What is, "Cholestrol in the african american aisles."?

Whatever this is, it's supposed to help my damaged hair. What is it?

What is, "Cholestrol in the african american aisles."?

IT just that! If you read the ingredients there are a lot of fatty based elements. Its the same idea of putting Mayo in your hair, but you wont have the disgusting food smell. Its really good for you hair especially if you color or straighten it often.

What is, "Cholestrol in the african american aisles."?

A wonderful hair conditioning product.. try it, doesn't matter what hair type you have, unless you have VERY thin, flat hair. You'll love the soft, healthy results.. I knew a girl who had damaged her hair badly (she was always trying new things, she was in cosmetology school.. dye after dye, extreme heat) and she starting doing a treatment maybe once a week and her hair came back to life. For best results put a shower cap or warm towel on and apply low heat from a blow dryer. It's also very affordable.. can't go wrong.

What is, "Cholestrol in the african american aisles."?

use it only if you have African-American hair. otherwise, it get's your hair greasy looking. i tried the Pantene shampoo for african-american hair, and it was a complete disaster. my hair is really frizzy, but it didn't work.

the cholesterol keeps the hair conditioned.

What is, "Cholestrol in the african american aisles."?

it's just really, thick, hair conditioner. (i'm assuming you don't have "black" hair) not sure what is made from, but I think it resembles lard-kind of. it's SUPER power though-unless you've really, really fried your hair, just use other conditioner for damaged hair.

What is, "Cholestrol in the african american aisles."?

It is a conditioner that you use to moisturize and strengthen your hair. When I do a deep conditioning treatment I leave some of it on mixed with honey, put on a plastic clear shower cap and sit for about an hour or two and then rinse it out. You hair will be soft and moisturized. It's a very good product. I recommend you get a jar, or two. :)

What is, "Cholestrol in the african american aisles."?

It's a deep conditioner that leaves your hair soft but not "greasy".

I need help getting waves (african american male)...?

Use Murray's Hairdressing Pomade, start at your crown keep brushing forward, then put on a wave cap an let sit over night or ever how long.

Is "nappy" a simple descriptive word, or is it considered a derogatory term?

I had never even heard the word "nappy" -- my wife had to define it for me -- until the Don Imus uproar. Now that I know it defines the tight curls of African-American hair, I'd like to know if it is also considered an insulting word in itself? Is it neutral, to say that people have straight, curly, or nappy hair? Or is it something that people would take offense at?

Is "nappy" a simple descriptive word, or is it considered a derogatory term?

nappy is a descriptive word.

however, historically it was used negatively to describe black people's hair as undesirable and that is why it now has a negative connotation especially when non-blacks say it.

Is "nappy" a simple descriptive word, or is it considered a derogatory term?

Nappy can also refer to hair as being "disgusting" (ie unclean or some other displeasing appearance), say you hadn't washed your hair in a week, some would describe it as 'nappy'. so yes it can be very offensive, true or not.

Is "nappy" a simple descriptive word, or is it considered a derogatory term?

To me, a nappy is what you would call a diaper. Ho hum.

Is "nappy" a simple descriptive word, or is it considered a derogatory term?

its one of those double standard words, if a black person says their hair got wet in the rain, and now its nappy that's fine

but if a diff ethnic group say the same thing it's offensive im black, as if it matters

Is "nappy" a simple descriptive word, or is it considered a derogatory term?

NAPPY IS JUST ANOTHER FUC-KEN DESCRIPTIVE WORD.....FUC-K, NOW WE CANT DESCRIBE WITHOUT BEING SHUNNED????? I'M HALF WHITE AND HALF HISPANIC.....I SAY THAT EVERY ONE SHOULD BE TREATED EQUALLY...BUT NOW INSTEAD AMERICA IS PUTTING BLACK PPL HIGHER THAN THE REST BECAUSE THEY FEEL BAD FOR THE FUC-KEN PAST............IF BLACK PPL CAN SAY "OH LOOK AT THAT WHITE ***" NO ONE SAYS SHI-T ..I SAY FUC-KEN GIVE ME A BREAK.......AND I'M NOT JOHN STOSSEL....SORRY FOR THE LANGUAGE.

Is "nappy" a simple descriptive word, or is it considered a derogatory term?

Actually, Nappy, like the other "N" word is derogatory, depending on who is using the word. A better word for non-african americans would be Natural....please and thank you. PJ

Need help finding a stylist in socal?

Hi, im pretty new to socal (pico rivera area) and im trying to find a stylist who is experienced in doing African American hair.

Can anyone provide a few that don't cost an arm and a leg? All I need is a trim really, and my hair is less than shoulder length. Thanks

Need help finding a stylist in socal?

