Alright. I'm in high school, graduating soon, and my mom finally gave me free rights to my hair. I can do anything to it, as long as I don't chop it all off. So the FIRST thing I wanted to do was GO NATURAL. My last relaxer (Mizani Regular) was for my debutante ball which was on the 20th of December '08.
I would just ask my mom, but she just chopped all of her hair off and doesn't really know what she's doing herself.
I have no idea what to do with my hair. Everyone has always told me that I had "good hair" when I was a baby. My 2b/c hair is most likely the result of Native American ancestry...blah blah. Anyways. I don't really have a set shampoo and conditioner or anything. I almost never wash my hair. If I do, I wait like two or three weeks. I know it sounds gross. But I like my hair to lay flat, and if I wash it often, it gets really poofy and I get that old Oprah Winfrey look.
When I do wash my hair, I just use whatever is around... I always put Hot Six Oil in with the shampoo when I wash, and I do one conditioner in the shower, and I condition again with the rinse-out conditioner, but I don't rinse it out... I wrap my hair with the conditioner in it and just go to bed with the shower cap on so that I can get my hair moisturized all night.
I used to use MTG and BT back in Oct/Nov '08, but that got boring. I got results, though. It left a nice sheen on my hair. I also used Lenzi's Request. I think that stuff worked pretty well on my edges.
Oh Yeah, sometimes when I wash my hair and then dry it with a blowdryer (i don't do that often anymore) I get dry ends and I can't really tell if those are split ends, or just dry ends. But my friends always tell me that I barely have any split ends.
Braids--is an option, but I would have to save up my money because it's expensive up here to get a good hairstyle. Almost 200 bucks!
So I basically don't have any hair products that are a staple...just the Hot Six Oil, and that stuff has been working pretty well. I just know there has to be something better.
So I'm asking for some recommendations on a regimen (teach me how to wash my hair and what do I do after?)transitioning tips, etc.
Right now I am wearing full wigs as a protective style. My sig pic is a wig, so don't go by that. My hair looks exactly like the wig but just shoulder length.
Thanks in advance for the help!
