Affordable Detangler and Pre-poo Treatment


There are so many detanglers that are available to transitioners and naturals. I have used some that cost over $15 and gotten great results from them. I have also used some detanglers that have cost over $20 and not received stellar performance. For some time now, I have been using a mixture of V05 Conditioner and Extra Virgin Olive Oil. The cost of the V05 was 87 cents and the EVOO, I used only 4 tablespoons of this oil, so the price for that amount is probably less than 10 cents.

How did I use this as a detangler?
I made a mixture of 1/4 cup of VO5 Moisture Milks Moisturizing Conditioner and 4 tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. After sectioning my hair into four parts, I dampen my hair with water. I made sure to run my fingers through my hair to allow the water to fully penetrate my entire hair. I generously applied this mixture to my hair, and as I did this, I started detangling my hair with my fingers. My fingers glided through my hair so easily. After application and detangling process, I covered my hair with a plastic cap, and allowed the product to further penetrate into my hair as a pre-poo treatment for at least 30 mins. Afterwards, I rinsed my hair with warm water and then resumed my normal washing ritual of co-washing and deep conditioning.


Do you use V05 for Detangling and Pre-poo Treatment? What was your experience?

What to do if it seems like your natural hair is not growing

Image
@breezyspuffs (IG) If it feels like your hair isn’t growing, the issue may not actually be growth itself—hair grows about half an inch per month on average. The problem may be breakage, slow growth, or factors that hinder visible length retention. Here’s what you can do to promote healthier, stronger growth: 1. Check Your Routine for Breakage Causes: • Reduce heat styling: Excessive use of flat irons, curling irons, and blow-dryers can damage hair. Try air-drying or using lower heat settings and always use a heat protectant. • Limit chemical treatments: Frequent coloring, perming, or relaxing can weaken hair, leading to breakage. • Be gentle when detangling: Use a wide-tooth comb and start from the ends, working your way up to avoid pulling and snapping. 2. Moisturize Regularly: • Dry hair is more prone to breakage, so keep it hydrated. Use moisturizing conditioners, deep conditioners, or hair masks weekly, and consider leave-in conditioners or oils like coconut

How to get rid of split ends in Natural Hair

  @breezyspuffs (IG) Getting rid of split ends in natural hair involves a combination of good hair care practices and regular maintenance. Here are some effective ways to manage and reduce split ends: 1. Trim Regularly • Schedule Regular Trims : Every 8-12 weeks, visit a professional stylist or trim your hair at home with sharp hair-cutting shears to remove split ends. • Search and Destroy Method : If you prefer not to cut your hair often, this method involves trimming individual split ends as you spot them. 2.