Lots of the professional product sites have salon finders. For example, go to http://www.redken.com and you'll find a salon in your area. Wellla has one too. Another good way is to just ask people where they go. Co-workers and neighbors are good resources. If they don't like the last place they went, they will be sure to tell you and if they do have a salon or hairdresser they like, people usually jump at the chance to share that too. Good luck

Any cute hairstyle for teen?

4, nice choice heavy side bangs are soo sexy right now

Any cute hairstyle for teen?

yesss go for it!! I think you'll look better with straight hair, so get a flat iron and straighten it every morning.

Any cute hairstyle for teen?

#4 is best !!!

Any cute hairstyle for teen?

i would suggest growing it out because if you cut it itll look like a hott mess lol.

Any cute hairstyle for teen?

i pick #1 cause i think u would look nice with str8 hair

Any cute hairstyle for teen?

i would go with this one...i love it myself your hair is too curly those girl have strat hair .......... if you want to get up in the morning at 5:00 i would get this one thank email me the pic when you get your hair cut megy501@yahoo.com

Any cute hairstyle for teen?

i would definately go for the first one , a side sweep or side bangs are very in right now. side bangs with stick straight hair is what everyone wants right now, just make sure if your planning on straightening your hair before you dry it to put some serum or smoothing creme on it to prevent frizz i recommend frizz-ease by john freida , its about 7.00 for a little bottle , but a little bit goes a long way . good luck :)

Safe, cute and fierce(?) hairstyles ;)?

I recently got a haircut and am letting my hair grow. its just now getting back to shoulder length. i don't want to put too much heat on it. what are some cute hairstyles i can do that will not damage it. i already do ponytails, half -ponytails and braids. If you have any other ideas please give instructions too. if you know anything about curler rollers add that too. thanks

By the way I have dark brown African - american hair. Its really thick and its not shoulder length yet ( about two inches above shoulder length)

Safe, cute and fierce(?) hairstyles ;)?

I have the same type of hair and I roller set my hair once a week using big curlers and sit under the dryer. Once my hair is dry, I use a hand held dryer and brush my hair in a wrap motion. This leaves my hair with maximum body and a nice sheen. I wrap my hair each night and I do not have to put heat on my hair until the next week. If you are trying to let your hair grow, the ponytails are not helping. The ties you use on your poiny tails will eventually cause your hair to break off. The roller set and wrap strategy help to give your hair a shape and mobility. My hair looks like a white girls after I am finished and moves like it too.

Styles After Braids?!?! HELP!!!!!!?

I've had my braids (tie zillions) for a little over a month. I have a lot of new growth and it's starting to get on my nerves. I need suggestions on a style (african american hair) that I can go to until I get my hair braided again in a week or two. Help!!!!!!!

Styles After Braids?!?! HELP!!!!!!?

Maybe some cornrows or get all braided up and wear a wig. Or just wear it up in a ponytail if possible.When I would get my braids taken out my mom would cornrow the top of my head and let the rest of my hair hang out.

Styles After Braids?!?! HELP!!!!!!?

did u wash it?

Styles After Braids?!?! HELP!!!!!!?

wash, deep condition, rollerset

Styles After Braids?!?! HELP!!!!!!?

I would have to agree with the response of wash and roller set. After taking braids down your hair needs a rest from stress such as heat or chemicals so a roller set would be the most friendly on your hair. Plus, having a lot of curls is a cute look nowadays.

What is your view on locks and African American women going natural.?

I'm in my twenties and after years and years of damaging my hair I decided to go natural and I love it. Sometimes I do feel out of place but I whole heartly know this is who I am without any cover up. I am a beautiful queen but why do i feel like the world looks at me differently because of a hair change. I definately feel more inpowered. It's just very differnt for me. For instanced I have walked into a room full of women, having my natural look and they just stare and aren't open to interacting. I could really care less. I would just like to know why and what it is those certain type of people,(u know who u are) are thinking. I haven't changed. I don't always outwardly expect bad reactions that isn't the case here. I just get them oppose to when my hair was straightened i was more excepted.

What is your view on locks and African American women going natural.?

It saddens me that you are experiencing this behavior. I am half black and have very frizzy curly hair. I do not straighten my hair.

I did for a while a while as a teen . I hated that I could never get my hair wet or just wash and wear it.It was also very damaging to my hair and scalp. I love the look of natural hair.... especially the twisted locks looks. Often times when I see a women with her hair in a natural style I find that I 'want" to talk to her more ... I found that when my hair was straightened people treated me like I was prettier ...men and women. So I have felt some of what your experiencing... not sure you can do anything about it though. I feel good about my hair and I do not disencourage my natural texture.

Could it be that you have great head of hair and these ladies are staring at that??? Maybe they are jealous.

My mom does not straighten her hair either ... hers is more kinky than mine. She has wonderful thickness and texture.

What is your view on locks and African American women going natural.?

