Hi All,
Thanks to all those who regularly write in to me with queries about your hair. Always happy to help and always glad to hear from anyone who reads this blog. I thought it would be handy to post some of the questions that I've had over the last few months.
QUESTION:
"I would REALLY REALLY want to start my own hair care regimen and have done all the research from numerous sites for black females hair. I would just like to know what products would greatly assist in reparing my dry, damaged, short and brittle hair".
ANSWER:
When I started my journey I used the DooGro range of products, I bought their shampoo conditioner and a moisturiser. Then I started on a regular wash regime (once a week) and started recording what I did and when I did it.
I then changed over to the phyto-specific products after reading about how great they were, but continued doing regular washes and keeping a hair diary /journal. I do recommend the phyto products but they are quite expensive so I only order them as a treat every so often. I also like the Joico K-pak range
I did find that it didn't really matter too much which products I used, as long as I kept to a strict regime and kept a record of what worked for me. The hair journal also helped me when I felt demotivated, or when I thought my hair wasn't growing, because I quickly realised I was retaining length as the pics showed how my hair had looked in previous months.
I tend to stay away from anything with ingredients like parafin, petrolatum or Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. I
Also cold whether and indoor heating, is awful for our hair so try and keep it moisturised throughout the winter - protective styles can help with this and also helps stop breakage that can occur from cotton shirts. (Collar breakage)
