a dark chestnut would look more natural then some of the other suggestions you could buy some extensions that are of the same texture color #33 or #30 to see the results wear it a few days and see how you like it or go to the wig shop and try on a few differnt colors to see what color matches your skin-toneif you are feeling wild go for #27 lol or #99j

fushia plum, or crimson will show up really nice in your hair. I suggest trying a rinse out temp, that way you won't be stuck with a color you don't like.

Talk to the stylist that does your hair. They will have the best ideas of what would look good with your skin coloring and hair type. I think color should reflect on your personality. I think either an auburn or blond streaks might look kinda cool though.

I think that depends on if you want to stand out , or fit in ,or if you just want something not one person has. If you want something that is not to LOOK AT ME ,go with red (my x-ant had that and it looked great) or brown it is not that much you can do that can go wrong with brown!I HOPE I HELPED!

Wrapping natural 4a black hair STRAIGHT?

Hi,



I've been wearing my hair natural for years and plan to continue, but I'm tired of wearing just a puffy ponytail and I want to change up my look. I have soft and completely natural 4a black hair. Is it possible to use the wrapping technique to make me hair straight or at least straighter? I've worn relaxed straight hair before, but I don't want to bother with chemicals -- that's how my hair got messed up so many times before. I just want to have a straight style when I want to without having to use chemicals or heat. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.



Wrapping natural 4a black hair STRAIGHT?

I don't know wrapping techique but i know this...



. I discovered this about 3 months ago and now my hair flows in the wind and is so weightless and healthy. And no i do not have a relaxer i stopped getting them 5 years ago ( and i've only have 3 relaxers in my life time so this is all natural) it amazes me.



1. The shampoo, unfortunately many black women are using shampoos with alcohol and petroleum jelly. step away from them. Use Aveda's shampoo.. specifically the name is Brilliant...go to the website. I use it, i love it, it mouisterizes my hair and the products are natural. i have also heard that KeraCare is good.



2. Okay, step two condition it and then it is time to comb it out, Do not use a brush on you hair when it is wet,,it will hate you for it then break off in revenge.



3. Do a hot oil treatment atleast once a month with extra virgin olive oil...repeat..EXTRA VIRGIN olive oil..not the regular stuff. unfortunately i have yet to take this step however my hair is doing great.



4. Okay on the daily basis you need to pay close attention to your hair...i recommend conditioning your scalp and your ends so that they will not get dry and unhealthy



Petroleum jellly and mineral oil are weapons of mass destruction,,it does so much harm to your hair it cannot be all explained here. So you ask what do I use...well natural oils



jojoba oi, extra virgin olive oil, sesame oil, emu oil, coconut oil...all these natural oils and more love you..i promise.



5. Next,,if you want your hair straight but still be natural it is time to get a freakin good flat iron.,i have the Chi..it does the job but I recommend getting the Sedu because of the good reviews. make sure to protect your hair..i have so thermal protector from Aveda.



6. Eat healthy, drink lots of water,



7. take multivitamins, and fish oil pills you can get from GNC.



Follow these steps and life will be good..the best part about flat iron (which i do once a week or every two weeks not everday since it will kill your hair) is that it is not stringy but thick and healthy, yet straight and light enough to blow in the wind.



Wrapping natural 4a black hair STRAIGHT?

do a rollerset first and then you can wrap it at night....i have natural hair too, but i don't classify it because none of the classifications fit me, my hair varies all over my head, but rollerset first or you can do a press %26amp; curl

To those that have used Garnier 100% Blue Black on your natural black hair, how were your results?

My natural hair color is black and I'm thinking if using the Garnier 100% Blue Black. If your natural hair color is black and you have used Blue Black, how were your results? Did the blue show up pretty well? If you have pictures of your results, can you please show them to me? Thanks.



To those that have used Garnier 100% Blue Black on your natural black hair, how were your results?

and it gave me a bad rash

As an african-american woman, what products are best for natural hair(unrelaxed)?

So far I have been using Pantene for women of color but is it anything out there just for natural hair that's works really good at making the hair soft %26amp; managable?



As an african-american woman, what products are best for natural hair(unrelaxed)?