I am fine with Black women going with the natural look(s)

I think the people that have issue with it have some issues with hate on some level (either of self or of the fact that people are different).

What is your view on locks and African American women going natural.?

you are sick. i've seen some of your answers rac115.

i think that you should remain natural. natural is beautiful

What is your view on locks and African American women going natural.?

really? people really stare in negative ways because of your natural hair? are you sure? maybe theyre staring because of your beauty?

personally, i prefer people - all people- to stay natural. natural is TRULY the most beautiful anyone could ever be. im glad you finally took the leap to go natural once again.

its too bad that society sort of hails straightened blond hair to be the number one choice, but ***** society! BE YOURSELF! natural is the way to go!

What is your view on locks and African American women going natural.?

I started wearing braids on and off for about 3 years, for the last 6 months it's been strictly braids. I think there's two things that happen at least from my prospective. Black women who do not have their hair braided or wear their hair natural seem to look down upon you. Like how dare you do this? White woman, love it. You don't know how many people I work with (all white women) have complimented me and just really seem to love the look. I can't say why people are like this. But I have noticed it.

What is your view on locks and African American women going natural.?

if your pretty enough you can get away with just about anything,,

What is your view on locks and African American women going natural.?

Some black women never succumbed to the pressure of "eurpeanizing" their hair. Naturals, short hair cuts, braids, locs, etc. styles absent of chemical alterations have always been around.

I am a black woman who begin the process of "returning to my roots" about 3 or 4 years ago. I cut my hair short to get rid of the relaxer and then begin twisting my hair to train it to loc. Now, the locs have formed and are forming (it is a process, you have to be patient), and are approximately medium length. I wear them up, down, with hair accessories or not, depending on the occasion.

And contrary to some beliefs, I wash and moisturize them regularly. People are fascinated by them and assume that I'm muslim or jamaican. While I did begin the journey for spiritual reasons,( an outward expression of an internal quest), the style is less cumbersome than when I was "frying," "dyeing" and "laying it to the side."

What is your view on locks and African American women going natural.?

stick with the chemical relaxers.

Horse shampoo??

is horse shampoo good for african american hair? i have short hair* just above my shoulders* and i want it to be longer

Horse shampoo??

Horse shampoo is probably too harsh for your hair and might strip it of it's natural oils. Your best option is just to wait until your hair grows out - despite many people saying that trimming your hair will make it grow faster, it won't. Hair doesn't know when it's being cut so it won't respond by growing faster.

Horse shampoo??

Mane and Tail is great.....

Horse shampoo??

theres this particular horse shampoo Mane and Tail sold at most watsons stores.They are best for both horses and us humans.

Try that one.Its bottle is in yellow/blue colour.

Its very moisturising and it not only makes your hair straight but adds shine to your hair

Horse shampoo??

it doesn't only work for horses, it also works for us humans, i tried it and it helped me make my hair healthy so it grew faster... mane n tail to be exact..

Horse shampoo??

You want to be careful which one you choose... Cabellina will dry out your scalp and make you flake.... Super Cabello is ok but you don't want to use it regularly....Mane-N-Tail is the best and you can even use the bag balm to grease your scalp....It is usually available at Sally's Beauty Supply.

Horse shampoo??

yah.. mane %26amp; tail is highly recommended!

Horse shampoo??

Mane 'N Tail has great products. I use them all and watch and see the difference. Dont buy the other products with horses on it. Buy Mane 'N Tail only. I buy my products from Rite-Aid, Sav-ons and Beauty Supplies Stores.

Dandruff after Shampoo?

I have dandfuff and sometimes after I wash my hair, before I condition it, i can see that the dandruff has not been removed from my scalp. How can I remove the dandruff from my scalp.? It's been suggested that during the hairwashing process I use a toothbrush on my scalp but what product will help..unstick the dandruff from my scalp? BTW I have a relaxer and African American hair.

Dandruff after Shampoo?

Dandruff is just dead skin, so to remove it, a physical action like using a toothbrush is a good idea. You should use Head %26amp; Shoulders shampoo regularly, but not every day. Two or three times a week is quite adequate. Doing it more often dries out both your hair and your scalp skin. Chemicals may also do it.

Dandruff after Shampoo?

OMG! i have the same problem! Selsun Blue helps alot.

Dandruff after Shampoo?

If you still have dandruff after washing your hair use head %26amp; shoulders.

Dandruff after Shampoo?

Hey...

I've had dandruff for quite a while and I've found that for me, at least, none of the shampoos work. I think the one that worked the BEST but not really, was Selsun Blue. I mean, it would go away for a bit, but come back again after a week or so. The only advice I can give you is to wash your hair everyday. That worked for me, and now my dandruff is nearly gone.

