 Is Your Hair Very Dry? Here is what you can do.

When you wash your hair, use a moisturizing deep conditioner after shampooing. Shampoos that contain sulfates can make hair very dry especially when you do not use a moisturizing deep conditioner afterwards.

Suggestions for deep conditioner: 
Creme of Nature Pure Hair Mask Jar https://amzn.to/3JGzNB6

OBIA Naturals Babassu Oil Therapy Hair Mask https://amzn.to/3urJmgS

After rinsing off the deep conditioner follow up with a leave in conditioner.
This will help with detangling hair but also keeping it soft post wash.

Suggestions for leave in conditioner:
TGIN Miracle Repairx Protective Leave In Conditioner

SheaMoisture Conditioner for Curly Hair Red Palm Oil and Cocoa Butter with Flaxseed Oil https://amzn.to/3LcZee8

During the week, check your hair daily to see if it needs to be moisturized. Watch this video to learn how to know if your hair needs to be moisturized: https://youtu.be/ufPRBjN0yhw

To moisturize your hair, start by spraying a liquid, like water, aloe Vera juice, rose water or even herb infused water like Fenugreek water, apply an oil (you could skip this if your moisturizer has a lot of oils) then use a moisturizer. If your hair is high Porosity or does not retain moisture for long, you can follow up with a hair butter like Shea butter.

Suggestion for moisturizer:
tgin Miracle RepaiRx Curl Food Daily Moisturizer https://amzn.to/3tzW9yE

If you use products with too much protein, it can make your hair dry and brittle. Learn how to balance moisture and protein and identify the products with protein: https://youtu.be/3m1W63I3mJk

Oils are not moisturizers so if you are only using oil to moisturize your hair, this might be your issue.

DiscoveringNatural Hair Coaching

  Get To Know Me My name is Sola Awe and I am so happy you found this page. I am a licensed hair coach and have been a natural hair enthusiast since 2011 after I decided to transition my oldest daughter to natural hair. I have two daughters who are both natural and lovers of natural hair. My husband is also an advocate in his own way. I have a presence on social media as DiscoveringNatural that is dedicated to helping people be comfortable with their natural hair and learn how to easily care for it.  As a child, natural hair was not embraced and when I became an adult, I struggled with understanding my hair. When my oldest daughter was 4, I struggled with caring for her hair and did not have any resource to help me out, so I decided to relax her hair. After a friend invited me a natural hair event in Houston, Texas, where I reside, I knew I have found a new passion. The next day, we started my daughter's transition to natural and I followed afterwards with mine. When I discove...

What is the difference between Jamaican Black Castor Oil and regular Castor oil?

Image
The main difference between Jamaican Black Castor Oil (JBCO) and regular castor oil lies in their processing methods, color, composition, and potential benefits for hair and skin. Here’s a breakdown: 1. Processing Method  • Jamaican Black Castor Oil: Made by roasting castor beans, which are then crushed and boiled to extract the oil. The ash from the roasting process gives JBCO its dark color and slightly smoky scent.  • Regular Castor Oil: Typically cold-pressed or processed without roasting the beans, resulting in a pale yellow or clear oil with no ash content. 2. Color and Consistency  • JBCO: Dark brown to black in color, thicker in consistency due to the ash content.  • Regular Castor Oil: Light yellow or clear with a thinner consistency. 3. pH Levels  • JBCO: Has a slightly higher pH due to the ash, making it more alkaline. This can help open up the hair cuticle and promote moisture absorption in some cases.  • Regular Castor Oil: More neutral in pH, ...

Why your scalp itches when you use Jamaican black castor oil

Image
  Scalp itching when using Jamaican black castor oil (JBCO) can result from several factors: 1. Allergic Reaction • Some people are sensitive to the components in JBCO, such as ricinoleic acid , which can irritate the skin. This could cause itching, redness, or discomfort. • If you have sensitive skin, you might be more prone to an allergic reaction. 2. Clogged Pores • JBCO is thick and can block hair follicles or pores, especially if applied in large quantities or not rinsed out. This can lead to a buildup that may cause itchiness. 3. Detoxifying Effect • Some users report experiencing itching as the scalp adjusts to JBCO. This is sometimes attributed to the oil “detoxifying” the scalp by removing buildup or impurities, though this isn’t scientifically proven. 4. Improper Application • Leaving JBCO on the scalp for too long, not diluting it, or applying it to dirty or sweaty hair can exacerbate itching. • JBCO should often be mixed with l...
