stopped my breakage |
Lead | |
|
i gained so much hair and length but i noticed that it was starting to break so i took advice from my friend (he's dominican and he has beautiful hair) i conditioned my hair with beer and egg mix.... this only made my hair super soft... at first i only tried putting a little in... but that makes the hair hard so i had to put the majority in my hair and let it soak for 20 mins rinsed it out ... i let my hair air dry but not completely while it was still moist ... (sorta wet) i added a grease to it... i would touch the grease until my finger tips were barely covered (yep it doesn't take much at all) and then i took small sections of my semi wet/moist hair and glazed it down each section (like really really small amounts of grease) after that i blow dried my hair out straight.. of course a few strands came out but after the entire blow drying process my hair hasnt broken off in 2 weeks (in counting) *crosses my fingers)

That's great Spend...Glad to her your breakage has stopped...
What hair grease did you use that cost a dollar? I tried some new stuff for my dryness and breakage during my stretch... I tried the Wave Nouveau(sp) hair lotion(it is now my staple for stretching)... It moisturizes very, very good... I bought Black Jamaican Castor oil(heavy, but moisturizes very well). I bought S-curl also... These 3 will become my staple when stretching from now on...

Hey Spend,
Glad to hear you got to the root of your problem with the breakage. I have yet to get mine under control, but I'm really trying to b/c I hate to see strands of hair in my hand or in the comb. I have 3 brands of Softee hair grease: Indian Hemp, Herbal Gro, and Hair Food(I gave this one to my granddaughter). I haven't used the Herbal Gro for awhile, but when I did, I added a couple of drops of peppermint and cedarwood eo's. Seemed to straighten out my new growth which it claims to do. Which flavor did u use? |

Yeah which grease was it. I have a blue jar of softee at home. I had bought it before I joined this forum.

This brand works wonders for just $1. I bought the indian hemp mainly for my scalp, but I believe there's a coconut oil also made by softee it's very ,very good. I had that one first and when I ran out I wanted to try the indian hemp so I bought it. So I see where you can feel guilty. I feel like I expect to have to spend more for products that really work well also. Congrats!

Re: stopped my breakage | ||

Good for you and you didn't have to spend a lot of money doing it! I've seen Softee at the dollar stores (Dollar General, Family Dollar, etc.) My sister has dreads and used Softee Herbal Hair Food (blue lid) the other night. I was thinking about using it too because my stylist says that I can grease or oil my scalp every few days.
I also have some grease by Dudley's but it says conditioner on it. I don't want to over condition my hair because I've just had my protein & moisturizing treatment and I know that over conditioning can cause breakage. I also know that dryness does too. I might use it to see what results I get. |

whenever you use it.... use it extra lightly... a little goes a long way (easy does it)

Is there any particular beer you used and how many eggs? I heard you're supposed to let the beer go stale before using it. I think I want to givet his a try when I do my deep conditioning this Sunday.
