Sooo…
I grew out my hair after relaxing it for many years and I’ve only had it curly for about 2 years but still I’m lost as to how to style it. I like to leave my hair out but the products I use (conditioner and other curl products) end up leaving my hair crunchy when it dries and I HATE that. I mostly use it because without it my hair will be a big frizz ball. I’d like a product (whether it’s shampoo, conditioner or leave-in) that I can put in my hair (dry or wet) and it will keep my curls soft but manageable. I don’t mind some poof and body but I don’t want it to look dry.
PLEASE advise. Thanx!

Hey Ursula! I have been recently doing my own hair and I just can’t find the right products , so that my hair looks like I just left the salon. Also is triming your own hair a good thing? Or should it be done by a professional?
Hi Ursula,
My hair has been thinning recently and i don’t know whether its from stress or something that i’m doing. I do blow dry and flat iron my hair about once a week so that might be a problem but i love my hair straight. do you suggest any products to stop thinning? i have been using Aphogee products and just taking vitamins(Bcomplex). If you have any suggestions that would be helpful. Thank you!
I i have been going natural for the past 6-7 month and my question to you is what is the best way to style my hair without having to cut my hair. also wat are some good healthy products to use. thanks

Hi,
I have a very DRY scalp and long, thin hair. Every time I get my hair washed and treated at the salon, they keep me under the dryer for 45-50 min. When I get from under the dryer, and the stylist wants to style my hair, there is so much white, flaky stuff coming out of my hair, even after it was just washed. What can I use to prevent this from happening every time?
Thanks,
Dry scalped chick.

On 5 Mar 2011 I colored my hair black (Clairol). I never used that brand before. Then on 19 March 2011 I put an Olive Oil relaxer in my hair. My hair fell out in the middle & the back…BAD!!! Anywho I did some research & purchased a few products to help strengthen my hair & help it start to grow back. I wash my hair twice a week. On Wednesday’s I wash my hair with Matrix Biolage Antidandruff Shampoo then I put an Aphogee Keratin Zmin Reconstructor & I leave it in for 2min then wash it out.
On Sundays, I put an Aphogee Two-Step Protein treatment in. It smells really BAD but it’s supposed to work. I have to put it in, sit under the dryer & allow it to dry. It gets REALLY hard. I rinse it out after. Then I use a Nioxin for Fine Hair 3 part treatment. I wash my hair with Nioxin Cleanser Shampoo & Scalp Therapy Conditioner. I set under the dryer with the Nioxin Scalp Activating treatment. It makes my hair feel really soft & bouncy. I haven’t put a relaxer or color in my hair since 19 March 2011. I made myself a wig to avoid putting any heat to my head too. I’m trying really hard to treat it. My question to you is am I using the right stuff & am I doing the right thing?
Also, I’m going to Italy 1-21 August. I can’t wear a wig there so I want to put a relaxer & a rinse in my hair at the end of July. Is that too soon after all the damage my hair has been through? The relaxer I bought was CHI Deep Brilliance Sensitive Scalp No Lye Calcium Hydroxide Conditioning relaxer kit. Please look it up & tell me what you think of the relaxer.
Please get back to me soon. I really need some advice on this.
