Haha...we get that a lot 😄

You also have a gap like Serena too. How often do you all get a deep conditioner treatment and trim your ends

Are you disturbed by hair fall ? Argan Life Hair Care products there for you

It's strange but I found that when I wash my hair only once a month, my hair grows much longer

+BEONCA&TRAVIS GRAVES ahh u caught on!!! Lol "n stuff like that" we say that all the time 😂😂

Yes, a few days before getting it washed because it builds up :) We hardly put anything in our hair the first 2 weeks of getting it washed, and as it gets closer to wash days, that's when we use products :)

It also made me break out horribly.

Definitely do not leave the deep conditioner for more than a day, usually the directions give a certain amount of time that the deep conditioner should be left in your hair

+tanya danchor Thanks for the advice

1. You'll need to gradually trim the damaged ends off. Half an inch a month is a good amount. 2. Only use the neutralizing/clarifying(?) shampoo once a month as it really strips the hair and can make it very, very dry if used too often. Use a regular shampoo weekly. Nothing fancy, just something to get your hair and scalp clean. 3. When deep conditioning, you can leave it in for as little as 10 minutes, or as long as overnight. Some women do leave it in for multiple days, but try different timings first and see if it helps your hair. Check the instructions on the container, also. 4. Buns are a great protective hairstyle. To avoid your hair getting matted again, detangle it whenever you wash it. Get a cheap conditioner, and apply it liberally to your hair. Then, twist your hair into 4-10 sections, and detangle each section very carefully. Incorrect detangling can cause more damage to your hair - work slowly and do not rip through your hair. I use a denman brush and it's great at getting rid of my tangles, but I use it very carefully. Detangling is slow and boring, but it will reduce the amounts of knots, matting and breakage you are experiencing. 5. Only use combs/brushes on your hair once a week, when detangling. 6. Continue spraying water on your hair daily or whenever it feels dry, and apply a small amount of oil afterwards. This will keep your hair moisturized throughout the week. 7. Leave your hair alone as often as possible. This is key to healthy hair. Most breakage is from mechanical damage (i.e. using combs, brushes, putting your hands in your hair). If it's not breaking off, hair will keep it's length and health. 8. Consider other protective styles like two-strand twists, or extensions. You'll notice amazing hair growth and health with two-strand twists.

ggbaby247 Thank You so much for the advice!

Mya Hall no problem!

Imani Mann Thanks Imani!!! We have that issue with our scalp sometimes too. Whenever it flares up, we use a shampoo with tea tree oil in it and really massage it in while washing it. Lesia our hair stylist used a Paul Mitchell shampoo with tea tree oil in it and it really helps. Also there's this oil from Eden Body works line called Peppermint Oil ( tea tree is in it too) and I like to massage in my scalp before bed and it works really well with the itching. I only use it whenever my scalp starts acting up, and it's amazing!!

TwoLaLa I'll look into getting the products to see if they help. Thank you so much for the response!

Imani Mann I had the same problem but my mom told me to mix baking soda and apple cider vinegar and it will help with dandruff itchy n dry scalp and apply like shampoo and then moisturize with any carrier oil

I broke out a little bit when I was using BIOTIN, but since I switched to the gummies, I haven't experienced any negative side effects -erica

+N O we use the Shea Moisture one (linked in description) and that one doesn't smell bad to me

Yes they are :)

Swahili 101 You need to retain length! Do protective styles, do deep treatments, moisturize ur hair, and drink lots of water! 😊🌸

Thanks!! Yea, I noticed shedding too when I first started extending washes. It doesn't shed that much anymore because maybe my hair got use to it. Occasionally, I'll have a bit more shedding one month when I do stretch longer, but for the most part it isn't too bad :)

that's a good idea!

What a great idea! Thanks for sharing!

Charisma Wright Congrats on the baby!!! I heard that hair does shed after pregnancy but I'm not too familiar with that. What's your usual routine like? Take care and congrats again!!!

I've been co washing a lot more for moisture. And LOC method. I've noticed I get a lot of tiny fairy knots, but I guess that comes with the territory lol. Thanks so much :-)

Congrats on the baby! hair doesnt shed much at all during pregnancy...and then abt 3-4mnths after baby is born, its like all that hair that stayed put for 9mnths just falls out excessively. It is perfectly normal..still no fun. Just make sure to stick w a healthy diet and take vitamins (biotin is good) and get good rest to help as ur body adjusts back to normal n hormone levels also. Protective styles or low manipulation styles during these next few months will def help u not notice so much n therefore not stress about it. just keep hair moisturized too. best of luck! --mother of 4

Thanks so much! angelface​

Yea if you put your hair a certain way that doesn't require a scarf or bonnet, then sleeping on a satin pillowcase is fine. We like satin scarfs and bonnets to keep our wrap together at night. Wrapping our hair keeps it from getting all over the place and getting tangled while we sleep, so a bonnet/scarf is just extra security :)

Vitamins

We get our hair washed once a month, therefore we only pay once a month. We might start doing our own hair soon and go to the salon every other month..we'll see. Thanks Liya!

+TwoLaLa Yea, yall should do each others hair. I have a twin too. Twins Rule!

Adraine Holmes that's actually brilliant! haha

Deer Heart me too. I don't know what to think about that. :/

zomgseriosuly lol try satin sheets and satin pillowcase 😂😂

Shower cap Satin pillow case

Vitamin oil E

Braids-or no braids

Detangle

Seamless hair tie

Whatever you feel is the best way to care for your hair, go for it. If relaxing it is the way to go, then go for it. If you want to keep it in its natural state, go for that. Don't do it because everyone else is doing it. We're able to take better care of our hair when it's relaxed, which is why we do it. I feel like people make relaxed vs. natural a bigger deal than what it is..lol it's just hair.

Garlic oil seems to be a popular tip because a couple other people commented about this :) Good to know! :)
