Tips and Secrets

[collegegirl]

I think it would be cool to discover new ways to do things, how to do things that I never new how to do, or never thought of. Like with clothes, and cooking, and hair.

Speaking of hair, here's one: if you want shiny hair, put baking soda in your shampoo. Not the whole bottle, but when you put the shampoo in your hand, put about half of a tablespoon or more (depending on your type of hair) in the shampoo and mix it up. Then wash your hair like regular. It really works! I love the results. It says it is supposed to help remove build up from shampoos and hair products. Also, when you do a final rinse on your hair, rinse in the coldest water possible, and let air dry. What else?

[blessed]

hmmm... interesting is that for all types of hair

[collegegirl]

Yes, I don't see why not. I have tried it on mine, and it works wonderfully. Another thing is if you add conditioner to your hair, don't rinse it all of the way out. Rinse out about only half, and I usually do it right before I get out. What type of hair do you have?

[blessed]

A hairdresser told me that i must never wash out all the conditioner out of my hair so i know that one is true. u must always leave a little in

[Babyruth]

I don't know about leaving conditioner in, at least for my hair. I have pretty curly, dry hair, but if i leave some conditioner in, it makes my hair weighed down. Also, if I put it in the top of my hair, it makes it even drier. A deep conditioner is the best, as well as hot oil treatments. I would like to know if anyone knows of a particular shampoo or conditioner for curly that actually works, I would be grateful. I've tried a few and they mostly just smell gross and dont' do much.

[collegegirl]

I love curly hair! I have wavy hair, and it holds curly pretty well, but you can do so much with curly hair. I have actually heard not to use detergents on curly hair, and not to brush curly hair, but to use a wide-tooth comb, or even your fingers, to comb it out when it is wet. Have you ever finger-combed conditioner into your hair when it was wet? It feels SO SILKY! When you dry your hair, blow dry it if you are using a diffuser. It helps give your curls shape, or if you don't use a blow-drier, when you step out of the shower, don't twist squeeze your hair. Take a large, dry towel, and scrunch it until it is about 50% dry. I know someone that has very curly hair, and she tried it, and she said her curls turned out great. Also, what you could do is make a conditioner spray. What I do is take about 80% warm water and 20% conditioner and mix it in a spray bottle, and spray it on my hair.

I have curly hair also, and i've found that it's not the shampoo or conditaer that makes a diffrent on my hair, its the mousse, I don't know if you use mousse or not but the type of mousse i use determans if it's going to FrIzZy
or nice and calm haha. And the best i've found is "TRESemme" and i've tryed
all kinds, also for dry hair or scalp Green Tea shampoo and conditaner works
well yuo can only get it at a bauty store but it's good

[collegegirl]

I rarely use mousse or gel, but I have heard that mousse works really well on curly hair. Do you use a diffuser at all? Thanks for giving a name brand. Has anyone used the Fructis line? It comes in a lime green bottle, and I have heard it is really good, but I try not to spend my money on very expensive hair care products unless they work.

[Unregistered]

i have used Fructis shampoo and conditioner it's good but all shampoos and conditioner have worked in my hair (i've tryed many lol )so i can't really tell you if it's great or not.

[Babyruth]

I use shampoo and conditioner that moisterizes my hair, neither are detergents. I never brush my hair when it's dry unless I want to scare someone. I normally use my fingers in the shower, very gently because it does cause my hair to come out much easier. I never blow dry my hair because it makes if frizzier and not as healthy. I scrunch my hair with a towel and without, and use tons of mousse. I don't normally use gel because it makes my hair sticky and I can feel that there is stuff in my hair. I get tired of always having to put something in my hair, and mousse is the best because you don't normally feel it, like gel. I would like to find a shampoo or conditioner that helps curly hair specifically, but I'm not sure if there is one. Like I said, I've tried a few and most of them don't do too much.

[Unregistered]

blah i don't like useing gel it makes my hair stiff and it flakes and makes
it look plasterd to my head haha

I would like to recommend a book to you. The only thing is that I cannot remember the name and author of it. If I run across it, then I will get you the title and author. It is written by a woman with curly hair to women with curly hair, with tips and secrets on how to take care of it. What makes it so good is that she has written the book with personal experience. It might take a while to find the book though.

[Babyruth]

That would be great, thank you!

