The New Product On The Block

 I have tried Taliah Waajid products before and it did what I needed it to do. But because my mother is not doing what I told her to do I needed to switch her over to all natural products. I wanted her to leave the silicone alone only because she is not making sure she wash them out and I think this is the cause of her breakage. 

So we went to the store to get sulfate free shampoo and silicone free conditioner and I wanted to try something different for her curls. And I have to say that I liked it. I liked what it did for her hair. She really has not retained any length since I cut her hair one year ago. So now maybe this will help her hair. Updates will follow soon.

I am still trying the total natural products with my hair and will keep you all updated about that journey.

Castor Oil

There has been talk about Castor oil not being good for Curly Heads.  I would really have to say no on that one. Since castor oil is great for use as a sealant on curly girls if you want to lock in that moisture on the ends of your hair. Another big thing is castor oil is good for promoting growth. A lot of women are really happy about that one. 

I guess what they don't realize if you want to use castor oil for that reason you would not use it on your hair from the root down. You would have to use it to massage into your scalp.  As I have been reading, a lot of curly heads have been making the mistake of using the oil from root to ends. To get the benefit of the oil and not lock out the moisture from your hair, you must apply the castor oil to the scalp and massage it in.

What I do is apply my Jamaican Black Castor Oil to my scalp at night and massage it in real good and this will promote the growth. Your hair is growing from inside your scalp so you want the oil to stimulate the blood flow. 

As far as sealing the moisture in your hair, I would take a little of the castor oil on my fingers and rub the very ends of my hair to seal in the moisture from freshly washed hair. And this is after you have styled your hair, so that means after you have applied all your styling products or if you are just a conditioner curly girl you would apply after you have styled with the conditioner. This is done so you will not lose the moisture you just applied to your hair. You can use olive oil for this reason  also. 

I hope all this makes since to you. 

Ladies love your hair and it will love you back.

More Hairveda

So I just really wanted to talk about my two favorite products @hairveda.net When ever I do my henna treatments I always want to follow up with as much moisture as possible. I choose to use Whipped Creme ends hydration for the job. Because of the ingredients I feel it has just what is needed for my hair especially since my hair is very protein sensitive.

Let's talk about  my curls without hold. Because these were the only products that I used on my hair all week except for my castor oil mix for scalp massages. Unstretch looking curls were not there. Instead I had elongated curls that were gorgeous.

Just imagine a roller set on a smaller roller lol and you have straight bouncy curls at the end of sitting under the dryer for one hour or so. That is what I get from just using Whipped Creme on wet hair. Once my hair drys that is my end result. Where the whipped gelly comes in, I lay my baby hair down with it, I will use it to control my frizz through out the week. It is great for just about anything you can think of on your hair. It is not your run of the mill gel.  It will lay it down but it is also very light and creamy.

I am really learning how to love two day hair with Hairveda products, ya!

Ladies learn from me love your hair and it will love you back.

UPDATE REGIMEN

So I have been going over my new regimen on paper so that I can get this all down and correct. I have even set everyone up who hair I do to come this weekend so that I can get them all on the same schedule on the calendar. No one would want anyone of us to have our tresses miss out on a treatment and it is much easier on me.

It as been establish that with the amount of silicone that I use on my hair I can not get by with clarifying alone.

After reading further in the book The Science of Black Hair I found that I needed to add to my regimen a chelating shampoo. So now I am going to give a blow by blow of what these products are and what I use them for.

Roux Porosity Control for Cheating = EDTA, this is what I understood had to be in a chelating shampoo. I got tired of looking so when I found this ingredient I was happy. This will be done once a month or even once every 2 month.

Gentle Clarifying Tresemme Shampoo which does the job I need it to do. This will be done once a month before henna treatment.

New to my team is Organix Macadamia line as my regular washing treatment for weekly use. This line is very hydrating which my hair needs badly. Deep conditioning is also done once a week.

Nupur henna for once a month. Now on to styling products.

The first thing I do after I shampoo and condition or co wash my hair which ever it maybe that day is apply Hairveda Whipped Creme which is used for moisturizing my hair, it is fingered through to make sure the products is all through my hair. I next apply Mixed Chicks Leave in conditioner and I also finger that through my hair once that is added  Alterna Frizz Correcting Styling lotion is applied. Hair is left to air dry before the curls are fluffed up and Hairveda Whipped Gelly is used to lay down my baby hair and just a little put on my edges.

I am doing second and third day hair now only because I have been sick and just don't feel like doing the wet hair thing and to do that I spray my hair with a Aloe Vera mix.

Finally, trimming every 6 months when needed. I will check at the 3 month mark to make sure my ends are looking healthy.

I am trying to love my hair so it can love me back.
