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.

(Suggestions)

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."

http://www.motionshair.com/M_products/M_... ...Moisterizer

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

Would a hair dresser be able to shape my eyebrows and make them more feminine looking?

My hair dresser is a lovely girl but I do not want to make her feel uncomfortable, she has cut my hair for two years now and is very good. I know she is doing other beauty treatments in the salon, but is it likely she would freak out if I ask her to make my eyebrows more gender neutral, and maybe more feminine in style without giving too much away?

Would a hair dresser be able to shape my eyebrows and make them more feminine looking?

Just book in for an eyebrow shaping and before she does it she will ask you what you are looking to achieve, you could say you just want them to look neater and tidier. Once she does them you thank her and say that's great...then at your next appointment if you want them even more feminine just say you'd like them a bit more thinner. The reason I've suggested doing it in a couple of stages is so that it doesn't look such a drastic difference to your appearance immediately so people won't think straight away oh hes had his eyebrows done. Gradually is more subtle.

Would a hair dresser be able to shape my eyebrows and make them more feminine looking?

why would she be offended by that- if she does eyebrows than I see no problem with her doing it-

Would a hair dresser be able to shape my eyebrows and make them more feminine looking?

why not explain it to her properly and you may make a friend for life...well a hairdresser at least. If she freaks change your hairdresser....plenty of talented people out there.

Would a hair dresser be able to shape my eyebrows and make them more feminine looking?

definitely it would not be much of a big deal for your hairdresser to shape your eyebrows.

Would a hair dresser be able to shape my eyebrows and make them more feminine looking?

just ask her to shape them for you lots of men have it done now so don't worry .... why don't you want people to know be PROUD of who you are good luck

Would a hair dresser be able to shape my eyebrows and make them more feminine looking?

Most hair dressers can easily wax the eyebrows. If you want to find out her reaction ask her something like " what do you think about guys getting their eyebrows done?" Or something like that. If your not comfortable with that then you can always go somewhere else to get them done. But then she will notice them different and could be insulted.

Either way they get paid to do hair and wether she agrees with what you want done she will do it.

Would a hair dresser be able to shape my eyebrows and make them more feminine looking?

Wouldn't hurt to ask her, "hey, I was thinking about getting my eyebrows shaped, they're a little aggressive for me as they are. What do you think?" and if she doesn't do that she could probably connect you with someone who can. Maybe say you're looking for a more "elegant" or "gentle" or "subtle" look for them, if you're uncomfortable saying you want them more feminine.

Do be aware that's probably going to be a waxing or plucking operation, though.

Would a hair dresser be able to shape my eyebrows and make them more feminine looking?

One of the things most hair dressers do is shape eyebrows. If she doesn't know how, find one who does.

Would a hair dresser be able to shape my eyebrows and make them more feminine looking?

it depends on how your eyebrows are shaped.... and i dont think she would care... thats her job to make sure you're satisfied with whatever you're getting... not to be mean but this is kind of a dumb question...

Would a hair dresser be able to shape my eyebrows and make them more feminine looking?

If she's a professional, she won't mind at all.

If she's narrow-minded and combines church and state, so to speak, it's time to find a new hair dresser.

Would a hair dresser be able to shape my eyebrows and make them more feminine looking?

I am sure loads of men get their eyebrows done, I know lots of men have massages in beauty salons... so whats the difference really? Just ask... theres no reason why she wouldnt.. shed be taking ur money after all!

Would a hair dresser be able to shape my eyebrows and make them more feminine looking?

She won't mind

She will already know you are gay so there won't be any problem.

Just ask her

Would a hair dresser be able to shape my eyebrows and make them more feminine looking?

Go to another beauty salon, maybe one in a larger city, for your eyebrow shaping.

Save you feeling uncomfortable

not at all just show her a pic of how u want them and shell do it simple look on the internet for femine eyebrows

Would a hair dresser be able to shape my eyebrows and make them more feminine looking?

i don't see why she would feel uncomfortable. Casually say

" I'm thinking of changing my eyebrows what do you think? Im thinking of making them thinner." If she sounds uncomfortable then talk to a cosmetologist

Would a hair dresser be able to shape my eyebrows and make them more feminine looking?

lovely girls never judge people she'd be happy to help more and more men are having their eyebrows shaped now...