[collegegirl]

Okay, here it is. You can find it on www.barnesandnoble.com, and the name of it is Curly Girl, and it is by Lorraine Massey and Deborah Chiel, and it is about $10. They have several other books, but I have read this one, and it is good, and I am recommending it to you. I try to recommend things that I am sure of, or have at least used, or familliar with.

[Babyruth]

Thank you very much! I will look it up and check it out.

[blessed]

One thing i will not recommend anyone to use is gel and those hair sprays that stiffen the hair, i used one about a week ago and from the next day my hair has been dropping. Now i have to go and do a steam and treatment to prevent it from dropping. Or else i will get bald :eek:

[collegegirl]

Well then, if you go bald, then you don't have to worry about washing your hair, you just have to slap on a wig! :bigsmile: I don't use hairspray very often. I like to joke around and say that my brothers use more hairspray than I do. :D (which they do!) Does anyone know any alternatives to hairspray? I have read a little lemon juice mixed with water will help a little.

[blessed]

Lemon juice and water? i have never heard of that, have u ever tried it. I really don't think i will like to go bald, i might be tempted to wear some really funky wigs :D .

Guys usually use more hair stuff than girls, isint that strange, i know this brother sometimes his hair never moves now i know why lol

[MarieLenora]

My hair has gotten longer in the last couple of years, and as it's gotten longer, the ends have started to look less healthy. I'm trying to leave a bit of conditioner in it, trying to put leave-in conditioner in it...

What do y'all do for your ends?

Any tips would be great! :p

[collegegirl]

Have you tried any hot oil treatments? Also, I hear that the Fructis line has split end treatments, and one girl was talking about using it. She said it worked to well that her b/f thought that she had trimmed her hair again. (This was at school). I have yet to try it b/c I don't get out to stores much, but when I can I am going to try it to see if it works. Caution: Remember, any item in a name brand line is going to cost a lot!

[blessed]

i have a problem with split ends too, do the hot oil treatments work for those cause i have tried almost everything. I have heard of the fructius line ( hope i spelled it correct) is it good and what's the price range for it.

In the caribbean things like that are usually expensive especially if it works.

[collegegirl]

I will have to check, and I will get back to you on that.

[blessed]

Thanks alot

[collegegirl]

I am going to try it out, also. I would also like to see if it works.

[MarieLenora]

Thanks, girls! Maybe I'll try the fruiticus line--or the hot oil treatment... or both!

Though, I do have some faves for everyday maintenance...

I love Aussie's DEEEP 3-Minute Miracle conditioner (I use it almost every day)
And I also love John Frieda's "Step 2" spray--it's basically a spray/leave-in conditioner that includes lots of great vitamins, etcetera.

I know that the JF line is more expensive... but it's not as bad as salon prices... or Bath and Body Works!

God Bless!
:)

[marichino_freedom]

I dont care for the fructis line....it works great at first, but after about a half of a bottle, it turned my hair frizzy and really dry.... but that was just my experience

[collegegirl]

Well I have found that the very basics, very inexpensive stuff works great on my hair. I am not one for a lot of products in my hair. I try not to use heat on my hair, either.

[marichino_freedom]

true, i usually stick to suave or salon selectives. i have found a leave in conditioner that is fantastic (its a split end mender/detangler) and its TIGI bedhead and it runs between ten and fifteen dollars for a bottle (this is the ONE hair product i splurge on) and it last for quite some time because all you really need is 3-4 squirts

[collegegirl]

(its a split end mender/detangler) and its TIGI bedhead
Which product line is that?

Oh, and I haven't quite brought myself to buy a bottle of Fructis hair stuff yet. :D Just still too expensive for me to plurge on.

[marichino_freedom]

so far i have only seen the TIGI line at salons, but i found it pretty cheap at JC pennys salon ($13.00)....well, cheap for a salon. its worth the splurge, my hair is so soft! plus, i have had it since august and only half of the bottle is gone!

[collegegirl]

WOW!!! I will have to check some of these name brands out. (When I have money, that is ) LOL :D

[Babyruth]

I love Dove hair products. They make your hair super soft and they are very moisturizing, which is a necessity for my curly/frizzy/dry hair. I use Dove with my salon brand, Curl.Life Matrix shampoo and conditioner because it doesn't moisturize very much, so I add Dove which seems to enhance the product.

[collegegirl]

How expensive does it usually run? It is pretty easy to find?

