How to grow strong healthy hair?

Typically your hair when clean should be slightly oily. Chemicals can break down the proteins and make the hair dry and brittle causing it to break. Try some warm olive oil or pure vitamin e oil . Leave it on 5-10 minutes then wash with 'gentle' shampoo with no ammonium laureth or laurel sulfates. Ammonium acts a stripper and it dries the scalp too. So if its in your shampoo, its stripping your own hair oils too.

Are Weaves good for your hair?

I have a weave right now(it's sewn) but I want to soon take it out. I want my hair to grow long. Is there any african american girls with long hair that can give me some tips. I really need the help! Thanks

Are Weaves good for your hair?

Hi yes a weave is for your hair if it is sewn in, because your hair is growing underneath and it is protected, for there is nothing for you to do with your hair. If you have used glue please be careful when taking it out as this can take some of your hair out.

Are Weaves good for your hair?

i am not african american i am puerto rican but i have long hair and some quick tips are NO WEAVES especially not swen they rip apart the hair folicle and get a good hairdresser

Are Weaves good for your hair?

weaves are NOT good for your hair if u wear them constantly. your hair needs a break, but it can take it's toll in the long run. growing your hair out takes a good hair care regime and patience. u may also want to monitor your diet. i can go into detail if u like, but what works for me may not necessarily work for u. i had long hair, but i chopped it off. it was too hot and heavy! it was past my shoulders, and now i wear a tapered asymmetrical bob. i don't regret it at all.

Please help my hair??

First of all you shouldn't keep using so many products, that can dry your hair out, also its not good to wash your hair everyday cuz it takes vitamins outta your hair. I would find 1 good product for frizziness and just use that for a while, and see how it works, if it doesn't then ask a stylist what to use.

Please help my hair??

You really need to take it easy on your hair for a while. If you want it helathy again you have to go a while without doing things to it. I mean anything. The hairspray is making it worse. Keep doing the deep conditioning treatments. Make sure your hairdresser is using one of the warm conditioning treatments. Ask her to also add some color but with a really low volume (like 10). Just wash and air dry. Also, it's not good to keep your hair wrapped in a towel, especially if it's damaged. It just causes breakage. Use the towel to sqeeze the water out, but that's it. Good Luck!

With your type of hair you might consider using alcohol free products.

Try using Paul Brown Diamond Heads. It's a light oil for hair. I have fine curly hair and it works great. Tames frizz without weighing down too much. After using that put on some gel or mousse (alcohol free of course). Stay away from hairspray. The gel/mousse should keep you in place.

Don't wash your hair every day, but condition every day. Redken Butter Treat is a great heavy conditioner. Kind of expensive and comes in a rather small tube, but works great.

If your hair is past your shoulders I'd recommend cutting off maybe a couple inches and use leave in conditioner, biolage has a really good one that doesn't make hair really oily. There conditioning shampoo works really well to.

What could have caused hair breakeage?

To African American women: My daughter hair suddenly got shorter cant figure out why? The beautican says it thinning. We have always blown dryed her hair and that never affected it. We keep it mosturized. What can I do to solve this problem. I need solutions please. we cant figure out what could have cause this. Relaxer maybe? although she has gotten them in the past and no problem.

What could have caused hair breakeage?

It could be that the relaxer was overlapped over already relaxed strands...

do not go to a stylist that knows nothing about hair care, that is a disaster waiting to happen.

just lay off of the blow drying for awhile and do deep conditioning treatments, oil her hair, no petroleum or mineral oil products, they make hair issues worse.

What could have caused hair breakeage?

The relaxer could have overlapped where it was previously relaxed, causing breakage. Or if she wears her hair up a lot, the tension could cause it to break.

What could have caused hair breakeage?

I may be way off base here,but it sounds like what ever is wrong with your daughters hair is the stylists fault and the stylist doesn't want to admit it so she will blame it on other things. She may have over done it with a relaxer,such as over lapped it. Was a pressing comb used on her hair,because hair that is relaxed should NEVER have a pressing comb usd on it. That will really break and damage the hair. It will also get thinner.Is your daughters hair actually falling out or is it breaking off? If it is falling out,take her to a dermatologist ASAP to get to the root of the problem.

How to make my hair last through gym class?

I'm African American and have relaxed hair. I straighten it sometimes in the morning and it's fine the first two blocks, but then when 3rd block rolls around in gym, it frizzes and I have to have it in a ponytail for the rest of the day. Is there any way I can make my hair survive?

How to make my hair last through gym class?

Ha. . . I have the same problem. But PE for me is 7th period and we only have 8 periods. Well, we have to run around our school park and usually its like 99% humidity. But, hey its better than having it in 5th period, where its still morning and there is morning dew still.

Anyway, If you straighten your hair, straighten it in sections and in between sections, spray some African Pride hair oil on it. I put mine in a spray bottle. Don't put too much or the flat iron will make your head burn and it hurts like a beyotch!

Then, at night, wrap your hair in 2-4 bandanas. Then, in the morning, style it like usual and spray on some anti-frizz serum that DOES NOT CONTAIN WATER. . . because that will deactivate the straightening. Look around on folica.com. I personally use a 1" flat iron (True Ceramic Pro) and I've had it since January and it's still holding strong. I use Redken Glass Smoothing Serum and their shampoo %26amp; conditioner anti-frizz products. Oh, and be sure to use a WATER FREE heat protector.

If you are willing to spend the money, get some products of the same criteria by BioSilk or CHI. They work marvelously. TIGI's line of Bedhead works too for a cheaper effective product and as does got2be. And whatever you do, DO NOT, I repeat. . . DO NOT use ANYTHING by Conair. To be bluntly honest, those products are fer white folks, and even on my white friends, their products still FRY your hair.

Ugh, bad experience. %26gt;.%26lt;

Should i bleach my hair first?

im african american with dark brown hair and i want to dye the top hot pink. but i need to know what is the best dye to use and will i have to bleach my hair first to get the full effect?

Should i bleach my hair first?

I recommend using Manic Panic. And leaving it in for an hour or more (you can with this dye, because it hasn't got the bleach chemicals for bleach). And it isn't tested on animals

:]

Don't use Fudge or Paintbox. They don't last long. And makes your hair not so good looking.

You will need to bleach your hair to achieve the pink.

Don't forget to give it a deep condition after you've done dying your hair. [:

Good luck

Should i bleach my hair first?

please act sensible bleaching spoils ur hair .u'll be a butt of every one's jokes

Should i bleach my hair first?

can i reccomend stargazer? the products are vegan are are definitely NOT tested on any animals. i use shocking pink semi-permanant dye- its fab :D if you want bright pink hair, rather than a hint of pink, then im afraid you will need to bleach your hair.... give it serious thought for at least a couple of weeks. they sell the bleach on stargazer too.

i dunno bout urs, but on my monitor the swatch shows up rather purpley- i assure u- ive used this product many times- its def bright pink~ no purple :)

hope this helps :)

best of luck with ur funky new look :D

Should i bleach my hair first?

if you were to bleach your hair, then put a pink dye on it, after a while it would fade, and you would have to keep re-dying it every few weeks or it'll look stupid lol

good luck!
