So I ran out of ideas on how to mix up my hair moisturizers. I'm also tired of having to mix-up something in my spray bottle. Lately, I've been using a mixture of distilled water, organic vegetable glycerin, cold pressed olive oil, tea tree and rosemary essential oils. That combination has really made my hair SUPER soft. The glycerin really helps to seal in the moisture. I haven't relaxed my hair in maybe 3 months and I'm trying to stretch it out. Nappy hair isn't easy to deal with and the best thing I can do for it is to condition my hair after putting chemicals in it. lol, I'm definitely OVER and traumatized from having dreadlocks as a kid because my Asian mother didn't know how to deal with black hair. That's what she gets from messing with Mandingo. Hahaha!
On the Black Hair Media Forums, the girls have been raving about Africa's Best Ultimate Oil. I couldn't believe that something that wasn't made in your own kitchen was not only cheap, but had nothing but natural oils in its ingredients. I went to the store to check it out myself and I was expecting to see the typical carcinogenic and pore clogging ingredients like mineral oil, petroleum, and Red #40 hidden somewhere.
To my surprise, there was only:
Soy Bean Oil , Walnut Seed Oil, Kiwi Fruit Extract , Olive Fruit Oil , Castor Seed Oil , Sesame Seed Oil , Jojoba Seed Oil , Carrot Seed Oil , Sweet Almond Oil , Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Safflower Oil , Calendula Extract , Yarrow Extract , Cucumber Extract , Carrageenan Extract , Ginseng Extract , Sage Extract , Comfrey Extract , Aloe Extract
All of this in an 8 oz. bottle for about $2! So I did a hot oil treatment with it and my hair came out so shiny and soft. No frizz! Just as if I had just had my relaxer done. Great stuff!
**(I don't recommend this for people who already have straight hair as straight hair is naturally oily on its own.)**
