning your hair by the regular use of hair oils and other products containing essential vitamins will help you minimize hair loss.
• If you got your hair relaxed and are now experiencing chemical damage, the next time you decide to relax your hair, you should opt for any of the natural ways available for hair relaxing.
• Heat styling foam can cause your hair thermal damage. You should use alcohol free styling foam for your hair.
• Hair oils and shampoos matching your hair type are the solutions for flaky, itchy scalp.
• Manageability can be achieved through gels and wrap lotions.

what are natural available ways of hair relaxing......

Sour cream and lemons. It seems like people have the most success with this or with yogurt treatments.

Coconut and lime has gotten some good results too but it also didn't work for a lot of people.

I found that baking soda rinses elongate my curls and I only use it as shampoo for my scalp and I use a small amount.

You can search those on the board...or check naturalgurl's fotki. She does sour cream and lemons I think and it's working well for her.

None of these will make your hair straight like a relaxer but they should help stretch out your hair some and make detangling a little easier.

Also, the caramel treatment is great for intense moisture, which will also help your hair to be more manageable.

Just sharing my .02, but I would advise that people (especially newbies) be careful of this O.P.

I think he/she/it is selling something. I've rarely seen the O.P. post responses to the threads he/she/it creates. And the link in the siggy is selling something.

So you're suggesting "grease"? That's a very unpopular product on this board.

ITA with Arr1216, I think threads posted by this OP offering tips are started to provide a link to their product.

ARE YOU SERIOUS? WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME U WERE ABLE TO RUN YOUR FINGERS THRU GEL?

People need to stop coming on her and try giving advice. The OP has no clue and is just posting random stuff. They are selling something.

Newbies beware.

LMAO, I love how most of the advice is vague, and the advice that isn't vague is really bad.

Is it safe to use these product mixes on chemically treated hair? What's the source of the info. in the OP? Tried and tested by OP or taken from another source.

[soulie]

If you search Google for sentences from any of the OP's hair advice posts, they are plagarized directly from articles published by other people. Non-black other people.

 

[Naturelle]

[jerseygurl]

Any LHCF member can tell that the info is just a bunch of garbage.

Sorry, I'm just now seeing this.

People on the board have been trying those different methods, I only suggested them because I've seen threads on them here. I know people with relaxed hair have used the treatments though specifics would be in the threads. A couple mentioned that the caramel treatment was helping them stretch because it moisturized their new growth so well.

Just do a search for Coconut and Lime or for Caramel treatments.

Yup. Just do a quick search and you should find a lot of info, including recipes. Also there is info explaining why the treatments work (the lactic acid in the sour cream/yogurt is what gives the "relaxing" effect).

has the baking soda premanently elongated your curls

I don't know if it's permanent. And, I don't know if elongated is the best word though in some places they really are. I noticed after having used it for a few months my curls were a lot more defined, manageable, and they seemed a little stretched out. One day I was reading a thread and it kind of clicked that it could be the baking soda I was using that was causing it. My hair has been far more moisturized as well so I'm sure that contributes, because when natural hair is really moisturized it seems to be a little easier to deal with.
