Natural Heads I Need Your Help

[zoya_j]

My hair is dry, dry, dry. Glycerin & water used to be my staple, along with Paul Mitchell Leave-in but they're not working anymore. I've tried WOC curl activator, cholesterol deep treatments, ic polisher & pomade but nothing is working. My hair gets dried out in seconds! Could this be due to the weather, it has been very hot! I usually wear weaves, but I'm giving my hair a break in between styles.
I am thinking about getting the CDHHB. Anybody else fighting the war against dryness? The only thing that locks in moisture in my hair is twists but I alternate this with twistouts and free forms and then it is back to dry city again. I can't wait to get a ponytail, my edges still aren't long enough (next month for sure).

Have you tried African Royale Braid Spray ? It works for a lot of folks. I use it as a spray leave-in/detangler. It has a slippery feel to it--it doesn't get hard when it dries. And it has lots of herby ingredients.

I use Kids Organics Shea Butter Detangling Moisturing Hair Loion by Africa's Best.

i use nexxus humetress as leave in and do conditioner washes frequently

I second the African Royale Braid Spray. I've been using it the entire two years that I have been natural. It nips the dryness right in the bud.

Thanks ladies! I'll try the braid spray. My brother uses this and he recommended it to me a while back.

have you tried filtered or distilled water? Before I apply any pomades, etc. i either rinse or spritz with water. The pomade seals in the moisture.

I am not quite natural yet but conditioner washes have softened up my new growth so much that I can comb straight through it when wet. I am a 4a.

I can vouch for Carol's Daughter HHB. That really works well for my hair. I have heard that the curl activators are good for moisture. Conditioning washes and steaming the hair help tremendously too.

zoya, when was the last time you did a deep conditioning treatment? Also how do you wash your hair? Sometimes product buildup and make your hair a bit dry.

So if this is the case you then need to clarify and then follow up with some good deep conditioning. When my hair gets super dry in the past I have done deep conditioning every two to three days untill I feel a good difference.

Good Luck
