First I learned yesterday that people actually put yogurt in their hair via twitter from the lovely Aphropuphs. Would I have ever thought to put yogurt in my hair? Not at all!!! It's starting to sound as if, whatever is good for you to eat, it is good for your hair!!! So just whip yourself up a yogurt smoothie for a good deep conditioner (Ooo I learned that DC is short for deep conditioner today, YAY me!!). So Aphropuphs's recipe included full fat yogurt mixed with honey and banana. I really suggest you follow this "natural hair nerd" (her words not mine LOL) and get more informations on the yum yum good hair conditioner.
So what I really learned today was that Henna was a permanent dye in your hair. Well you may be laughing, but when I think of henna I think of the red or black tattooish designs that many Eastern women wear, that completely fade overtime. But nooo, not in your hair!!! Oh wait, what else did I learn on twitter today LOL mixing henna with a DC (I learned that today, it means deep conditioner LOL) will keep it from taking. This information brought to you by the lovely Aphropuphs's. So my only question now is, how long will the color last if you mix henna with a deep conditioner?!!!
The social networks are a great wealth of information for hair obsessed newbies. I've learned so much in the past year and a half...the biggest lesson I've learned though is that every head of hair is different and no one is the expert on YOUR hair. One person's holy grail may end up in the next person's trash pail (hee hee). Experimenting is so essential! For example, I've found that henna mixed with a conditioner works just fine for me and gave me good color. I've also found that a recipe with a bunch of yummy stuff literally good enough to eat (banana, honey, avocado, and coconut milk) did not leave my hair as lusciously moisturized as I had hoped and as others reported, but it did leave my hair deliciously strong!
ReplyDeleteSo...listen to the advise of all of the natural hair gurus (and I follow a ton of them) but in the end take their experiences with a grain of salt. Try it for yourself and see how it works!
LOL, it is very interesting, but it I don't particularly know about trying it all! I love all of the information and I am well aware that what work for other's may not work for my, but also you will never know unless you try. Too expensive for my blood LOL!!! I really want to try the henna! I don't have time for experimenting with natural oils and other concoctions, I will take it slow to find something that truly works for my hair!! Thanks for the post, enjoyed it much!!
