Natural Hair Care!!!

Any help on this topic, my LG hair is driving me nuts right now. What makes it hard is that she has a very dry scalp ad is forever scratching her head. I try using olive oil and it seems to make it worse. I was told shea butter was a bit to pore clogging esp given that she has a dry scalp. soon i am thinking of just shaving everything off, but it is going to grow and I will be left with the same problem so, any help more than welcome

Hi All, I'd like to share with you my journey with natural hair.

I have black natural african hair but my hair texture is soft. My daughter on the other hand has thicker natural hair than I.
I resisted having to straighten it with chemical relaxers and I researched a lot on how I can manage it.

These are some things I learnt:

1. Natural hair needs moisture so anything that strips the hair of moisture is a no!
I use an organic shampoo on our hair and conditioner. You can also wash the hair with just conditioner and that will make it nice and soft.

2. Apply natural oils to the hair while damp to retain the moisture.
Oils such as Amla, Coconut, Jojoba, castor, olive oil are great for the hair. I make a daily hair conditioner for our hair which is a mixture of all these oils with a little shea butter and it works great.

3. When combing, use wide tooth comb and work in sections....be gentle and take your time.

A little secret I learned.....castor oil grows your hair like weeds.
Had braids put in a while ago and unfortunately they were tight and some came off with my hair. I had patches and a thin hair line, after learning about the castor oil I used it and within a month, there was a difference....a noticeable difference.

My daughter's hair has been growing well, will very little breakage because I do the above to maintain it. It remains soft and manageable.

Even tho your son's hair texture might not be exactly like mine or my daughters, it is curly and kinky. So I hope this helps you too.

I love Cole's curls but now I am really stuggling with that dry patch at the back...because his other hair will be beautifully curly but then that patch is all dry.

I will see what I can find out from her and thanks for your advice about the things you use for Addy

Angelique please let me know about the products!

Addison has SO MUCH hair and its very curly! I am now blow drying it once a week as I find that helps to thin it out a bit. I dont use a hair straightener though as I feel its too harsh on her hair.

Current products I use: Olive oil Sheen spray from Clicks. A HUGE can for R39,99.
Kair spray for frizzy hair.
Brylcreem.

Addison's hair is long (halfway down her back)...so that helps, but means I really have to make an effort to look after her hair...as they hate hair being knotty and brushed...so the smoother and kink free...the happier she is as well..otherwise brushing is a traumatic threatening/bribing type event!

SO ladies.....

My son has very curly hair and I would really like growing it but it tends to get a bit dry (espcially at the back).

Was thinking we could start a thread about maintaining naturally curly/kinky hair without having to revert to using harsh products or chemicals.

There is a really great page that a wonderful lady started on FB about maintaining natural hair and about products that can be used to help us.

I mailed her this morning about some tips and tricks that she can teach us.

And also we can share things that has worked on our kids as well?

So what do you ladies think about this. I think it's important especially for mothers with LG's to start something like this at a young age..

Let me know..
