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:

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

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

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'

How do you keep sewn in weave tracks from showing in the front of the head with ALL natural hair cor

Which cornrow pattern is best for a long layered sewn in weave to keep the tracks from showing after braiding ALL natural hair?

How do you keep sewn in weave tracks from showing in the front of the head with ALL natural hair cornrowed?

You want to do a circular pattern that goes around your head, and avoid starting any braids from the front of your head. Then you'll want to sew in the weave in a way that will allow you to have a bang.

You can also leave out some of your hair in the front, and cornrow the rest. Once you sew in the tracks, you can just blend the loose hair in with the weave. You may have to flat-iron it to make is smooth. That was you won't have to have a bang.

Good luck!

How do you keep sewn in weave tracks from showing in the front of the head with ALL natural hair cornrowed?

they would have to sew the hair in or do the cornrows so that the hair covers it(ie side swept bangs and such)

btw a curly weave would conceal it more than straight one

I've been dying my hair black for 5-6 years. How do i go back to my natural brown hair color?

I've loved my hair black and others tell me they love it too, but i really wish i could go back to my natural hair color. How would i go about that without having to strip my hiar at a salon?

I've been dying my hair black for 5-6 years. How do i go back to my natural brown hair color?

Stripping it can really ruin it.The safest way to do it to just let it grow out and keep cutting it off. If you put a color over it,it won't do anything,your hair will still be black.

I've been dying my hair black for 5-6 years. How do i go back to my natural brown hair color?

you could try striping your hair yourself (buy a bleach kit) then wait a couple of days and buy some brown hair dye ( a little darker than your natural). but to let you know, i tried that, and it didnt work out quite as planned. maybe i didnt saturate the hair enough... Anyhoo, if you want to keep your hair healthy, you should go to a salon. they know what they are doing.

I've been dying my hair black for 5-6 years. How do i go back to my natural brown hair color?

i would dye my hair the next lightest shade to the one you have now, and when that starts to fade go to the next lightest. This way you wont ruin your hair as much as just dying back exactly to what it was before

I've been dying my hair black for 5-6 years. How do i go back to my natural brown hair color?

coloring shampoos. if you have black hair, it will take a few washes before itll be brown again but it will eventually change back. or you could wait to grow it out

I've been dying my hair black for 5-6 years. How do i go back to my natural brown hair color?

Get as close to your natural shade as you can with hair color and it will eventually grow out not looking as bad as it would if black.

I've been dying my hair black for 5-6 years. How do i go back to my natural brown hair color?

what u need to is this dye ur hair as light as it willl go even if u have to go blonde then u can go brown it tke some time as ur hair is black hair i saw a gril with black hair and she dyed her hair blonde not bright blonde

good luck with it

I've been dying my hair black for 5-6 years. How do i go back to my natural brown hair color?

Dont strip it..Go to the salon and have them put some foils in it...They will use bleach to bring up the color a couple of shades then they will put a color toner over that afew shades lighter than the black...Most likely a carmel color or chestnut brown....That way you will slowly get back to your normal color without going thru the hassle of stripping...Stripping involves a mild bleach all over and usually takes you to an orangey color..be safe get some foils put in..You will like it much better.....Only makes sense....

I've been dying my hair black for 5-6 years. How do i go back to my natural brown hair color?

Try dying your hair as close to your natural color as possible. Go about a shade darker though so that when it starts to fade it will lighten to about the actual color of your natural hair. That way when your hair starts to grow out, it'll be hard if not nearly impossible to see the roots. Try a brand called Natural Match. I use it and I absolutly love it. I wouldn't go back to any other brand.

I've been dying my hair black for 5-6 years. How do i go back to my natural brown hair color?

Simply dying your hair will not do the trick. Your hair has to be stripped first to avoid it taking on an unnatural color. Unless you use a bleaching agent any color you put on will not be able to deposit onto that dark of a color. I would highly suggest going to a salon to have this done though because if you strip it yourself you will probably end up frying it or coming out with green or neon yellow hair.

Are sew-in weaves good for African American natural hair?

I was thinking of a way to grow my natural hair without messing with it much until I get it to the length I want.

Are sew-in weaves good for African American natural hair?

YES! I wear sew in weaves quite a bit and my hair grows! However, make sure you have the ends trimmed every six - eight weeks, make sure the stylist does not braid your hair too tight (this could cause breakage, especially around the edges). In addition, continue to allow your hair to "breath" and use a good conditioner and moisturizer for your own hair. Last but not least, make sure that this is a licensed professional!

Are sew-in weaves good for African American natural hair?

yeah

Are sew-in weaves good for African American natural hair?

Are sew-in weaves good for African American natural hair?

Good? Not really, but not bad either. As long as they aren't too tight (red bumps on scalp) then it's perfectly fine for your hair.

Are sew-in weaves good for African American natural hair?

I would never expose my rabbit to anything unnatural. If bunny is losing "hare", kill it and eat it!

Are sew-in weaves good for African American natural hair?

It is not good but the best option. Adding false hair by sewing in weaves also creates stress to the hair by styling (toughing and pulling to style hair). It is good however that your hair is natural because permed hair along with sewn in extentions is especially hard to maintain. Most importantly, it is important that you condition and moisturize your hair (not the braids) to maintain its health and also consider its length of time (three months at the most). Bottom line is the best way to gain length is to grow it.

What is a good Shampoo and Conditioner for a natural black hair?

Okay, so Im black and I have natural hair. I love my hair to death, its awesome, lol. But I don't think I am giving it enough care because I'm not using a very good shampoo and conditioner.

What is a good Shampoo and Conditioner for a natural black hair?

When I was wearing my hair natural, I used (and still use) Pantene Relaxed %26amp; Natural for women of color shampoo. It's very moisturizing on it's own and I've never encountered any problems with it. And I have normal kinky Black hair.

As far as conditioner's go, I really like Nature's Therapy Mega Moisture Conditioner by L'Oreal. I pick it up at Sally's.
