The Key to Natural African Hair Care - Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize!
The key to healthy Black hair and growth is moisture. I just recently changed my moisturizing regiment, because while I religiously moisturized my hair, it was still very dry. I found that although I was frequenting African hair care vlogs and blogs like Curly Nikki, I wasn't truly paying attention to what contributors were writing about. I think because my hair had grown 5 inches in 6 months (when previously I hadn't achieved any growth due to breakage) and I completely repaired the damaged sections of my hair, I thought my moisture regiment was on point. Boy was I wrong!
First, I would mixed around three tablespoons of coconut oil and one table spoon of olive oil together and heated it up in the microwave (not too hot). I would then wet my hair, soaked it with the hot oil and put on a heat cap for about 30 minutes. Next, I would co-wash (wash with conditioner) the oil out of my hair, spray in Hawaiian Silky leave-in conditioner and let my hair air dry. Once it was dry, I would moisturized my scalp with my Jojoba mix, which consists of 5 drops of Rosemary, 2 drops of Lavender to one tablespoon of Jojoba oil. I then separate my hair into 11 big sections, twist each section, put on a satin bonnet and I'm done.
With this regiment, I didn't comb my hair much, once a month at best. I found that detangling with my fingers while co-washing worked just fine. Its common knowledge in the natural African hair care community that our hair isn't supposed to be combed or brushed too much and not combing worked for me when I grew my hair out over the winter.
My hair would only remain supple for ONE day on this regiment. It would literally be dried out on the second day even after re-spritzing with the leave-in. I do co-wash two to three times a week, one because I can't stand that frowsy hair smell and two, washing allows me to get some moisture. Although some may consider 3 co-washes a week a bit much for dry hair, its the only way I can get that suppleness back.
My hair had always been super, duper dry and I just thought I had to live with that fact and do whatever I could to keep it moist for as long as possible. After sticking with this treatment for eight months I realized there should be something I could do to stay moisturized, so I started researching again. I spent a couple of hours on Curly Nikki as opposed to just browsing for a few minutes and low and behold, I came across a post from a sista with baddest Afro I have ever seen in my life! One of the first things she wrote about was how dry her hair is and she went on to outline her moisture regiment.
When she co-washes, she uses around five different types of conditioner together and she doesn't rinse it out! Further, if she feels her hair is getting a little dry between co-washes, she'll spritz in more conditioner! I first thought that all of that conditioner would cause a lot of build-up and eventually be damaging, but the truth is everything the mainstream teaches us about natural African hair care is backward. We can basically do the opposite of what other people do with their hair, especially in the case of conditioning. After all, her hair is incredible! She's maintained this regiment for the better part of six years and her hair is gorgeous, so all of that conditioning must be working!
As I researched on, I came across a post about sealing with oil. The post described how sealing locks in what ever type of moisturizer you are using and aids in keeping your hair moisturized. I've never sealed my hair. I figured since I hot oil treated my hair, oiled my scalp and used a very rich leave-in, I didn't need to put in any more oil. However, it was still very dry between co-washes, even when I added more leave-in, so whatever I was doing wasn't working and my hair was telling me it was time for something new.
So, when co-wash day rolled around, I dove right into this sista's moisture regiment. I co-washed with Garnier Fruictis Triple Nutrition and Suave Almond and Shea conditioner. I repeated the co-wash three times and on the third time, I didn't rinse it out. To seal it, I mixed Shea butter and coconut oil together until the consistency was a little thinner than normal Shea butter, but not too oily. After my hair dried, I coated it liberally with the mix, but I didn't saturate it. I didn't use the Jojoba oil mix this time, because I wanted this regiment to be completely different to see what the results would be. I twisted my hair up as usually and put on my satin cap.
For this regiment, I combed and brushed my hair! I used a wide-tooth comb and a Con Air vented brush with the balls at the tips of the bristles. Although natural African hair care science doesn't condone too much combing and brushing, a lot of sistas comb and brush on a regular basis and their hair is fine. So, with this new regiment, I combed my hair out while co-washing and brushed it after putting in the Shea butter/coconut oil seal. Again, trying something new!
I must say, my hair is so dry, I didn't expect much difference. I actually felt my hair might be a bit too greasy and I would have to modify my hair style. LET ME TELL YOU!! When I took my twists out, I couldn't believe it! My hair wasn't greasy AT ALL and it was completely stretched out (shrinkage is a problem for naturals). Usually, when I take out my twists and style my hair, it poofs out into an Afro. This time, my hair laid straight down curly, as if it was being weighed down, but without the greasy, heavy feeling. I can't believe it! My hair literally drank the Shea Butter and coconut oil seal and I think for the first time in a long time its truly happy!
