Dimples12553@hvc.rr.com is my email address. I can share with you some recipes that I use. - Dimples12553 Sun, 21 Sep 2008 12:04:13 +0100 http://naturalhaircareguide.com/index.php/Hair-Care-101/Hair-Types-and-Structure/Work-with-your-type.html#comment-249 dimples, please share some of those recipes. i just did the BC (this is my 4th time) but first time doing it to be all natural. all the other times were just because i was bored with my hair. i'm learning a lot of new things, like shampooing really isn't all that great for your hair (or i should say using store bought products from walmart, grocery, etc...). i am multi-racial, so there has never been a one size fits all solution. what works for my mom's hair doesn't work for me necessarily. i've grown so tired of relaxing and texturising. the burns, the styling, products, the heat damage. it's too much of a mission. i don't mind investing the time on my hair as long as it's natural. my appearance is very important to me. on top of that, trying to live life as organically as possible, is my ultimate goal. for some one who is a newbie to natural hair, PLEASE, help a sista out. any advice, products, styling, daily care, etc, is welcomed. i feel as though i can rely on the truth from a person, rather than just some company who is selling a product. thanks. - photogirl Sat, 20 Sep 2008 11:08:05 +0100 http://naturalhaircareguide.com/index.php/Hair-Care-101/Hair-Types-and-Structure/Work-with-your-type.html#comment-232 Sherri, have you ever thought about using natural products to controll the dandruff? The manufacturers of dandruff shampoos are not in the business of clearing up the condition permanently, or who would be there to purchase the products. With essential oils, you can get to the root of the problem and possibly banish the problem once and for all. There are several essential oils that you can use to control your scabbing and the dandruff. I have several recipes that you can try. - Dimples12553 Sun, 24 Aug 2008 16:46:22 +0100 http://naturalhaircareguide.com/index.php/Hair-Care-101/Hair-Types-and-Structure/Work-with-your-type.html#comment-91 I just cut the relaxed portion of my hair off. I have dry scalp to the point of dandruff and scabbing. My stylist recommended that I use Nizarol shampoo and to only wash my hair every two weeks and to condition it with Shea butter. She said that the goal is for me to not have to wash my hair with shampoo but because of my scalp issues I should use the Nizoral every other week and then every 3 weeks until my dandruff problem is resolved. hope this helps. - Sherri Sat, 12 Jul 2008 14:48:19 +0100 http://naturalhaircareguide.com/index.php/Hair-Care-101/Hair-Types-and-Structure/Work-with-your-type.html#comment-41 Hi Ashes2Beauty, I can empathize with you. Pressing does gradually change the texture of your hair. But knowledge is power so now you know you can do something different. You may want to go and visit an actual dermatologist and have them look at your scalp and make sure that you don\'t have some type of underlying medical condition. That is the best that I can tell you write now but I will research how to have a healthy scalp and put it on the top of my list of things to write about very soon. Thanks for joining and thanks for sharing. - AmyM Thu, 05 Jun 2008 12:45:38 +0100 http://naturalhaircareguide.com/index.php/Hair-Care-101/Hair-Types-and-Structure/Work-with-your-type.html#comment-35 I went natural back in 2003 at the time I didn\'t know what or how to take care of natural hair :? so of course I started pressing and curling my hair. As time went on I notice I started to lose the orginal hair texture or pattern :x , in otherwords I wasn\'t able to do certain styles like afro puffs or twists without my ends looking really straight :cry. Since then, I cut my hair again trying to start over now that I have plenty of information, but I\'m still lost with what type of hair regimen to begin with or how often to do certain things. I do know that I have a type 4b/c and my scalp is really dry not to the point of dandruff, its just dry and so is my hair. Can someone help me please to guiding me into the right directions as to what or where to begin :? :grin. All I want is to have a healthy scalp once I achieve that evrything will fall into place. I can be emailed @ my personal email @ williams_adelle@yahoo.com - ashes2beauty83 Wed, 04 Jun 2008 14:05:45 +0100