Mine is a cruly hair, iam suffering with a lot of hair fall how can i maintain my hair can you sugge

i have tried a lot of treatments but results was not found can u suggest me the shampoo to be used and treatment to be done for the growth of my hair.

Mine is a cruly hair, iam suffering with a lot of hair fall how can i maintain my hair can you suggest me?

Stress can seriously affect your hair falling out. Have you been under a great amount of stress lately?

Also, your diet is a contributing factor. Try eating plenty of fresh veggies and stay away from fried food.

Go to GNC and buy some BIOTIN. This is a B-vitamin that aids in body growth, specifically hair and nails.

Hope this helps!

Mine is a cruly hair, iam suffering with a lot of hair fall how can i maintain my hair can you suggest me?

trying using a lot of conditioner.

Mine is a cruly hair, iam suffering with a lot of hair fall how can i maintain my hair can you suggest me?

Sometimes your hair just falls out. I'm 15 and I have hair fall out on a regular basis. My hair tends to fall out in the spring and summer. I think that it is just a seasonal thing.

Mine is a cruly hair, iam suffering with a lot of hair fall how can i maintain my hair can you suggest me?

Hair fall could be as a result of series of physical and hormonic problems. I would get my thyroid checked. I would also look into a product called "Rogaine." I would also used the same brand in shampoo and conditioner. Good Luck!

Dry hair....help!?

my hair is really dry. I got a deep conditioning treatment, but it didnt do much. Any suggestions?

i need to re-color it soon because my roots are getting bad.

Dry hair....help!?

try this

1%26gt;massage your hair with olive oil.. leave it in for sometime.. shampoo %26amp; condition it later..

2%26gt;If your hair is colored use a shampoo meant for colored hairs.

3%26gt;Another home remedy is to use egg white .. leave it in hair for sometime and shampoo.

For me olive oil has worked out the best!! try it.. it always works...

Dry hair....help!?

hair tonic vasaline really does work !

Dry hair....help!?

Try an extra virgin olive oil treatment, if that doesnt help, then you can go to a hair salon to get a professional deep conditioning treatment..also if you recolor use a root touch up, not a full head dye. you dont want to damage it more than it already is.

Dry hair....help!?

try getting a haircut..at least the dead ends trimmed off because that always makes hair feel not so dry and damaged. and then at the salon buy biolage conditioner and shampoo...it's about 30-40 bucks for the set...depending on if you get the big or little bottles. it REALLY works. just use it everyday and after a couple days your hair will feel SO much better...and make sure you use a clarifying shampoo about once a week because it takes all of the buildup out of your hair...like hairspray etc. dont use it too much b/c it CAN dry out your hair. and use a leave in conditioner everyday or every other. it will keep it from drying out so fast.

OR you could try using vinegar in your hair and washing it out after about 10 mins. it always worked for me. good luck.

and yeah, those hot oil treatments/deep conditioning never work for me either.

Dry hair....help!?

i got my hair straightened, and it got pretty damaged. so now i use dove shampoo treatment for severly damaged hair- it works really nicely!

Dry hair....help!?

well if ur hair is dry after a deep conditioning...then that means u got split ends...split ends will never retain moisture, so they remain dry. try a hot oil treatment...ive only gotten 2 of those...and the first one i got from a store...and it was kinda bad...and so i decided to make one myself. all i did was use olive oil from the kitchen, and heated it up and then i put it in my hair. and then use a plastic cap on your hair or wrap it in a warm towel. and wait for about an hour. if ur hair is really dry, wait for an hour, if its starting to get dry but not that dry, do 30 minutes. and when i was done, i rinsed it out, without any shampoo cuz that would strip it all out. so then i used a deep conditioner on it when i ran water thru my hair. and left the conditioner in for 10 minutes. and my hair was looking good! so try that

ADD: oh yeah...and shampoo before u put the oil in ur hair. cuz the conditioner has silicone in it, and the silicone coats the hair strand, so if u dont shampoo the hair first, then the hair will still be coated with silicone, and the silicone doesnt allow any moisture to be in the hair strand cuz its like a barrier, it covers it. so the hot oil treatment wouldnt do any good cuz no moisture would get in, so yeah. shampoo or clarify first. and then put the olive oil in and then deep condition.

