I wanted to say thank you to Jazala, and everyone else who has been so kind and welcoming to me on LHCF. I'm really surprised any of my techniques help at all on relaxed hair, so I'm very glad. It sounds like you are having more luck than I did with relaxed hair. I'm really learning a lot from all of you.
 
:O someone else with waist length natural, yay i have another hair idol.:grin:

i hope yo u dont mind teri. lol. welcome to the forum.
 
Ohhhhhh, now I see. The gloves would keep me from burning myself! I've tried it in the past without gloves (and only one towel), burned my hands when I tried to wring out the towel, so then I couldn't wring it out all the way. Then I ended up sitting there with a dripping head and sore hands. Yes, I like the glove idea much better! I'll have to give it a try. It looks like it cuts down on some of the tangling...that would be nice.

Thank you for the suggestion. I'll let you know how it goes when I do try.:look:

Hi MSHONEY, I've never steamed my hair. Knowing me, I'd probably do it wrong and end up scalding myself or something. I'm not very coordinated.:perplexed

I bought a denman and used tons of conditioner. If my hair was shorter, it would probably be better, but the long and frizzy bush was not a good look. My hair is obviously a bit too puffy to make this work. Especially in the crown of my hair where my hair is extra thick and more coarse.
 
great website!!

Fab hair, if only my hair was your texture!

I'm currently relaxed, and loving it, but iwill be goin natural in the future, i've been feeling very experimental recently, i'm gain for any challenge!!!
 
I love that site--thank you! There's a lot of info on her site all types of curly heads can benefit from. Her book will be a best-seller. :yep:

This made me check out my Nexus shampoos (including Aloe Rid). They have sodium laureth sulfate.

Are basically any that say they are moisturizing, or for damaged or frizzy hair. Make sure they don't contain sodium lauryl sulfate, because it's drying. Sodium laureth sulfate, however, is fine. If you use a medicated shampoo, try to find a conditioning one.

thanks ms honey. i normally keep her hair in a ponytail on top of head with little ringlet curls made with the condish and the denman. it lasts for a week, then i rewash and do it all over again.
 
I've been using this technique since the beginning of this thread. It has helped me to keep my tangles to a serious minimum. Not only that, I found a few curls placed randomly on my dome. It's weird because most of my hair stayed puffy while there were curls just thrown in there.

O well, I love my hair anyways.

I tried this on my 4a/3c hair and it didn't really work but I think it is because my hair is entirely too thick. I tried doing it on larger sections and I got a puff ball. I then tried it on really small sections and it worked well. But the sections I had to try it on were way too small for me to consider doing this on the regular.

What are you using on your hair, if you don't mind me asking? I was just in your fotki and I saw that you favor a whipped shea butter and of course CON (which I like the same one). Is there anything else? I am still trying to figure it all out but I am still growing though.
 
hi telzeek/Teri! :wave: i emailed you last month from my work email addy (PLM Trailer)... i didn't know you were on LHCF! :grin: i found your site thru this thread actually. the pic in my avatar is what my hair looked like after using conditioner as my leave-in... LOVIN IT like Mickey-D's. :lol: i still like to try out new/different products, but it's so nice to be able to only NEED one thing and go on about my business. so thanks again! :grin:
 
WOW, this is a great site
Dogmd, I love how your daughter's hair came out.
I am going to try this technique on my daughter's hair and see what happens.
Great site Teri! Thanks for your tips :)
 
Hi Terri,

I emailed you a while back (I'm Rochelle). I love your method it has been working wonders for me. My hair is still pretty short because I recently did a big chop to remove all my relaxer. I don't use the denman brush because with short hair is was too complicated. So I just use my fingers to seperate the hair and its working great.

For the lady's who said it didn't work for them, try to use your fingers to smooth and detangle instead of the brush.

Oh and I'm using Suave Humectant as my conditioner it gives the hair a since shine when dry and stays soft to the touch but with a nice hold.

Wow, I can't wait to try this. I may do this in the morning instead of my usual wash and go technique.
 
Hi there ladylibra,

Thank you so much for your message, and I'm glad some of my ideas are working for you! I have to say I LOVE your adorable curls! They have so much joy and personality. And your hair is really growing!