I mean, I know that people say washing your hair everyday strips it of moisture and natural oils and all that stuff, but when you have dandruff, I'm pretty sure that's the only thing that'll help.

Dandruff after Shampoo?

Buy Denorex it smells bad but it takes dandruff out!!

Dandruff after Shampoo?

A herbal rinse is a safe method of removing dandruff. Apply lemon juice with the rind on the scalp .After 5 minutes wash off with shampoo and water. More simple remedies at http://usefulinfo-dandruff.blogspot.com/

New hairstyle.?

Chin length in the front and bangs that come to about my nose. I also have african american hair texture.

Will Curlaway work?

I have this product called Curlaway and it is a relaxer that is supposed to straighten my really curly hair without chemicals and I wanted to know if anyone has it, how long it would take for african-american hair like mine to straighten out fully?

Will Curlaway work?

DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!

if you are having problems with you curly hair try using products from the sites

www.blended-beauty.com

www.curls.biz

these sites have products that can work wonders for your curly hair making it more manageable depending on your hair type and its natural.

Trust me I used to straighten my curly hair with relaxers and my hair was manageable but not the same as having it natural as you have the choice (curly/straight). You might want to try curls milkshake to soften the curls, and to straighten the hair try blended-beauty's straightening glaze and/or pearl and use ceramic straighteners this also helps to keep the hair straight for longer.

Check out the sites before you make up you mind.

Also stay away from grease or mineral oil and petroleum (petro-chemicals) there are other grease alternatives if you use these types of products.

Will Curlaway work?

FYI... Curlaway is not the type of relaxer you are thinking of. It doesn't not chemically alter your hair and is COMPLETELY REVERSIBLE. Report It

Will Curlaway work?

dont do it! go to someone professionally it might cost you some extra money but it wont damage you hiar. thy know how to take care of youre hair!

Will Curlaway work?

Sure!

Will Curlaway work?

If it is a non chemical relaxer you are going to have curly hair after your done using it . That is the same as trying to make someone blond with a glass of milk, not going to happen .

Will Curlaway work?

Why are you asking people who are as clueless as you are? Back in 1994 a product called RIO came out that claimed to be all natural (the spokes person even dipped his hand in it and ate some on the infomercial). People ordered it in droves thinking they could say goodbye to the salon for life. Well, it turned out to be too good to be true. A few months later the lawsuits started popping up when the hair started falling out. I saw one of the models from the infomercial crying hysterically on t.v. as she pulled hands full of hair out of her head with no effort. Her career was ruined because her hair was falling out in clumps. I made a lot of money doing haircuts and giving bi-monthly deep conditioning treatments to RIO victims in 94-95. Leave chemicals to the pros. No such thing a chemical free permanent relaxer

This question is geared toward african-american women, which is healthier sow in or bonded?

i also want to kno, if u get the sow in with human hair can u still style the hair as usual? how long does it usually last, and where is a good place to get it done in chicago?

This question is geared toward african-american women, which is healthier sow in or bonded?

sow in cuz ur real hair grows really fast with a sew in but a bond in will take ur hair out and make it extremely thin trust me i no

This question is geared toward african-american women, which is healthier sow in or bonded?

okay,

the sewn in weave is the healthiest bcause there isnt any glue to break off year hair and there is no heat involved. also the sewn in weave is the saftest and healthiest because the hair is braided and also there is no heat involved unless the weave is being straightened or curled. also all they do is use a needle and the sew the weave into the braids.

Which electric shaver is best for African-American men to use?

I'm tired of using razors, and I don't feel like going to the barber to get a shave. I need a shaver that will help eliminate razor burn and bumps, while getting all the hair off my face. Any suggestions on what brand and model I can buy?

Which electric shaver is best for African-American men to use?

I use a panasonic, I forget what model number it is but it works great for me because it does not cut the hair below the skin. If I use a shaver or razor that gives a very close shave then I will get razor bumps. You have to check if a razor will cut the hair right at the skin level, you will still have a smooth shave but not below the skin and when it grows back it wont curl back into the skin. Forget using manual razors, throw them out and never go back, get an electric razor that does not advertise that it cuts below the surface, and do not buy the ones with the three circular blades.

Does anyone recommend a reasonable hairstylist in Huntsville, AL?

They have to be able to do african-american hair. Preferably natural hairstyles or someone who is experienced in cutting hair.

Does anyone recommend a reasonable hairstylist in Huntsville, AL?

I live in AL, but I live in Birmingham. I really don't know any stylists up there, but I was going to say that if you go to a beauty/cosmetology school, they can recommend some really good stylists (if they're nice). My sis was in cosmetology school and I saw her instructors do it all the time. Good luck!

Chi vs maxiglide?

i just want to know a few questions about chi and maxiglide hair straightners:

1. which one is better for african american hair?

2. which one is cheaper?

3.which one last longer?