[marichino_freedom]

I like the dove products too, but my mom gave me a gift certificate to a salon and she said it was to get my split ends trimmed, but as i dont have any split ends at this point in time, i asked her if i could use it for some products, so i bought the Biologe shampoo and conditioner (I LOVE THIS STUFF) and a Paul Mitchell color enhancing shampoo for dark hair. But, my friend told me her mom is a hair stylist and could get me the Large bottles for about ten dollars (super cheap deal)! i am so excited.

[Babyruth]

Dove products are pretty cheap, at least here. They are around $2.50 for a bottle. I think, I can't quite remember, but they are less than $3. I've never tried Biologe or Paul Mitchell. I've seen them, but never tried them. Do you normally trim your split ends marachino? That's cool that you can get a good deal on those products. They are quite expensive, but hopefully they work ok.

[blessed]

dove products are very expensive here, its a very good product but i cant buy it cause its too expensive. maybe when i travel nexr year Lord willing i will buy some

[marichino_freedom]

I really dont need to trim my split ends....i dont usually get them very bad

[Babyruth]

Do you think it's ok to trim split ends?

[marichino_freedom]

I guess its just up to the person...between them and God
I dont say yes, I dont say no...because I dont know

[blessed]

did not brother branham say if a woman cuts her hair she is not fit to pray before God

[blessed]

just came across these quotes thought it might help
WHY_ PHOENIX.AZ SATURDAY_ 61-0128
E-65 Women, stop cutting your hair; start living like Christian women. Men, quit the things that you're doing. The Christian Church should conduct itself like sons and daughters of the King, living godly in this present world. Do you believe that? Let us bow our heads just a moment, now.

THE.GREATEST.NEWS.FLASH.IN.HISTORY_ CHICAGO.IL MONDAY_ 61-0424 E-31 What we want to do today is don't look towards those poor mournful garlic eaters back there, back in the wilderness, wanting the flesh pots of Egypt, were wearing shorts and dresses and painted lips, and cutting their hair, and denying the power of God. Let them alone. They'll perish there in the wilderness. Let us follow our great Joshua. (Hallelujah.), our Leader. Don't ask no questions; just keep in step; that's all. Just keep moving on. Don't look back to them; don't pay any attention to them. If they want to stay in Egypt and thirst for the things of the world, and all their old movie stars and mimics and everything, let them go on. We look to Jesus. We look to our Joshua.
We're not looking to a thirsting. The trouble of it today; you say, "Now, wait, you shouldn't drink. You shouldn't go to picture shows. You shouldn't do this; you shouldn't... Women shouldn't cut their hair.

And see, there's where I get it again. Instead of holding onto the cross and to the Word and moving on, we become fashioned after the world, dropping this way, or dropping this a way, or patterned after this. As I've always spoke so hard against people in this modern trend today, the women cutting their hair and--and the men carrying on and everything, and just wearing immoral clothes and things

FORSAKING.ALL_ TEMPE.AZ TUESDAY_ 62-0123
E-107 But there is a commandment in the Bible that a woman cuts her hair is a dishonorable person. And if it looks that way to God, and you say you got the Holy Ghost and doing so, something's wrong

[All4Jesus]

Thank you. WOW!

[Babyruth]

I didn't mean to cause trouble, I was just wondering. I don't agree with trimming your hair, it's the exact same as cutting. One inch or 1/2 and inch is no different that 1 foot or 1.5 a foot, at least to me. I don't think women in the Bible trimmed their split ends, they didn't cut it at all. I've never cut my hair because I've been in the Message my whole life, praise the Lord. I don't look down on anyone who cut their hair before being in the Message because they didn't know, but after you know, I find it hard to think it's ok. I'm thankful that God has allowed me the priveledge to have a pastor that believes everything the Bible says and believed in the prophet. Again, I'm sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings, I didn't mean to.

[All4Jesus]

Thank you. WOW!

I kind of needed the qoutes also to show someone

[blessed]

i don't think its a matter of of hurting someones feelings but sometimes ppl don't know what the prophet said and don't mind being told..i would like to know if i am doing something wrong someone would tell me about it

[marichino_freedom]

my feelings arent hurt. like i said...i dont even need to ... I'm lucky to have really healthy hair. its sort of the one thing I'm a little vain about.

