Natural nappy hair?

Is it possible to make thick natural nappy hair, straight, sleek, and soft without a relaxers. i plan on going to a salon and was wondering is what i want possible. i need versatility.



Natural nappy hair?

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 have straight hair that is still natural



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 hair in sections and then use a big tooth comb and it is time the blow dry.



3. Do a hot oil treatment atleast once a month before your shampoo 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(atleast 3-4 times a week) it and your ends(everyday) so that they will not get dry and unhealthy .Petroleum jellly and mineral oil are weapons of mass destruction,it does so much harm to your hair it cannot be all explained here. So you ask what do I use...well natural oils 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. You do not need to trim your hair everytime you go to the salon maybe every 3 to 6 months.



7. Wrap your hair in a satin or silk scarf to prevent damage before going to bed.



8. Eat healthy, drink lots of water,



9 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.

you may also want to try hair straightening shampoo.

I'm not sure, but a nice style maybe the solution. I regularly put my hair into natural twists.



As for straightening - you could ruin your hair by treating it, if you insist phone the salon in advance - also find a salon that specialises in treating natural hair so they wont fob you off with the relaxers or nothing answer.

If you don't care for relaxers, you could always press or flat iron it. Try Sedu flat iron.



For more hair advice on natural hair try sites like nappturality.com or longhaircare.com.



Natural nappy hair?

Yes, relaxers just damage your hair. I'm Latin and my hair is really curly, I never though I could have a beautiful, full of shine straight hair until I went to this site: www.naturallycurly.com.Try using a good vitamin complex conditioner (I use Smooth and Shine 60 seconds critical repair ), after you wash your hair, with your hair still wet, put some rollers and sit under a bonnet hair dryer for and hour, after wait a little bit until the hair cooled off and use a good ceramic straightner ( I use Sedu) after, do rollers again but this time the satin ones. It looks like a lot but when I do it people comes to me wanting to touch my hair and asking me for advice, that's my reward for all the work I went through. Go to that site, you'll like it.



Natural nappy hair?

are you serious??



Ever heard of pressing or a flat iron???



Natural nappy hair?

no it is not possible



sorry.



Natural nappy hair?

you can get natural hair just as straight as relaxed hair it just takes a lot longer.



after washing and a deep condition you have to round brush it dry or do a blow-dry with a comb attatchment.



then go over it with a really good flat iron, like a salon quality chi, ghd (the best), or maxiglide.



for an even better result, you might want to do the saran wrap treatment.
