Thus, a good buffer may be Shea butter, Ghee (India Butter), Coconut,Sesame Safflower Oil or Glycerin Oil (which combines several of these)? <br />Vegetable Oils blend in Faster, but Lard or Crisco can blended too. One animal Oil I do like is Mink Oil. <br /><br />Play and Tinker! Melt a marshmallow in and you need less Soufflés or crusty gel that crust or wear off anyway.<br />Hair loves the sugar and marshmallow is natural one!<br /><br />There's cooking Crock/ hand Blender, then the Cosmetic one! It saves $, product, and time learning to make Soap, Shampoo, relaxer, and <br />texturizer- months worth. <br /><br />Using Google, DIY Glycerin or Lye recipes are easy internet.<br /><br /> My child is mixed <br />and sensitive skin, so I'm grateful to grow up learning this routines. Has my hair's thick appearance, but not its coarse texture.<br />Latinas love Keratin and Argan Oil which sre noticed for Softening root and treating split hair.<br /><br />To her I'm a Scientist, but in this economy, I wont buy pricey causes of Allergic reaction.

The constant stress of the hair causes the strands to give up and break off. Try to not braid the edges of hair. Try to brush hair forward in the front, maybe like bangs so you can give the edges a rest. I did it for my edges and they grew back completely. It's not about what you put on the hair topically, its about how you handle the hair. Don't perm less time than every 6 weeks. I like lye relaxers but i've tried both and it doesn't seem to matter. The only thing that made a difference was not braiding or including the front of my hair in the weaves and braids. Also, NO HEAT ON HAIR. After a perm, get some carrot oil cream and put it on your edges then wrap the hair with a bandana to make it flat, leave for 15 minutes, it will be straight. Don't use heat.

It’ll smooth the frizz down and make your hair look nice and soft. It’s not oily or heavy, or at least the one I have isn’t, mine is by the Pro naturals brand which is only sold online. It doubles as a heat protectant too so your hair won't burn when you have it relaxed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00006877747566955227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790085159362769098.post-6294986745206794242014-04-05T02:10:47.626-07:002014-04-05T02:10:47.626-07:00Kesh King Ayurvedic Hair Oil, Shampoo & Capule...Kesh King Ayurvedic Hair Oil, Shampoo & Capules is purely based on safe & harmless ayurvedic theory and Specifically used for deep nourishment of hair roots & scalp, checks loss of hair, stops premature of hair, Alopecia, Baldness, prevents from dandruff, sleeplessness & headache.try it for better result.for more information you may visit www.keshking.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15508566390767510580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790085159362769098.post-17270102335201024022013-08-30T14:26:47.434-07:002013-08-30T14:26:47.434-07:00When I used to get relaxers I only you no lye.

I can't possible believe either option (lye or no lye) is gentle on scalp. For sensitive scalps I would advice for no chemical on the scalp and just straighten with heat if you have to have straight hair.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790085159362769098.post-57192401415312195322013-06-16T07:57:44.698-07:002013-06-16T07:57:44.698-07:00OMG u just told me wot has been going wrong with m...OMG u just told me wot has been going wrong with my hair.

I personally prefer my hair texlaxed to relaxed bone straight because it looks thicker. I don't have any problems with my ends. I am able to get my hair straight (ends included) with a flat iron. <br /><br />I probably wear my hair out for about a week after texlaxing and straightening and then it's back to protective styling. <br /><br />If you are going to be protective styling 99% of the time, why do you want to relax your hair? I'm just curious. I feel that it might not be necessary. lushstrandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703835957416423278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790085159362769098.post-9612227038669588882013-06-04T13:21:49.873-07:002013-06-04T13:21:49.873-07:00Thanks for this Bassey!

Curious because like I had mentioned to you before, I'm virgin natural and I'm not sure if I should begin texlaxing on the virgin hair or go bone straight the first time, in order for my ends to come out decent after flat ironing. <br />ALSO, how many days consecutively do you wear your entire hair out after a texlax, blow and flat iron process?? Trying to see if my journey to longer strands will require me tucking my hair in protective styles 99% of the time.<br />Blessings to you! ***Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02932969766628032720noreply@blogger.com
