QuoteReplyTopic: tight curled or African descent hair Posted: January 12 2000 at 5:17am
Can anyone suggest the best styling products in Paul Mitchell's line (or other quality salon styling products). I have Wax Works but it makes my hair feel dry and brittle after the application. Should I be using a different item?I wash my hair with Pantene's shampoo for dry and damaged hair (my hair is very coarse, baby fine,thin, dry and breaks off at the ends). I condition it with Pantene's Deep Fortifying Conditioner, dry it wrap style under the dry, spray some Thermasilk hoding spray on it, curl it,add some Kemi Oil and add the Wax Works. Should I be doing something different?

Caron,I hear that Paul Mitchell's Hair Repair works very well. I've also heard that ArTec Moisture Pac is good for very dry hair. I'm on a mission to grow my African-American hair very long, as it was when I was a child, so I've decided not to use any more heat styling products. I truly believe that curling irons and straightening irons seriously damage the hair shaft. I'm now keeping my hair braided or in a bun and I continuously use oil (olive oil or jojoba) on my hair and scalp, plus a leave in conditioner (Vo5 Hair Therapy). I try to massage my scalp every day to stimulate growth. After these treatments my hair feels extremely soft. Websites you might want to go to are www.wanakee.com and www.tlhs.orgHope this helps! =)> Can anyone suggest the best styling products in Paul> Mitchell's line (or other quality salon styling> products).

My advice would be to just forget about all those chemicals and treatments when your lucky enough to have the tightly curled locks characteristic of most African Americans. Fortunately, today, there is no societal pressure on modern blacks to subjugate their hair to some some outdated Caucasian derived notion of beauty. I would urge you to consider going natural and allowing your locks to grow out. I believe that you will find it to be a phenomenally powerful and expressive experience. It is far from carefree, but once you've locked up and your dreads have taken off, the hair care issues are different. A good loctician can help you through the various stages of growth, and then, once you have acheived the length you are after, assit you in the proper maintainence and care of your dreads. There are any number of web sources you can visit to familiarize yourself with this vital form of expression and image making for the modern African American.
