also, since i've grown my hair out and have used heating elements a lot to style it, it's getting quite damaged in certain areas. i recently cut off 3", and it helped. my friend recommended joico's k-pak, but i'd like to see what the girly thread divas say.
for extremely dry damaged hair check out the african hair care section. there is many great products that will do amazing wonders on your hair. thats what i use cuz my hair is kinda coarse n gets mad knotty and nasty if i dont condition the livin shit outta it.
This is what i do and what id recommend for anybody who got thick, coarse hair like mine or dry, damaged hair like poopie.
first off, for the conditioner, Aussie 3 Minute Miracle "DEEEEEEP" is THA SHIT. But wait, make sure you dont get the shitty "original" one, you want "DEEEEEP" lol.
see where it says original you want it to say deep. they add the extra E's to make it dramatic i guess lol. But anyways, the reason im pointin out what particular kind, is becuz that original scent stuff it dont work as good, and it smells public bathroomish. but yo, the deep version, smells like fuckin heaven on a sunny day, for real yo. so good. and it will re-wet the FUCK outta your hair.
look at the different it made in her hair
K after you wash out your conditioner n all that, gently gently wring out your hair, not even wring it but jus lightly squeeze it a lil bit at a time to get the most of the water out so it aint all dripping. then take a meduim size towel and make yourself a lil towel head wrap thing, just so your hair can slowly drip the water out and the towel will absorb it. fuck blow dryin it, you gotta let it do the natural dry for this if you want it to be nice again. and dont rub it or nothing!! nooo, just let it sit. tryin to towel dry it will just make it all knotty n shit again, we are tryna get the hair to be smoothed out here, so whatever you do, dont even twist the towel aroud your hair, just lay it on your shoulders with the hair on top of it and then bring the sides of the towel to rest on top of your head, you feel me. like one of them head things that nuns wear. Or you can just leave the towel on your shoulders under your hair and not wrap it at all, it might even be better that way.
Aight, after a minute or 2 of that, when it aint dripping no more, then I use Blue Magic , a hair treatment that is made mostly of vaseline (not gross tho, dont let it fool u) with mad vitamins and good stuff for your hair in it, and coconut oil which makes it smell nice and be super silky n smooth.
The kind you want, is the white bottle with blue letters with coconut oil. there is 2 other kinds, a green and a blue, and those are different so I aint recommending that.
Also, Ima tell you right now, THIS SHIT DONT WORK FOR UNDAMAGED HAIR. If you got average "white" hair (wish there was a better way to put that, but i mean the texture of it, Im saying, fine, thin, smooth hair that aint dried out) this shit wil make your hair look dirty as hell and greasy. you dont need that much moisture. this is strickly for the people who need the ultra mega conditioning.
BUT if you got extremely dry, "feels like i got pieces of hay growing out the top of my dome" kinda hair, then it will be amazing. i jus take it after the shower, put a lil piece about the size of a quarter of it in my hands, smack em together so the shit gets all over my hands, and then run it thru , especially on the ends. (I got maaaaad long hair tho, so dont use that much if you got short hair, you dont want to put to much of this shit in or it will weight down your hair if it is not very thick.)
then when it dries it kinda absorbs the shit into the damaged hair so it dont leave like a residue or nothing, it would only do that if you like blob it on there, but if you just use a lil youll be straight, your hair will smell like coconut, it also makes it extremely shiney, and i know you got curly hair poopie, it does a great job of keeping your curls seperate and not frizzy when you put it in wet hair so thas another bonus.
THEN, i use a silk lotion in my hair once it is dry. you can use Biosilk, but that shit is mad expensive. so i use this one:
its only like 4-5 bux instead of like 15 for the same size shit, and it works mad good, you only need a couple drops.
Aand then, at the very end, to style my hair for very light hold, i use
(For a style that i want more slicked back i use LA looks "slick brilliantine" , another gel that is more solid than liquid, kinda like hair pomade.
Anyways, tho, the Pink spray, i t smells good, and it makes your hair SHINEY AS ALL HELL. Like if your hair aint comepletely reflecting entire scenes off the street after you use all these products on it, then you doin somethin wrong lol. Na im exaggerating but my point is, all this stuff, is great for dry hair. it will make your hair soft, shiney, smooth, silky, and strength it up a lil bit too. I also like the Pink spray becuz it holds your hair pretty good, without leavin ANY Kind of crunch, crust or nothing at all. I straight up wont use regular hair gel becuz it gets hard. i 100% wont do it. so you know you can trust me if i say it dont leave no crunch. Like i said, you cant over do this shit if your hair is smooth or fine to begin with becuz youll end up lookin like a drowned rat. but if your hair needs all the moisture it can get, then at the end you will be amazed at how nice and shiny n beautiful your hair has became.
Ayo, I gotta be in here now, im on my Jr. Beautician shit now! lol. ....I will be back the more I learn to answer all yalls beauty needs, who woulda thought.
Hope that helps poopie, give it a shot n let me know, i know it works like a charm fo rme.