Chi vs maxiglide?

I've only used the maxiglide. I've had it for a year now and it still works fine.

For me, I like the Maxiglide because it is not just ironing the hair but with its little teeth, separate and straighten my hair. My hair is all natural, super kinky, and very coarse, and full. When I use flat irons they simply iron the kinks flat. The maxiglide gets my hair super straight and silky.

I believe that the maxiglide cost less.

Chi vs maxiglide?

hey girl my dad is half black half mexican and my mom is half chinese half japanese i have had a maxiglide for 3 years now and i love it! go to linens and things for a good price. and i can't tell you anything about the chi all i know is the maxiglide is amazing!!!

Chi vs maxiglide?

check out a brand called superstar flat iron by Fauruk I believe that are professonal we use them in our salon and they are professional so they are used daily on many clients. So, they are durable and run around 100-150 dollars

Chi vs maxiglide?

I say CHI all the way! I have the most damaged hair, and you would never know because i use a chi flat iron. Annnd im half black...so i got that CURLY thick, coarse hair. It works miracles for me.

Chi vs maxiglide?

CHI!!! Most certainly! Had mine for 4 yrs.. Never will change.

Biosilk,CHI silk infusion or REDKEN?

ok so i want to straighten and press my hair but it is african american hair and really nappy and course like i mean rlly

im tired of always going to a salon and paying a lot of money to get it pressed

so i was wondering if after blowdrying or before flat ironing it what products i should use that would be best for my hair

ive heard CHI silk infusion, and BioSilk and Redken Smooth DOwn are good products for straighter results

but tehre are soo many choice

please tell mw what you think!

thanks!

Biosilk,CHI silk infusion or REDKEN?

I had a biosilk and a chi.. and

i would have to say that ..

well.. i mean u have ur advantages and disadvantages with both..

the chi is awesome.. and does the job real well.. but its not as strong as the biosilk..

the biosilk however is so strong that if ur not careful it can leaver pieces of ur hair permanently straight.. and since it heats a whole lot.. and fast.. u have to be careful that u dont leave it on ur hair for too long.. cuz it can burn it easily.. as for the chi it doesnt do that.

Biosilk,CHI silk infusion or REDKEN?

I have used BioSilk and I love it.My hair is very dry and all I need is a little bit.Like a pea size.It makes hair smooth and gets rid of frizzys.The CHI straightner is the best one out there from what I hear(I personaly dont own it)but im sure the CHI silk infusion probably works awesome.

I would try Biosilk.Good luck =)

Where is a good place to get a haircut in Las Vegas?

A simple cut is 30 bucks in Vegas............. That is kinda high compared to Los Angeles. Anyone know of any good spots that are within reason (price) that specialize in all types of hair (especially African American hair)?

Where is a good place to get a haircut in Las Vegas?

Robert Cromeans Salon

Where is a good place to get a haircut in Las Vegas?

Try the Boulevard Barber Shop. It's on Charleston Blvd, a half-block east of Las Vegas Blvd (the "Strip"). A haircut there is $9 or $10. When I lived in Vegas, that's where I went. They do all kinds of haircuts, and the last I was there, both a man and woman worked it, so you should be able to get the haircut you want.

I need help with African American baby's dry scalp?

I'm not sure if I am caring for my 2 month old foster son閳ユ獨 hair/scalp correctly. He has a ton of beautiful hair! But his scalp is always very dry, it's not like cradle cap it's just dry and flakey. I know I'm not suppose to wash his hair as after as white babies, so I only wash it like twice a week with Johnson閳ユ獨 naturals baby shampoo. I have tried baby oil after his baths, different kinds of lotion and pink oil but nothing seems to be helping. What can I do?

I need help with African American baby's dry scalp?

I know someone just told you to wash his hair with dandruff shampoo, but please, please please don't do that!!!! I took care of two little girls who were African American (AA --in the interest of typing speed and space I'm abbreviating) and their mom left some great instructions (NO, she didn't split on her children, she was deployed to IRAQ in the first Gulf War).

She told me to do a "top%26amp;tail" everyday, but not to actually immerse them in water everyday. I would get a soft washcloth with a bowl of water and oatmeal soap (baby soaps are harsh ph -- not good for AA skin). I would wash their face first, then their feeties, then wash their diaper area. As for their heads, I only washed their hair once a week, but she told me to put a little olive oil on my finger tips and rub their scalps down really well BEFORE washing their hair. Then I used a really mild shampoo (I just kept buying the one she had which was Nexxus Humectant, or something like that) and focused on the HAIR, not scrubbing the scalp. You can also get some creme rinse to keep the curls nice and soft. Just remember to put it on the hair, not onto the scalp.

I always used a lot of lotion as well. Use something very natural that is paraben free like the stuff from Burts Bees.

