No Blow Dryer, No Curling or Flat Irons, No Shampoo, Lots of Conditioner and Oils


My hair could never do that when I was burning and otherwise torturing my hair. This is the result of eight months of using henna, essential oils and the air to care for my hair.  I use Wild Growth Hair Oil, the white bottle for my scalp and the yellow bottle for my hair. Also I use Vatika Oil (LOVE IT) and plain ol' coconut oil. Any oil will do as long as it is done consistently.  Please excuse the unmade bed.

"Henna, Oh Henna, I Have Missed You"

I love the hair forums because the members provide real-life experiences that we can learn from.  Here is a nicely written article by a poster in the Curly Nikki forum named "OffandRunning."

One of the tips she gives in this article is simple yet extremely time-saving:
....I did discover a new applying tech that i will always be sticking to...the night before i applied i washed my hair detangled, and put it in several chunky twist. That morning when i applied the henna i undid each twist at a time apply the henna and move to the next one...it was soooooo easy.....i had my entire head done in 15mins top...... "Henna oh Henna, I Have Missed You..."
The sectioning of hair is helpful for any type, from 1a to 4c, and any length.
