Natural Products

Yesterday I went through all of my hair products and I pulled out everything that wasn't natural. Anything that had cones, PEGs, PVP, fragrance, sulfates, you name it I got rid of it. I am unsure about the Ecostyler Gel. I did keep it because I got such great results when I used it and then of course I had to keep the Silk Elements shampoo because they say that only shampoo with sulfates can remove products with cones. I'm not sure if I will use it again.

Natural Hair PIctures May 29, 2012

Here are some pictures of my hair from May 29, 2012. The 3 strand braid out added some texture to my hair so that it didn't just look like an Afro, but I'm trying to find the method that works for my hair. As you can see it has grown quite a bit since January 2012.

Two Strand Flat Twist Out on Natural Hair

This past week I wore my wig. So the weekend before I flat twisted my hair to my scalp in rows from front to back. So my hair was done up in flat two strand twists in rows for a full week. My hair had just been washed so it was wet, I parted it in sections using a rat-tailed comb and then I added a bit of Ms. Jessies Curly Meringue (as a moisturizer) and some Eco Styler Gel (for hold). My hair was twisted beneath my wig for a full week. When I came home from work I would pull off my wig and wig cap so that my scalp and hair could breathe.Here are pictures of the products I used and the results.

 

 

I am going to try a flat twist out again this week. There will be some changes: I will use a different moisturizer and of course it will only be twisted down overnight rather than a whole week. I want to be sure that it is the styling method and not so much the product that helped me to achieve this style. This style gets two thumbs up for me!
