Q and A: Tenderheaded Girl Probs

Question:

What can I use in my hair to style it better?? Im so tenderheaded and it always feels like im using the whole bottle/jar of detangling creams that I have and my scalp is sore sometimes after styling my hair. I wash every two weeks. I co wash every other day. I deep condition every week and moisturize daily. The products I'm currently using are Shea Moisture Raw, Shea Butter conditioner and shampoo, As I Am Co Wash, Shea Moisture Smoothie, Curling Soufle and Deep Treatment Masque and Anti Breakage Mask and olive oil.


Answer:

This is a great question! I think a lot of women are tenderheaded and it can sometimes be a deterrent when considering going natural and it shouldn't be!  Styling your hair starts with your hair care routine. As with anything, too much of a good thing is a bad thing. Over washing will strip your hair of its natural oils and ultimately make it harder to moisturize and detangle.  I recommend simplifying your regimen.  Less is more!  Try co-washing then deep conditioning just once, one week.  Also, detangle as you do your protective style.  This will make it easier to detangle and you will use less product. Start from the ends of the hair and work your way to the root.  Apply your oil then style that section.  Mist your hair with water and moisturizer at night and in the morning should keep you from wanting to wash those soft, lustrous coils! The only styling product I use is Shea Moisture Smoothie and Eco Styler Argon Oil Gel and let me tell you, just a swatch of each per section is more than enough! Seal that with your oil of choice and you got it made!!! Hope this helps!

Stay Beautiful