Hey there! I'm going natural myself, but I'm in the transitioning phase (micros). From the research I've done so far, use products like coconut oil and shea butter, and DON'T USE SHAMPOO! Shampoo is not good for natural (unrelaxed) hair because it dries it out too much. Do the no-poo (or co-wash) where you wash your hair with conditioner only. You hair gets just as clean, but without losing its much needed moisture.



There are a lot of resources online to help with your questions about natural hair care. Here are just a few things that I've found helpful:

Hope this helps!



As an african-american woman, what products are best for natural hair(unrelaxed)?

Try Garnier Fructis or Dove products.



As an african-american woman, what products are best for natural hair(unrelaxed)?

just shampoo and condition



As an african-american woman, what products are best for natural hair(unrelaxed)?

Try Carols daughter's They are alittle bit pricey but they are natural products for natural hair. Jada , Mary and others use it



As an african-american woman, what products are best for natural hair(unrelaxed)?

The best thing to do is make sure you have a very good conditioner. Try using the cholesterol conditioner and use the extra conditioning packs that you buy at beauty supply stores for like $.99. My hair is very tangled when I wash it, but the pack make it easy to manage.



As an african-american woman, what products are best for natural hair(unrelaxed)?

I second the Garnier Fructis. Even though my hair is relaxed I recently started usinig it, and notices that the new growth is just as soft as my relzed hair.



The conditioning mask works wonders. One thing to remember with natural hair is to change you shampoo and conditioner ever so often.

Black girls, How do you feel about black girls with natural hair and being opposed to perms?

I have natural hair and some girls with perms scolded me about it saying omg girl your hair is nappy you need a perm. I got over it. It doesn't bother me at all now.



Black girls, How do you feel about black girls with natural hair and being opposed to perms?

I LOVE natural hair. It is so different and unique. I hate that so many sistas perm claiming that it is for this and that when they know the real reason is just a complex. However if black girls wanna perm fine. Ima keep growing my hair out until i get a nice big sexy fro, and ima rock it to school proudly.



Just keep your head up and if they keep scolding you then educate them. tell them to that you are happy to be nappy and at least you arent trying to be something that you arent. maybe you need to show them this



http://youtube.com/watch?v=xGDMevuZZVM



and make them realize that the attitude that they have is the reason that so many young black girls hate themselves and wish they weren't black.



Black girls, How do you feel about black girls with natural hair and being opposed to perms?

i feel the same way my hair is REALLY curl and nappy when i straighten my hair my friends say it looks better straight so i kinda think do they not lyk my curly hair but i just deal wit it.



Black girls, How do you feel about black girls with natural hair and being opposed to perms?

In the USA, natural "black" hair is seen as unattractive, particularly in the African American community. Then again, many white women also feel pressure to straighten their hair. I applaud all women who fight the pressure to conform to unnatural, unrealistic standards of beauty.



Black girls, How do you feel about black girls with natural hair and being opposed to perms?

Just because some black girls perm there hair that do not mean every black girl need to do the same. Once you put all them chemicals in your hair it damage it. If you feel comfortable with your hair the way it is then leave along and let them get over it.



Sometimes when you put a perm in your hair it cause your hair to break and become damage if you do not take care of your hair because that is what happen to me.



Black girls, How do you feel about black girls with natural hair and being opposed to perms?

It's Great! I'm mixed and just recently stopped getting my hair permed.. it looks alot healtheier now and so pretty...and when you want it straight its okay to straighten every once in a while.. i'ts cool... yea some ppl say that to me too about the perm thing but having natural hair makes it grow longer



Black girls, How do you feel about black girls with natural hair and being opposed to perms?

i also have natural hair, but i am not necessarily opposed to perms, I'm actually thinking about getting one, but i am afraid that if i want to go natural again, all of my hair will fall out



Black girls, How do you feel about black girls with natural hair and being opposed to perms?

You have every right to wear your hair without chemicals. My problem is w/my 6yr old daughter. She inherited the long hair length from my husbands side but the thick coarseness from my side. Even an old fashion "put it on the stove" pressing comb only keeps it straight for a day. My mom says I have to wait until she is about 8 to perm it. I'm counting the days!



Black girls, How do you feel about black girls with natural hair and being opposed to perms?

having natural hair is beautiful.



