Hair Question....Answer

This is a nice conversation/ hair update with me and my Bff. I love when ppl ask question because it urges me to do more research, help them and see also what else i need to add to my regimen. Alright here we go...


What hair products do u use again? And where can I find it?


 - Well i use numerous products for now. I have a previous post about my hair regimen down below {wink wink). Im still on the search for a moisturizing shampoo with no sulfate and no mineral oil, until them im using treseme, it does have sulfate but it does not strip my hair of moisture. For conditioner i rotate the treseme for hair breakage and the VO5 moisture milk which i use for cowashing. And i always add EVOO or coconut oil to my conditioners for extra moisture.
Sulfate- strips your hair of all moisture and anything you previously added to it
Mineral Oil- Block any moisture from nourishing the hair and scalp. its pointless to have a moisturizer with mineral   oil. yuck!


I was watching one of ur vids with te castors oil and stuff*the one with the castor oil and what is evoo?


EVOO- extra virgin olive oil
Coconut oil- open your pores nourishes the scalp. good for hair growth.


Oh ok ... Ur hair looked mad healthy lol since the wedding (July) it grew bak a lot !!! But I really like the oil treatment u were doing shampoo wise I'm still using the biotin shampoo from GNC it's really good..


After my braids my hair got weak again but its back to normal, I condition once a week now. Biotin is good for the hair, im gonna look into that.

I haven't permed it since the wedding (July)!!! But I need to start treatin it Bc it's growing but it's mad dry o I kno I need some kind of moisture


Dryness=Breakage.
you need oil treatments, deep conditioner. and moisturizing and sealing your hair every night, but i only do it every other night if i have a weave in i oil my scalp with Castor oil or Wild growth oil.

U perm ur own hair or u get it done


I do everything my self except for trim.


Oh never mind I messed myself up tryna perm I think that's the only thing that I won't be doing anymore! Do u wrap/set urself too if so how? 


I stretch my perms last time was 4 month, i had braids in so my hair got tangled. now im going for 3 minimum i don't wanna risk it. i don't know how to roller set so i used to blow dry, flat iron and wrap but since my hair journey i haven't used any heat on my hair so i wet wrap. first time i did it it came out very straight and shiny.


-I have a couple links on my blog about building a regimen, whatever i can do do help let me know.


-my first step into all this was watching YouTube videos so good luck

HAir Regiment Finally!!!

MiiZd33 Hair Regiment

Please be Advise, this regiment works for me. your regiment depends on your hair texture and all that applies. Every one hair is different and after all trials and error i found something for me (i think)

8/29/2011

That is the date of when i started my hair journey. After watching 101 videos on you tube of people growing their own hair down to their bra strap. After my hair was broken off and extremely damage something had to be done. these videos motivated me and on that day i vow to take care of my hair seriously and try my best to keep track of it all. Since the end of august i only had a perm twice and its been 5 months (yay) January 29th mark 6 months of my hair journey. i really have not been consistent with length check picture but i will do one soon. 

Here's my hair Regiment (so far)

Mondays:

Conditioner wash (co-wash) with moisture plus Vo5 conditioner + olive Oil + coconut Oil. I leave it in with a shower cap for 45 to 1 hr and then rinse off

I then braid my hair in section for a wavy look for the next day. 

Thursdays or Fridays

I prepoo( pre shampoo) my hair with coconut oil, leave it in for an hour and rinse.

shampoo with treseme for breakage twice

Deep Condition with tresemme for breakage + Olive Oil + Castor Oil (JBCO) leave in with shower cap for 1hr then rinse

Air dry

Moisturize with cream of nature moisturizer

 and Seal with castor oil

Then apply JBCO to scalp in sections

i then wrap my hair while wet for a straight look.

because i have oil in my cowash i don't really need to moisturize my hair stay shiny and healthy until my next wash. 

i try to oil my scalp daily and i always add oils to my conditioner's, 

any question please feel free!!! Good luck on your hair journey!!!

Hair Oils!!! (Castor Oil)

          During my months of research i keep noticing one main thing in everyone's regiment OILS!!!. It was interesting to me and they were using so many diff ones, avocado, tee tree, castor, coconut, and more. The product we use all have these oils in them but according to research it works better to have to oil in its most natural form and apply to the hair. these oils can be used for hot oil treatment, deep conditioning, washing, pre-poo (pre-shampoo)  and co-wash (conditioner wash). all the oils do something differently but in the most interesting way.

this first one i will talk about is CASTOR OIL!!

Most ppl say all castor oil are the same but i beg to differ. I have been using JBCO (Jamaican Black Castor Oil) for some time now and i love it even tho it cost 8 dollars i make it last and it works. this is a video showing the wonders it did for me  Click here! my hair on the side completely fell out last year and wild growth oil and castor oil brought it back.. 

heres some info from Hairoils.net about castor oil:

Castor Oil for hair has been an age old remedy for many hair issues, however everyone seems to think that any old castor oil will do, regular castor oil may have some benefits but it is recommended to get a quality kind of Castor oil for hair.

When discussing castor oil for hair and it benefits it is first important to know exactly what castor oil is.  This oil is extracted from the seed of a castor plant.  This oil contains many ingredients that are not only great for hair but other issues as well.  Some of the ingredients in castor oil for hair are vitamin E and minerals; castor oil also contains some anti-viral and anti-fungal properties.   One of the best things about using castor oil for hair is that is has anti-inflammatory properties that assist the scalp and hair

One of the biggest benefits is using castor oil for hair growth.  Castor oil stimulates the scalp helping improve blood circulation that leads to healthier looking hair and growth.  Good circulation is vital to hair growth, by having good circulation to your scalp you roots and hair follicles will be properly nourished.

JBCO.com:

Over the years, Jamaicans have been using castor oil as their home grown remedy for medicinal purposes, as well as skin care, hair care and everyday aches and pains. It is now being used by many African Americans to moisturize, thicken, strengthen and increase their hair growth. Today, Jamaican Black castor Oil has crossed over into other ethnic groups, and is now being used widely for some of the same purposes as well as new found uses, including eyelash and eyebrow hair growth and as a massage oil. This is a versatile oil that carries many varied uses.

althought its called JBCO, people seems to not acknowledge the fact that Haiti also have castor oil which is the same as the Jamaican one and use for everything including hair. its call L'huil Maskreti

Hope you enjoyed and Learned something:)
