I will continue to stress the importance of moisture when it comes to natural hair and the care of it. Here are a few oils that are beneficial to natural hair:
natural oils (coconut, carrot seed, etc.), natural butters (shea, cocoa, etc.), food-derived proteins and essential oils (lemon, orange, geranium, lavendar, etc.). All which can be found at your local health food store or neighboring street vendors, especially for those is New Orleans, New York City, Chicago and any other major cities with diverse cultures. STAY AWAY FROM PRODUCTS THAT USE THE FOLLOWING::
> Sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate (SLS or SLES)
> Petrolatum (Petroleum Jelly)
> Propylene glycol
> Diethanolamine (DEA) and Triethalnolamine (TEA)
> Imidazoldinyl, urea and diazolidinyl urea
> Silicone (
> Ethoxylated ingredients (those starting with PEG- or ending with –ETH) & MINERAL OIL
one product that I’ve discovered witht he help of two of my facebook friends, Toni & Lenice (thank you ladies)*…. is VEGETABLE GLYCERIN. Toni says she mixes Infusium Leave-in- conditioner with the vegetable glycerin and sprays it on her hair while wet. I’ve tried it and I absolutely adore it. It’s cheap. A huge bottle will run you about $7.00 and you can purchase it at Rite Aid or any Health based store.
