My Natural hair is so soft! I can't keep my hands out it!

[DDTexlaxed]

I can't believe how soft my hair is. My past 7 times going natural, my hair was hard and it didn't look moisturized. I realized that my past natural journeys, I caked my hair up in gel and swore it looked good. Now, thanks to you tube and some natural education, I find that I really don't need gel for my hair to curl, just a little conditioner and water. Aloe vera gel is a bit heavy for me. Maybe it will work when my hair gets longer. I found that my hair can be really soft and moist with just a little product. A newsflash for me. I really would like to learn how to use coconut oil in my hair or my vatika frosting. I just love the smell of that stuff. If anyone has any natural hair tips, I would highly appreciate it!

My natural hair loves Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (EVCO). I apply it when I wear a natural twist-out; keeps my hair feeling like butter.
And I also use EVCO on my hairline and ends to provide moisture to my dry press/straightened natural hair.

i used to leave in conditioner over the summer but then i realized too much makes my hair crunchy. not a good look.

if i use EVCO i prefer it using it to seal rather than to moisturize now that it is winter. i will use something heavy like baby buttercreme THEN use the coconut oil.

I'm glad you found something that works for you. I love the smell of vakita frosting. I mix it in my deep conditioners and seal with it. Aloe vera juice is also great. Mix it with a little bit of light conditioner and distilled water in a spray bottle and MOISTURE like no other.

Hi NatrlChallenge

My hair used to feel hard and dry until I stopped loading it with products. Now a good conditioning treatment and baggying and my hair stays so soft. I keep saying I can't do WNGs but I can if my hair stays in twists. CWing and then just letting the hair drip dry leaves me with very soft hair. That explains why I could never do the hands-out-of-hair challenge.

I'm just finding out my hair loves EVOO as a sealer

you have some relaxed hair in the front that probably isn't helping. Are you co-washing every day? Sealing with an oil? Hang in there chica, it'll get better!

That's cool! I'm chasing a natural dream right now, so I figured a name change would not cause confusion. In a year, if it does not work out, I will be back to DDTexlaxd.

Yeah, If I don't get some BC pics, ya'll gonna kill me! Don't worry, I answer to either one. NatrlChallenge was my original SN when I found LHCF.

How do you use the coconut oil in your hair? I haven't figured it out yet.