[Babyruth]

That's ok, God gave it to you, the least you can do is appreciate it, and it seems you do! My hair is getting healthier. I think I already said this somewhere, but about 1/2 of hair fell out a couple years ago. It's growing back, but not too thick. I really want thicker hair, mine's so thin. It is much longer though. Wow, sorry, I got way off topic. lol;)

[blessed]

i am not sure if i asked this question before but my hair is thinning really bad anyone knows what i can use to help stop the thinning and for my hair to grow normal

[marichino_freedom]

try a volumizing shampoo...or this stuff called "mane and tail" (its "horse" shampoo, but its supposed to be really good for you hair.

my hair is super thick...its crazy wild sometimes,

[blessed]

HORSE SHAMPOO :aaaah:

[Babyruth]

It was originally used for horses, because their hair needs special shampoo, but gentle. Now it is not used for horses, they just say that to get people to buy it more.

[blessed]

i still don't think im willing to try that

[marichino_freedom]

i've used it....its actually pretty nice

[Babyruth]

Me too. It certainly smells good!

[marichino_freedom]

speaking of smelling nice....have you ever noticed that sometimes after holidays and birthdays, "fluffy" stuff seems to pile up? i couldnt tell you how many bottles of lotion and soap i have right now.....i'll be smelling good at least through october.

[NeedGod]

oh, this thread has a certain nice smell. mhhh, i love it here, maybe i will hang around for a while...........still hanging around.......aaaah, i dont wanna go...nooo, dont make me,noooooo

[blessed]

speaking of smelling nice....have you ever noticed that sometimes after holidays and birthdays, "fluffy" stuff seems to pile up? i couldnt tell you how many bottles of lotion and soap i have right now.....i'll be smelling good at least through october.
tell me about it i have so much shampoo and hairspray and lotions to last me a while and i also got four bottles of wine ( non alcoholic) .....

[marichino_freedom]

i'm not saying i dont like them....i just get them ALL the time!!!! i smell different every day :-p

[blessed]

That is supposed to be a good thing sis :D alot of other ppl are not that privelage to smell good every day

[NeedGod]

i'm not saying i dont like them....i just get them ALL the time!!!! i smell different every day :-p
just so we know!!! :harhar1:

[marichino_freedom]

no! i like them, i just dont have the space for all of them...i only have a small shelf to put them on....thats all i meant

[Sara]

Ok, so, thirty minutes after i started reading all the replies to this post, i finished. :)

Then i forgot about all the stuff i was gonna reply to!!!

I remember about the Horse shampoo though!

I've never tried it, but was tempted to once, except i found a cheaper one. Hehehe... I don't like to buy expensive stuff either!

One of the things i've noticed is that, since i don't cut my hair at all, it's better to stay aways from chemicals, which mess with the chemical composition of hair, damaging it.

I began to pay more attention to the ingredients when i took a chemistry course and learned more about them. Try to keep it natural...

Use products that contain natural ingredients. Dove products contain many amino acids, which build up proteins. That's good because our hair is made up of protein. (actually that's what i use right now!)

So, Dove is good, BUT i have one problem with it. I have curly hair and Dove products make it SOOOOOO soft that the curls don't really curl "all the way" it's hard to explain...

BUT, you can be sure it won't damage your hair...

:)

Yaaahhh!!! Someone else has curly hair! Maybe others do, but now I know one for sure! I agree, Dove is awesome, but it does make it so soft that it just wants to be weird. That's why I use it with my curly hair shampoo and conditioner. Theyseem to work well together.

[collegegirl]

I used to use baby shampoo, (gotta love Johnson&Johnson) and a regular conditioner, but I am definately going to have to check out the Dove products....I am using a Fructis one right now.

As for the Mane and Tail horse shampoo, I hear that it is really good, and I know quite a few people who use it. They rave about it. I have yet to try it. Maybe someday...

Oh, and those of you with curly hair, do you scrunch-dry your hair? I do that sometimes, and it seems to come out a little curlier. My hair has a light curl, and I have long hair, so it kinda weighs it out, but people have asked me if I had a perm when I have scrunch-dried it with gel before, which gives it about the same kind of curl when I do it without the gel, only it lasts longer. :D LOL Say that three times fast.

[Babyruth]

I always scrunch my hair. Yeah, my hair is longer so it does make my hair less curly than if it was shorter, but I wish my hair was even longer! I normally use mousse instead of gel because I always have to put stuff in my hair, so I like to use something as light as possible. My hair is curlier depending on the weather and when I put stuff in it. The top isn't very curly by itself because my hair is longer, so it pulls. But, when I put it in a bun when it's wet and take it out when it's dry, it's super curly! It goes only half way down my back instead of past my waist. It's funny and annoying. Everytime I wear my hair down to school, which isn't much, I tuck it in my hood or something and EVERYONE asks me if I cut it!!!! It is soooooo annoying!!!!!!!