I went to a festival that day and literally, the first sista I passed by stopped me to ask me about my hair - Shout Out to Lovita! - and needless to say I was a little excited to tell her all about my new conditioning method! I've only done it twice and my hair looks so good, I'm not worried about build up. I'll probably shampoo my hair a couple times per month just to clarify it.
From now on, I'm going to follow natural African hair care science to the letter - Shout out to Curly Nikki! Sistas that take the time to post information about natural African hair care REALLY know what they're talking about, just look at their hair! I had to learn that if my hair doesn't look good, its not getting what it wants and needs and instead of figuring I know everything there is to know, I should take some advice and do something different. Now go 'head and Grow Your Natural!

The Best Cordless Hair Straighteners
There are many hair products on the market today but it's important to do your research before purchasing something especially if you're going to try cordless. When your traveling a lot and don't have time to plug anything in then cordless can be a time saver.
I found lots of cordless hair straighteners at Walmart that are high in quality and low in price. Here are some of the best ones: Remington 1" Anti-Static Hair Straightener, Conair 2" Ceramic Series Straightener, Remington Professional Wide Straightener, Remington Conditioning Slim Straightener, Vidal Sassoon Smooth Shine Straightener Normal to Coarse Hair, Vidal Sassoon Flyaway Control Straightener Extra Fine to Fine Hair, Conair 1 5/6" Gold Plates Ceramic Hair Straightener, Pro Beauty 1" Ceramic Professional Straightener, Vidal Sassoon Pink Nano Slim Straightener, and Conair 1" Wet/Dry Straightener. I have shopped at Walmart many times in the past and it is true that you save a lot of money on things that would normally cost more somewhere else.
You can buy the hair straighteners online at Walmart.com if you don't have time to go to the store in person. The products on this list are all high quality and most of them ended up getting 5 stars. I've never used straighteners because my hair is already straight but for all you other ladies who have curly hair this will help you get that straight look that you want. I hope this information is beneficial to you all as I enjoy helping others out in any way I can.
If you would like to know more about any of these products I mentioned just go to Walmart.com and you'll find everything you need to know. Thank you for taking the time to read this and good luck to you all with straightening your hair.

Remington Or Wigo Flat Iron - Which Is The Best Wet To Dry Model?
Both Remington and Wigo make low- to mid-price flat irons and both make a Wet To Dry model. So, if you're on a budget or can't justify spending over a hundred dollars on a professional iron, which should you buy?
Many stylists will tell you that any hair straightener under 0 isn't worth buying but I would disagree. Not every woman is going to or wants to use a hair straightener every day and for them it simply doesn't make sense or isn't necessary to buy an expensive brands. Buying a cheap model is a sensible option if you're only using a flat iron occasionally.
There are quite a few wet to dry models on the market but perhaps the two best budget models are the Remington Wet 2 Straight flat iron and the Wigo Damp or Dry flat iron. Let's take a look at what each has to offer and how they compare.
The Remington comes with 2" wide Teflon and ceramic plates with a steam vent and steam channel to allow the moisture from damp hair to dissipate and evaporate. The plates heat up in 60 seconds that you can control as are 30 temperature settings between 203 - 375°F (95 - 190°C). There's a LCD that displays the heat setting. Another feature is the audible signal that lets you know when the plates have reached the desired temperature - I like this, as there's no guesswork as to when the iron is ready; it's a feature that's absent on a lot of more expensive brands. Also, there's an automatic shutoff. It weighs 1.4lbs and costs from around .
The Wigo flat iron also features 2" ceramic plates with steam vents and channels. The plates heat up a little quicker than the Remington; 50 seconds. However, there are fewer temperature settings; a maximum of 12. Some would argue - and they might be right - that 12 settings are plenty. There's no LCD either, which won't be an issue for most. However, one feature that is missing is a signal to let you know when the plates are at the desired temperature. And, there's no automatic shutoff. The Remington is superior to the Wigo on all of these 3 points.
Incidentally, if you travel frequently, you might be interested to know that the Remington is dual voltage whereas the Wigo isn't; another point for the Remington over the Wigo.
The price of the Wigo flat iron is around , so the Remington is also a lot cheaper.
One thing you should always look at before buying a hair straightener is the warranty. Cheaper models tend to stop working much sooner than their more expensive counterparts, so having a good warranty in case anything goes wrong is something to look for. The Remington comes with a 2 year limited warranty but the Wigo is longer at 3 years, so a big plus for the Wigo.
But what about using them? Well, the Wigo claims its iron has been ergonomically designed. When you look at it you'll notice that the plates have a slight downward curve; the only way I can think of describing it is that it looks like the mouth of a dolphin, if you know what I mean? The Remington has no such ergonomic design. The Wigo also weighs less than the Remington, which makes it less tiring to use and easier on the wrists.
All in all, the Remington flat iron does well in terms of product features for its price. The Wigo flat iron lacks these features but is perhaps a little bit easier to use.
