I'm bi-racial [black and phillipino] and people tell me I have pretty hair all the time. I have it up in a messy bun most of the time. My hair is really curly but in the front I have the african american texture of hair. Not so course tho. My hair is really soft, it tangles easy, drys out easiy, I dye it alot and can get dead ends quickly. I have product suggestions and tips for us girls with mixed hair, now they might not all work for you.
Everyones hair is different. So if you see anything you like use it but note I am not a proffesional hair care specialist. These are things I do and products I use for my hair.
TIPS:
Try to buy hydrating and curly hydrating shampoo and conditioner with low sodium content. Because we have curly hair our hair drys out quick.
Use a wide tooth comb or pick to comb out your hair. Comb from the bottom up, then when hair is combed out comb from top down.
When wearing your hair curly use moose and gel. Moose will give it volume and keep it airy, gell will keep your hair n place. Use a defuser to dry curls. Or a blow dryer on the coolest heat you have.
Straighten hair only once or twice a month. Don't wash out for 3-4 days. It sounds gross but the oil our hair folicles secreate is much needed.
when you straighten hair, use a heater blocker. Use a light amount of hair oil [african pride].
Cut your hair every 6-8 weeks. Cut atleast 1 inch, your hair will grow faster.
HOMEMADE DEEP CONDITIONER:
1 egg yoke
1 tablespoon baby oil
2 tablespoon water
Beat the egg yoke untill its frothy, then add water and baby oil and beat till well mixed. Rub in hair let sit for 5 mins and wash out.
PRODUCTS:
Dr. Mircles deep tingling conditioner
Infusium 23 leave in conditioner
African Pride hair oil
Sunsilk frizz control shampoo and conditioner
Pantine Pro-V hydrating curls shampoo and conditioner
Like I said some of these tings may not work for you... but hey u can try. Your hair won't fall out lol

ReplyDeleteDUHHHHH . . . already know all this . . . but uhhh . . . guess what the home made deep conditioner . . . . try it if u want to . . . . that is all actuilly bad for your hair, because although egg yolk is pure protein, the hair doesnt absorb it correctly, cause most people think "oh i can put this and that in my hair and it will look and feel great" . . . . and thats it, cause the moment you wash it out ur hair is back to a hott mess, because all that stuff does is coat the OUTSIDE of each individual hair and make it APPEAR to look healthy and beautiful . . .when in fact its just covering up the damage temporarily. . . . the besst way to get absolutly good hair is to eat pleanty of high protein foods, and pleanty of water . . . because the best stuff comes from within! . . . .
