Cellophane treatment and hair growth.?

I am African American and have very dry hair. I perm it myself and it never has bounce or shine so a friend of mine told me about a treatment called a cellophane treatment. I wanted to know more about it. I also have problems with my hair growing. I want to know what makes black hair grow. I use to have beautiful long hair and I let a beautician do my hair. She put a super perm on it and it has never quite recovered from that . In fact almost all of my hair fell out. It grew back some but not the way it use to.

If you are a beautician please I'd love your response. Anyone who has gone through this your help would be much appreciated.

Cellophane treatment and hair growth.?

Hey Girl, I got you !!!

This is what you need (read carefully, its alot, but it will change everything!). You need to make sure you hair has MOISTURE (is moisturized) ...

I use "Just For Me" kids relaxer (Im 21, but Mixed, so I can't use the strong adult African-American perms because they break my hair.) Its always better to use a weaker perm for your hair than a really strong one. A perm/relaxer that is too stong is the major cause in hair weakness, breakage %26amp; drying (its a sign of over-processing). I advise that you choose the best for you (Your Choice) but make sure its not too strong. Dont buy the strongest one on the market. Start weak and if you need to increase then do it next time around.

I also use "Motions CPR" Conditioning Treatment EVERY week. After you wash your hair, use CPR, put a plastic cap on and sit under a hooded/bonnet hard-hat dryer for 10-15 mins, then wash it out. (This is Deep Conditioning) And this is the BEST thing you can do for weak, thin, dry or damaged hair... hint *CPR (Critical Repair and Treatment). It really does seal you hair cuticles and flood them with protein and moisture. It repairs your hair and make it so much stronger and grow fast too. It also keeps your hair healthy even if it already is. It's great!!!

That will stop the breakage and add moisture. The next thing you need is a Protein Restructurer. Perms/relaxers and other harsh treatments distroy the natural protein-bonds in our hair. This will not rebuild them, but it will resturure the bonds that you do have left. (Thats why its best to use a weaker perm because it doesnt cause as many bonds to break.) Motions has this also and it works really well to start restructuring your hair. Healthy hair will hold moisture better.

I get my hair straighten once every season (fall, winter, spring %26amp; summer) so thats also the same time I get my hair trimed. You need to trim your ends too. This is very important to slowly get rid of those dead/split ends which causes moisture lost. Split ends causes your hair to break, because it cant properly hold moisture, which causes your hair cutiles to open wider and break. This makes hair thin from the loss of stands and stunks hair growth. (Slip Ends = Dry Hair and Broken Hair !!!)

* Make sure you are being kind to your ENDS, dont use curlers or flat irons unless absolutely nessary (use rollers more). Stay away from the blow dryer (try to use sit-under dryers). General Rule, "Stay away from HEAT."

You can find all of this at Sally's and any Black hair store and most of it at Wal-Mart.

Also our hair is made of protein (all protein), so you may want to look into your diet and make sure you are getting enough. Taking a women's multi-vitamin (or pre-natal) or Biotin everday will make sure you are getting enough of it, along with calcium which our hair also loves. You have to take care of your hair from the inside and out. Hair products take care of the outside. But you also have to check on the inside... your diet! to make sure your hair has what it even needs to grow and thicken.

I hope I have helped.

Shampoo %26amp; Conditioner

http://www.cremeofnature.com/ (Creme of Nature Shampoo %26amp; Conditioner all in one) It's great.

* Dont use Detangling shampoos though (they are good but not what you need), always use Mosterizing shampoos.

Mixed閳绢檲eauty - I'm looking into relaxing my hair (again) and the info you provided is great! I had stopped relaxing my hair due to dryness and breakage. After reading your comments I feel there is a way to have both healthy and relaxed hair. Thank you for your comments. Report It
