I also sit under a hooded dryer when I condition. I find that leaving condition on overnight makes it harder to rinse residue. also you should braid your hair at night and wear a silk scarf to aide in the loss of moisture. my husband doesnt care for the natural look so I wear my hair straight or with extensions. my hair is pretty healthy and it grows much faster.

Whats your diet like? That impacts your hair or try fish oil supplements.

As far as products go, its completely trial and error. My staples are shea moisture shampoo (the golden label), coconut oil or olive oil.

Do an apple cider vinegar and water and wash with shampoo every other week and co-wash in between weeks.
I've been eating lots of vegetables lately but my diet is still lacking.

So are u gonna get a relaxer after they are out?
imma just do it like i do my daughters, bantu knots. and just let em stay knots until i need to go somewhere then take em down and let the spirals fall, but first imma need to grow more than 4 inches of hair. not sure if imma keep rocking braids til it grows out cuz i enjoy my thick nappy edges and errybody i know that wears braids for extended amounts of time aint got no edges. so fukk that. i have been seriously thinking going back to creamy crack tho. cuz i dont think my hair is ever gonna be long like it used to ever again. im thinking bout just keeping it cut short.ive seen alot of cute short haircuts but they all require a relaxer. its frustrating as hell tho. i just know i was tired of looking like florida evans.

Bantu knots annoy they hell out of me to do. Cause my hair is so thick. Would u have like a boys cut? My mom wears her hair like a guy and it works really well for her. Her hair texture is different from mine. It's straight.

I don't have a desire to go back to the creamy crack I just wish I wasn't so damn braid challenged. I've been eyeballing Havana twist.

I've seen u before when u made those videos. I think a short cut would be good for u. U don't need a relaxer for that

been drinking that stuff since I was a kid. just thought I had a decent grade of hair.
I hear its disgusting but i want to try it. And lol you probably do have a decent grade of hair and the cod liver just keeps it nice.

Dress feminine or wear big earrings and your hair wont seem so boyish.