Black girls, How do you feel about black girls with natural hair and being opposed to perms?

im indian and i have black friends that go to my school. 1 girl name shelly she has a natural lomg afro and every guy says she pretty and girls say shes pretty they always say oh but she needs a perm or get a hotcomb in her hair. they always bug her about her hair saying oh u know shes pretty but her hair is eww. she even told me her own grandmother say she need to do something with her hair and she also told me her family members tell her to marry a guy with my type of indian hair. i was so offended by this is told her to marry a guy who u love not because of hair. as a indian girl i can relate to u black women about hair because when it comes to hair pressure it doesnt only happen in the black community it happens in the indian community i used to have long hair to my butt when the hairdresser cut it it was up to my neck my hair is no longer silky all my indian friends bug me about getting long indian hair and telling me only indian women have strong hair unlike other girls. they always think that their hair is the best in the world. even people who are not indian always expect me as a indian woman to have hair that grow fast and silky but honestly my hair grows just like anyone else. at first i was ashame of my hair now im not and im glad u got over it sweetie. because hair is hair as long as u take care of it get regular trims and treatments u are good. dont worry about stupid ignorant people. dont change for stupid ppl love ur self and ur hair



Black girls, How do you feel about black girls with natural hair and being opposed to perms?

Whatever floats your boat!!!



Black girls, How do you feel about black girls with natural hair and being opposed to perms?

i like black girl hair because you can do alot of neat stuff with it that don't look so hot in the other types of hair! i wish i had thick black girl hair!



Black girls, How do you feel about black girls with natural hair and being opposed to perms?

natural hair is absolutely beautiful, you'll probably assume that by my icon i'm white, and that would be correct, but i'm also a multi ethnic hair-stylist. as long as you keep your hair moisturized it will be just fine, since african american well curlly hair in general is scientifically proven to be the dryest of all hair types.



Black girls, How do you feel about black girls with natural hair and being opposed to perms?

I think it's good that you wear you hair natural, you have soul. Erykah Badu, wears her hair natural as well. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Is that how you want it or do you want a perm?



Black girls, How do you feel about black girls with natural hair and being opposed to perms?

It's crazy because I just answered a question like yours. A girl asked if she should get a afro and will guys think its cute. Everyone scolded her and said afro's are gross and its 2007. I don't understand why people are scared to be themselves? Most of us are born w/ curly hair accept it. I love my hair it doesn't make me as a person, just another beautiful thing about being Black. Whatever makes you happy you should rock it. Like I told her if you look good, no one can hate.



Black girls, How do you feel about black girls with natural hair and being opposed to perms?

whats the big deal. Some people like their hair permed and others like it natural. Its all beautiful. Personally im sick and tired of the "permed/natural hair is better" debate. I think its stupid that black women divide themselves over hair. We should embrace the differences and move on. As a double minority we should find something else to focus on like equality in the workplace or holding a political office .



Black girls, How do you feel about black girls with natural hair and being opposed to perms?

well if you turn comb it...and put something in your hair to define the girls...you're going to get people calling it nappy... b/c it'll probably look frizzy...when you'r hair is wet...the curls are untouched...get it to look like that...b/c when you comb it it will look like a big puff



and make sure it's well oiled....both me and my friend wanted to have our hair natural again...but I'm just really lazy lol...



Black girls, How do you feel about black girls with natural hair and being opposed to perms?

natural is good



Black girls, How do you feel about black girls with natural hair and being opposed to perms?

when you wear a natural, it should be cut correctly and picked out. these days most brothers and sisters don't know how to wear a natural.



thats why people say it looks nappy. back in the day, you had your hair braided for a few days, then you picked it out to wear the fro. also you spray oil sheen on it after you picked it.



its a pretty hairstyle if worn correctly.



Black girls, How do you feel about black girls with natural hair and being opposed to perms?

I say some things r made 4 different people! not racist! my babies father is white! but black people perms r not our style! i see lots of black people hair fall out from perm and they wonder weres the ball spots coming from!duh! perms should be a white person thing! straightening combs!if u feel me! has been in generations 4 ever!get to em'



Black girls, How do you feel about black girls with natural hair and being opposed to perms?

go with the fro



Black girls, How do you feel about black girls with natural hair and being opposed to perms?

I am glad you accept your natural beauty