Is it possible to do more Hot oil treatments and deep conditioners during the summer?

I know the summer time can reek havoc on hair especially African American hair. So can I up the number of jojoba oil treatments and deep conditioners I do.

Is it possible to do more Hot oil treatments and deep conditioners during the summer?

Yeah. You can use hot oil treatments and good conditioners anytime to help your hair. I like sleeping in conditioner and washing it out when I wake up in the morning. It leaves your hair extra soft and healthy looking!

Im mixed but i came out with "thick" hair?

OK im young and well i have never really liked my type of hair,not saying that african-americans have bad hair or anything but i want my hair more like my friends-shes white and alittle mexican and alittle asian so she got the easy hair.I have already tried a relaxer,but that didnt work or at least the person who did it did a really bad job, i wanted it to be curly like and straight but it didnt it was the same so if anyone has any suggestions on how to get her type of hair please answer, cause im not exactly happy with my hair not that you shouldnt but thats how i am i hope i didnt make anyone feel bad by this question and if i did im sorry i didnt mean to say anyone had bad hair but i just dont like my texture on my head......Thnx for everyone who answers you will all help so thnx!

Im mixed but i came out with "thick" hair?

I HAVE THE SAME HAIR TOO! :)

Use:

Eden Body works hair care or Kera care

Use a Fhi or CHi turbo flat iron

Fantasia Frizz Buster

If You want permanently straight hair(Until it grows back again):

Use the Japanese Straightening system, it ranges from $500 to $1200(depends where you go) You might need to get it every six months(Thats what the lady told me).

Im mixed but i came out with "thick" hair?

try sunsilk hair products. worked great for me. The only shampoo I use now.

Im mixed but i came out with "thick" hair?

Go to a pro to get relaxed. All my friends of the darker color use a chi straitening iron. You have to go to a salon to buy it.

Im mixed but i came out with "thick" hair?

a messy bun with bangs always work with me but instead of doing messy bangs i use a low pony tail my boyfrind think dat it iz cute and spunke

Im mixed but i came out with "thick" hair?

My friend owns a high end beauty salon and one of his best selling treatments is the Japanese hair straightening process. He says that it is the best on the market, but it can cost a couple hundred to get it done. This is probably as close as you will ever get to having the type of hair that you desire. unfortunately, you will have to get the treatment every six months or so, as your hair grows. I recommend that you discover a way that you can work with your hair without the treatments. Some of them can be very hard and damaging. You don't have to look like your friend, be beautiful in your own way!

Im mixed but i came out with "thick" hair?

Use Chi straightners. They're around $99 to $120. YOu can get them at your local supermarket, salon, or drugstore. Paul Mitchell hair products work really great, but they are a little pricier. If money is an issue, try Tresemme hair products. Theyre about $4 for a huge bottle of shampoo, and it makes hair amazing. Don't worry, i bet youre hairs goreous anyway! Mixed girls always have pretty hair! :]

African americans help?

how do african american woman get their hair really silky like white people withought getting hair extensions please help and i dont want it to b over $100 thanx

African americans help?

hey im afro american too

and what i do is just go to my hair dresser.. which is a white hair dresser and tell him that i want it straight. and he works his magic and they know what to doand it can come out in the way you want.. mine comes out straight .. sikly and beautiful

but at home.. what i normally do is.. instead of putting a whole lot of heaton my hair i just blow dry it.. and when i do.. make it straight as possiable.. and it normally gets straight.

but when i do that i just use a brush.. or a comb brush. and

use that to make it straight..

what you have to do is use the brush.. and place the blowdryer over it and just pull it straight down that ppiece of hair.

it is very simple.

Which style is more attractive on African American women?

I've been having hair drama for the last 6 months. So much so that I had to whack it all off and start over again. Bad relaxer, bad hair color, too many chemicals. Now I've got about two inches of hair that's starting to get thick and curly...tight curls as in small afro. I had chin length relaxed hair but am now considering going and staying natural. I notice that on television commercials the majority of actresses have natural tresses but in movies I see the opposite relaxed look. I've been hiding under a wig for about 2 weeks now and I envy people who can just get up out of bed and just go with no worries. I know that men love longer hair, my husband is one of them but I wonder if society thinks it's better to wear the hair naturally? In my case it is very thick and without relaxer very curly. I need real answers because once I go back to a relaxer there is no turning back so I want to make my decision with sound advice on style. Any links would be nice. I am a teacher

Which style is more attractive on African American women?

Natural hair is becoming something of a fad right now. If you do stay natural you have to realize that its a commitment especially if you want it long. you have to learn how to deal with your hair all over again. Mainstream america prefers relaxed hair still but you will meet people that likes the natural look as well. I personally love my natural hair but it does get exhausting between the smug looks and snobby comments but i wouldn't change it for anybody. Check out:

I found an article .. hope it helps!

