I'm trying to transition and have been struggling to come up with the right products and regimen to make it through this transition. The only products that I was certain about are the following:
Pre-poo-- castor oil (I love this especially before using my Head and Shoulders shampoo)
Shampoo-- Head and Shoulders , Keracare Hydrating Detangling Shampoo
Conditioner-- jury is still out-- I like Keracare Humecto but the last two times I used it, it seemed like my hair wasn't responding-- not sure yet.
Leave in conditioners-- still working on this
Moisturizers--???
Sealers-castor oil and apricot oil (to follow my nonexistent moisturizer lol)
Anyway--The dermatologist I saw yesterday gave me a paper with a scalp regimen for "seborrheic dermatitis with associated hair breakage"). Here is my major concern:
"Do not use Oil, Grease or Vaseline products to style hair. Instead look for products that are Silicone based; they must have any of these ingredients: SILICONE, METHICONE, CYLOMETHICONE or any derivatives..." Note: this is exactly how it is written on my paper--capitalization and spelling errors included.
What? I just started adding oils to my conditioner and use oil as my prepoo. I'm not completely sure about this scalp regimen and I feel like this is the exact opposite of everythng transitioners/naturals believe in. But DH pointed out, that I need hair in order to actually go natural, lol. So I figure I'd try to comply just in case she knows what she's talking about.
What products can you recommend to help me continue my transition. I was already struggling with my hair and regimen before this, and now I'm just lost.