[Sara]

Curl shampoo???

Does that work?

I don't know.

I'm scared now.

Hehehe...

Cause you use the wrong thing and...

The curls welll...

They don't do their bouncy thing anymore, you know???

:think:

hahaha...

[NeedGod]

i wash my hair every day and it is cutting. i dont know whater it is cutting coz of washing or of it is cutting coz of braiding it. anyhow, i had relaxed it with chemicals for it to be straight( you know how kinky afro hair can be) so now it cuts so often. maybe i should have left it natural.

[zippnkandibar]

hehe i just wanted to comment on the 'horse shampoo' thing a little ways back....

i just have to say...

horse shampoo has the BEST SMELL EVER *inhales deeply* love it. love it love it love it.

...yeah sorry :harhar1:

[NeedGod]

it does? oh well, never smelt a shampooed horse before...*shrugging* but anyway, tell me, my chemicalised hair is cutting off. it will all cut off as i have decided to let it be natural. i feel that is what God wants. i am not saying it is the message, i just feel for me it is best. well, so anyhow, should i let it fall of or should i cut off the top and leave the natural so that the falling hair wont affect the hair that is left?

[NeedGod]

you think so? oh well, i guess i so. why, i could even pray and He could make it strong again. :thumbup:

[zippnkandibar]

of course! just do what you think is best.

[marichino_freedom]

i have returned! i also have to say, that if not for cutting my hair to my chin a few years ago, it would probably be past my butt.... (just a thought)

[Babyruth]

The curl shampoo I use works pretty well. If I don't do anything to my hair, it curls, but it looks like super fuzzy dreadlocks. It's looks terrible! I put mousse and curl serum and it looks way nicer. You can see the curls and it doesn't look like I haven't combed my hair for years.

[blessed]

but anyway, tell me, my chemicalised hair is cutting off. it will all cut off as i have decided to let it be natural. i feel that is what God wants. i am not saying it is the message, i just feel for me it is best. well, so anyhow, should i let it fall of or should i cut off the top and leave the natural so that the falling hair wont affect the hair that is left?

Hi namwacha,
i just read your post, if you feel natural is the way to go then that's your choice but i don't agree with you wanting to cut your hair ( see my previous post on quotes ) it is not right, if you want to go natural continue braiding your hair, it will break a bit but that is part of the process, make sure and steam your hair and use some hair food that will strenghten your hair , it will take some time though for it to go back natural..but i would not recommend you dishonouring yourself to go back natural..

Lord Bless

[marichino_freedom]

how does everyone feel about cancer patients. my grandma is pentecostal (so they feel the same about hair), but a lady in her church is going through chemo and was starting to lose her hair, so she shaved all of it off and wears a scarf. what about then?

[NeedGod]

Hi namwacha,

thanks dear. i decided not to. i will braid it. if i use synthetic braids, is that wrong. coz my hair is so short and weak so i cant just braid it using nothing. i need to use synthetic braids. and the prophet said something about adding hair. please reply today someone as i need to do my hair the day after tommorow.

[FreeAtLast]

thanks dear. i decided not to. i will braid it. if i use synthetic braids, is that wrong. coz my hair is so short and weak so i cant just braid it using nothing. i need to use synthetic braids. and the prophet said something about adding hair. please reply today someone as i need to do my hair the day after tommorow.

The main thing the prophet emphazised was: do NOT cut your hair!
I personally dont think it is wrong for you to use synthetic braids if your own hair is not long enough to be braided on its own. Although I dont really like if ppl use some other kind of color in the braids (like if your natural hair was black you would braid into it some blonde braids). But this is just my PERSONAL opinion!
All I know for sure: By no means cut it! (that´s what the prophet said).

[NeedGod]

thanks girl. i also dont like the idea of people using different colored braids, it looks so worldly. anyway, i was also thinking the same about braiding but i will pray first.

[blessed]

It is my personal opinion that for your purpose its ok to braid your hair but discuss it with your pastor and pray about it

[LittleLamb]

that would probobly help me alot (my hair= :mad: frizzy mess) thanks