Which style is more attractive on African American women?

i think you should grow it out some and instead of gettig something that will make your hair permantly straight just use a flat iron when you want it staright again. Think about it. if you get a perm ,what if you decide to wear it natural again?? you will have to cut it off again. a flat iron will be easier because you can switch up your styles easily. You can have it natural one day and straighten the next day

hope this helps!!!!

Which style is more attractive on African American women?

I love the glossy, spirally look on African-American women. I also love braids. I also think Afro can be super stylish...depending on your face-Shape, personal style..whathaveyou.. One of my good friends is African-American and she wears lots of wigs...All of them CUTE!! But, then again, I also agree that men prefer long, natural hair. I don't know a whole lot about you, however, I will give my best attempt at an answer... Don't do the relaxer. Don't do anything fake. Go Au Natural... If you hate it, you can change it later...But you won't hate it and neither will your husband.

Which style is more attractive on African American women?

Currently i have long hair and have been learning alot so...

i do not have a relaxer i stopped getting them 5 years ago ( and i've only have 3 relaxers in my life time so this is all natural) so i can show you how to take care of hair with or without a relaxer.

1. The shampoo, unfortunately many black women are using shampoos with alcohol and petroleum jelly. step away from them. Use Aveda's shampoo.. specifically the name is Brilliant...go to the website. I use it, i love it, it mouisterizes my hair and the products are natural. i have also heard that KeraCare is good.

2. Okay, step two condition it and then it is time to comb it out, Do not use a brush on you hair when it is wet,,it will hate you for it then break off in revenge. Put your your sections use a big tooth comb, to untangle it

3. Do a hot oil treatment atleast once a month with extra virgin olive oil...repeat..EXTRA VIRGIN olive oil..not the regular stuff. unfortunately i have yet to take this step however my hair is doing great.

4. Okay on the daily basis you need to pay close attention to your hair...i recommend conditioning your scalp(3-4 times a week) and your ends(everyday) so that they will not get dry and unhealthy Petroleum jellly and mineral oil are weapons of mass destruction ( in other words do not use grease) it does so much harm to your hair it cannot be all explained here. So you ask what do I use...well natural oils grapeseed oil(it defects heat so good for those who use flat irons like me)

jojoba oi, extra virgin olive oil, sesame oil, emu oil, coconut oil...all these natural oils and more love you..i promise.

I also use Aveda's Brilliant ( the name of the brand) emollient for my ends.

5. Next,,if you want your hair straight but still be natural it is time to get a freakin good flat iron.,i have the Chi..it does the job but I recommend getting the Sedu because of the good reviews. make sure to protect your hair..i have so thermal protector from Aveda.

6. If you have a relaxer ( i have heard that Mizani and Affirm are the best relaxers) don't continue to relaxer all your hair everytime you go to the salon..just the new growth and try to stretch relaxers as long as possible.

7. You do not need to trim your hair everytime you go to the salon maybe every 3 to 6 months.

8. Wrap your hair in a satin or silk scarf to prevent damage before you go to bed.

9. Eat healthy, drink lots of water,

10 take multivitamins, and fish oil pills you can get from GNC.

Follow these steps and life will be good..the best part about flat iron (which i do once a week or every two weeks not everday since it will kill your hair) is that it is not stringy but thick and healthy, yet straight and light enough to blow in the wind. However any time i want to wear it all natural, i can just wash it and not wait 3 years to grow it out like having a relaxer to wear it natural.

Which style is more attractive on African American women?

I know this situation may seem bad now, but trust me, it's a blessing in disguise. There are so many women that have to cut their hair off and start over and they end up falling in love with their hair. I'll give you a couple of websites that really helped/still help me in my natural journey.

you can use a gel to control your curls and define them, or if that isn't strong enough, use a wrapping lotion.

you could also try straightening your hair-use a ceramic straightener, and use a little hairspray to keep it from frizzing up.

How do I get Dreadlocks?

Im trying to grow out Dreadlocks. my hair pretty much standard african american hair so im wondering how i just go about it the right way so it looks nice.

How do I get Dreadlocks?

Comin from somebody who has drealocks(ive had them for 9 months now)i suggest the twist and pin method...i have the same hair type as you...go to a salon and see how much they will charge you for it...and they will twist your hair and ull come back every couple of weeks and they'll wash them with the twists still in your hair and re twist them...also i recommend not to use wax cause its hard to wash out use locking gel theres a brand called Jamaican Mango and Lime gel it works...your hair will grow faster....you will see a difference in your hair in about 4-6 months...and after a year or two they will be fully locked....i say go for it cause i love my dreads and im about to dye mine. Dont listen to the people saying that u shouldnt wash them....that is the fastest way to ruin you dreads...

How do I get Dreadlocks?

