QuoteReplyTopic: MY HAIR!!! Posted: July 18 2006 at 7:41pm
Hi, i'm new to this website, but I have a couple of questions. My hair is shedding now, it sheds realllyy badly, and I'm not sure, so I am going to cut my hair and hopefully get it styled like eva pigfords hair *Americas Next Top Model* what do i need to use, to get it that wavy? and will my hair grow out wavy, or will it stay short forever. And can anybody help me with my hair falling out, I get my ends trimmed, and I got protein put in my hair, and its still breaking off...SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
I'm not at all sure how to get eva's hairstyle but your hair won't stay short forever if you take proper care of it. What type of protein treatment did you use? And are you sure its not moisture you need and not protein? Are you sure your hair is shedding (white bulb on hair) which is healthy or breakage (no white bulb) which is unhealthy?
List your regimine and products you use so we can help you more
I'm not sure, what the name of the protein was, i went to studio 10 to get it done...I when to a salon, and the lady said, thats what i needed...i use everything from doo grow too dudley's prodcuts...i usually wash my hair when danderuff starts to re-appear, its kind of weird that my hair starts off thick, and then at the ends, they are thin. I'm sure my hair is shedding, even if i was to shake it, pieces would be falling out.
I think you need to get a good moisturizing shampoo and conditoner and also a deep condtioner( i use ors replenishing pak) and a good moisturizer (i highly reccomend s-curl) and some oil to seal it in (i use africa's best herbal oil)
To thicken your ends up maybe you can use castor oil
No I've never heard of Cowashing, but if it it might help, then I surly will try it...what is it??? Oh and thanks so MUCH for the given tips!!!! Is the s-curl okay, since my hair is still in a relaxed state...my hair is still straight, since I haven't cut it yet.
cowashing is washing your hair with conditioner instead of shampoo....its done for is moisturizing benefits since shampoos tend to be harsh and/or drying. they're usually done with cheap conditioners like vo5 and suave.
s-curl is great for relaxed or natural hair so yea you can go ahead and use it.
Too much protein can actually damage hair. Also look at your eating and exercising habits. A healthy you = healthy hair. change your s&c and if that still doesn't help go see your doctor. HTH
Polysorbate 80 and castor oil is wonderful for thickening hair. Garlic shampoo and conditioner is excellent for shedding, a good brand is Nutrine. The Baggie method is wonderful for thickening ends. Maybe you can do a search for the baggie method here. If it is not, then I will post it for you. I have thick, full ends, and my ends were jacked up. I saw results within a month.
Oh!! I would love it if you could give me the instructions on the baggie method, I looked it up on this website, but nothing turned up. I never knew there was a method for making my ends thicker, I'm so happy that I do know, that there is a method now!!!
Hi beautyqueen and welcome to the board. I agree with everything the ladies have said. It is important to have the proper balance of protein and moisture so when you do a protein treatment make sure to use a moisturizing conditioner afterwards. Try to deep condition often using a conditioner that is made for deep conditioning, sit under the dryer w/ a plastic cap for 20 minutes or cover your hair in a hot towel to help the conditioner penetrate. Make sure you are moisturizing daily w/ a water based moisturizer w/ no mineral oil or petrolatum in it and seal the moisture in w/ a light oil such as olive oil or wild growth oil. Also, watch your heat use, this is so important because heat is very damaging, whenever you do use it make sure to use a good heat protectant. I see the most growth when I reduce the heat. HTH

Just got my polysorbate 80 today, when I saw the UPS truck pull up at my house I ran out and met the driver in the driveway, grabbed the box and commenced to prepooing. I just applied it to my dry scalp (is that the way it's supposed to be applied? Can it be use in other ways) How are you using your castor oil? I mix mine with my MTG.
Well I have braids right now, but when i use the castor oil, i usually put it ion the roots, and i really dont' have a regimen. I just go to a beautician and she washes it and trims it *when needed* and thats it.
