Looking through the boards lately, i see a surge of products going wrong, the yearning of this and that product, and just a lot of "doing-too-much" going on...
When i first joined LHCF, i was really looking for a soloution for all my problems, If i knew THEN what i know NOW, my gosh, i wouldn't believe it.
Ladies its more simple than you may think! I'll put it like this, the more you need 2 do to you hair to make it look good,healthy etc, is the more it is probabley not healthy..what i mean to say is, haircare for black hair, even relaxed, is dead DEAD SIMPLE!
i say this now, because i'm going through a few personal/growing up kinda probs, and i haven't had access to my hair tub. my hair been living off water, and oil moisturizer for about 2 weeks, and its never been healthier. if i knew this even a few months ago, things would be a lot easier. Here is what i've done (might sound a bit 'homemade' but hey)
- To steam hair, spray with water, adding a leave in/oil moist, and tucking the hair into the inside of your t-shirt-top etc.
- Mositurizing - spray with water, and use oil moisturizer throughout by 'sifting' the hair side to side until everywhere is done
- Finger comb always, until you get regrowth to avoid knotsand other nasties
- condition once per week, rinse hair in the shower every 2 day to 'refresh' your previous deep conditioner..its water, it wont rinse out your product.
theres so many more, but there basically just knock off of the more scientific things we do..pm if you want,but i'm posting this cuz, i think we always feel that haircase is an art..it really is not, its as simple as brushing your teeth, it should NOT take up your DAY!!! SERIOUSLY, when you learn to let go, and so the things U KNOW ARE HEALTHY for the hair (obvious one - less heat for example) thats when your hair will grow, when u get on with your life and adapt your hair into it - not adapting your life-getting into debt etc for your hair! i've been practically homeless this week, and my hair looking better than when i was at home! Being minimalistic has more benefits then being over-zelous with haircare and anything in life. If i was made a millionair tomorrow i would still be spraying my head with tap water and using the same prods i have been using for years.
That was all probabley unessessary, but i've been feeling like this for weeks, thats why i've been a lurker and not really a poster for a while, i'm blown away by all the products and scientific facts...its nice to have knowledge, but sometimes you have to let nature take its course! xXx
