Most women misdiagnose their actual hair type and end up with shampoos, conditioners and styling products that are all wrong for them. I'm one of them and I had to learn it the hard way over the years.
I had also used the wrong detangling oil for Cass and she ended up having coarse and entangled curly hair! Did you know that baby oil only makes entangled hair more tangled? I finally experimented with different combo of essential oils and the best oils to tame Cass' frizzy and curly hair is extra virgin coconut oil mixed with a few drops of essential oils. I mix and match the essential oils and usually use melaleuca, peppermint, grapefruit, lime, lemon and lavender. Would love rose essential oil but it's frigging expensive!
Have you always wondered what type of hair products suit your type of hair? Whether your hair is fine and straight, thick and straight or kinky and curly, different types of shampoo, conditioner and hair styling products should be used.
The flat blahness of fine straight hair (like mine!) needs volume without weight—which only sounds like it defies the laws of physics. For such hair, it's best to use a thickening shampoo and conditioner but use the latter only on the very ends of your hair and rinse it out thoroughly.
For thick and straight hair, avoid volumizers and that's it. Your hair can hold its own against any styling product (when used in moderation, of course). You have the texture to pull off almost any style. But you'll still need time and patience. Start the styling process by combing a few drops of styling oil through wet hair section by section, followed by a small dollop of styling cream.
For kinky and coiled hair, your tight curls require an intense, carefully considered approach to styling products. Your routine should start in the shower, which is a deep conditioner, but only rinse it out halfway. Conditioner residue helps keeps curls shiny and smooth. Post-shower, immediately comb through a leave-in conditioner. You can also use a curl enhancing cream to enhance natural curls and tame frizz.
If you are currently using a wig, whether it is a straight human hair wig, hair extension, virgin brazilian hair, brazilian virgin hair or virgin brazilian curly hair wig, your faux tresses need washing and conditioning to keep them clean. But do not wash your hair piece too often as often washing will shorten the lifespan. Gently wash the hair piece under cool running water with a proper wig shampoo.
Gently squeeze excess water from the wig (do not rub or wring) and lightly blot hair with a towel (do not twist or wring). You may apply a small amount of argan oil treatment throughout the hair to add vibrancy, moisture and protection to the hair piece.