Roll your hair constantly and don't wash it.

How do I get Dreadlocks?

well i got mine done, they put honey in my hair, rolled them up and then i didn't wash my hair for a while. ive had them for a year and i'm taking them out now.

How do I get Dreadlocks?

i call em sh*t locks

How do I get Dreadlocks?

I would start by going to an African braid shop getting your hair twisted first and they can start dreading it from there.

How do I get Dreadlocks?

Depending on the texture of ur hair. I recomend u use stout and egg,apply evenly on ur hair and allow to dry to some extent. while the hair is damp, begin rub the hair with ur palm on one dircetion.THE FASTER U RE, THE BETTER THE RESULT TILL THE HAIR IS TOTALLY DRY. If u can afford a salon,Ithink its the best.

Hair cut? it feels like a seinfeld question.?

okkk......first of all let me say I am not racist in any way, shape or form. However saying this I just moved to the city, where there are mainly whites and blacks. Now down to the question. I have never had my hair cut by an African American, and now I've had two, from different people too. Horrible job!!! Is it racist of me to ask for a white hairdressor. I mean, I know beauticians go to beauty school to cut ALL types of hair. How do I know what to do? :/

Hair cut? it feels like a seinfeld question.?

No, that is not racist. I have never had my hair done by a white and I don't want my hair done by a white who doesn't know about the natural hair of a black.

If you are going to ask for the white person, do it over the phone so that you do not cause trouble. Do it discreetly. You don't want to upset the people responsible for making you hair beautiful. Artists are sensitive and they may all stick together if they work in the same shop.

Hair cut? it feels like a seinfeld question.?

Easy go to a salon where they have mostly white hairdressers.

Hair cut? it feels like a seinfeld question.?

I all depends on how you want your hair styled. Not to be racist in any way, but different cultures have different ways of cutting and styling hair. Do what you feel MOST comfortable doing

Hair cut? it feels like a seinfeld question.?

No, you are not racist. Just go to a salon and ask for the name of someone you see working there that you would like to cut your hair, and then put them down on the list when you sign in or make an appointment.

Hair cut? it feels like a seinfeld question.?

Those black chicks probably hate you and did it on purpose.

I am hoping to move to South Jersey in September, and I need info.?

Me and my sister are ready to relocate and we have chosen the east coast. I will be attending Temple University in Philly but my sister wants to be outside the city and has chosen Jersey. I need info as far as things to do in or aroung South Jersey we are young 18-25 crowd and we like hip hop/rap, poetry, and sports (basketball, football, ect...) also the names of some good hair stylist in Philly and s. jersey would be great also. One who specializes in braiding or is just good with african american hair.

I am hoping to move to South Jersey in September, and I need info.?

Gloucester County--Woodbury, Deptford, Mullica Hill, Mantua, West Deptford, Cherry Hill area... Short commute to Philly (I can actually see the skyline from my house here in Woodbury) and allows you to go to Philly easily within 10 minutes. Good hair stylists is are everywhere

I am hoping to move to South Jersey in September, and I need info.?

You should check out Mount Laurel. There is a great young crowd, and ALOT to do, plus it's accessible to alot of things.. mall, supermarket, the highways. It's only about 15 minutes from the bridge.

I am hoping to move to South Jersey in September, and I need info.?

I would say look into Pennsauken/Cherry Hill area. It's really close and the bridge leading directly into the Center of Philly is right down the highway. All but a 5 mins ride. And public transportation..if nessecary..is very convinent.

African American Hairstyle Question?

I have a medium sized afro, (I'm half black and white) and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what type of hairstyle I should get? This is my first time growing my hair, and though I like the afro style, I want to try something more professional looking. And another question I have, what is John Legend's hairstyle called?

African American Hairstyle Question?

If you want to keep your afro, you must cut it low and have it shaped and lined. The look is the same look that Ludacris had when he first took his braids out. To have a real professional look you need to keep it very low. John Legend's hair style that he wears sometimes is called twisties. His hair is always neat. I think he is a excellant person to pattern your hairstyle after.

African American Hairstyle Question?

my hair is l long all the way to my butt and it all the way African American hair and hairstyle

African American Hairstyle Question?

I am not African American, but a nice hairdo might be small dreadlocks (not thick!) and put it back into a pony tail. I have seen this before and I really like it. ITs something new and different to try, why not? But please dont do big dread locks, because i think they are kind of disgusting. HOpe this helps!

African American Hairstyle Question?

Get it twisted by a professional stylist. John Legend has like a low afro. But sometimes he twist it then he may comb it out.

African American Hairstyle Question?

john legend hair is short dreads

African American Hairstyle Question?

John Legend had little dreads or twists. But since you wanted a more "professional" look i think you should get a low cut or waves. You could also get your hair braided (cornwrows) if you'd like.