Dry hair....help!?

use diffrent kinds of oil find the one which really siuts u and use lemon all over u hair specaily in the scalp just before u wash and dont use too much shampoo

Dry hair....help!?

for really dry hair make sure you use a moisturizing shampoo . Then use a conditioner after..since your hair is really dried out i would suggest using a leave-in conditioner since it sometimes makes ur hair oily, which will give it moisture! Your hair sounds like its dry because its damaged. Try not to use any heat on it (blow-dryers, hair straighteners, curling irons etc.) because those realllllly dry out your hair. Also when you go out in the sun, try to use a hair-spray that protects your hair from getting heat damage in the sun because sun can dry out your hair too....so can pools.

Dry hair....help!?

I have dry hair also (it comes with coloring territory:))

Here's what I do that helps a lot. Take about a 1/4 cup of olive oil and warm it in the microwave for like 8 sec. (you want it warm but not hot) take a wide tooth comb and dip the comb into the oil and comb it through your dry hair (that's a big mistake most people make, if you place anything with oil on wet hair, the oil can't penetrate). Comb enough oil through so that its saturated, but not soaking wet. Get a shower cap a put your hair under it for a few hours. (if you have a heating pad, you can put that on your head for a few minutes over the shower cap.

Wash your hair twice, and use your daily conditioner, You will see and feel the difference immediately!

Good luck!

Dry hair....help!?

Use coolwhip as a conditioner ,after washing hair, message into hair for 2 minutes, then rinse with warm water.

Dry hair....help!?

for extremely dry hair make sure you wash it once a week . try using amla oil, it will make it sleeky, shiny and smooth. have a balanced diet also. dont stress too much.

Dry hair....help!?

try using vinager. that helped my cousin alot. and if you straighten your hair a lot and you have really curly hair that might be another reason. let the cinager sit in for like 10-15 minutes.

Dry hair....help!?

Try Redkens extreme or color treated shampoo and conditioner. Redkens smooth down is also really good for dry hair. Hope I helped. Please add me to your contacts and email me w/ any hair questions you have via yahoo answers.

Dry hair....help!?

Try this. I SWEAR it helps.

Eggs-traordinary Hair Mask

Ingredients:

2-Raw Eggs

1-Tablespoon Olive Oil

Approx. 4 Drops of Honey

Whisk all of the ingredients together like your about to make scrambled eggs or something. Drench your hair in the mixture. I mean, like, SOAK it, but don閳ユ獩 make it drippy. It will feel really weird. Leave it in until the mixture dries on your hair (could be an hour and a half or so). Shampoo a bunch until you are SURE you got all of it out. Wash hair however you normally do and style like normal. Hair will be softer and shinier than before. Repeat once every other week for optimum results.

Dry hair....help!?

Dont go out and buy anything expensive.

First: Purchase a mild Shampoo (To Clarify hair, I will explain why)

Second: TRIM your hair ends (May 1 1/2 to 2 inches)

Third: Here's the magic part: Mix olive oil, almond oil, coconut oil, avocado oil and a "little" honey, (honey u will have to heat so it can blend). Either leave on ALL day or all night (if all nite, DONT use honey)

Repeat this 3-4 times a week, your hair will grow like a weed %26amp; remove all frizz I promise,..... and it will be super shiny!!!!

The clairifying shampoo will help take the oil off your hair when u shower

You can find olive oil anywere, but the other oils you will have to buy at a local organics store, wholes foods or BJ's health corner.

How do I make my hair less brittle?

I had the Japanese straightening treatment done, but now the ends of my hair are brittle. I've tried leave in conditioners but it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas besides cutting it?

How do I make my hair less brittle?

For my dry ends I use Redken All Soft butter treatment. I leave it on for about 10 minutes while I am in the shower. It makes my hair so soft. I only do it about once a week. Also V05 hot oil works good too.

How do I make my hair less brittle?

You need to get a good hair cut, but if you do not want to do that, you may consider treating your hair to a mixture of eggs, olive oil and mayo. This combination does a great job in reviving your hair. Go to a drugstore, where the African-American hair products are displayed and look for Organic Mayo. This product is excellent for getting rid of dry and damaged hair. Use this once a week-

Hair removable(permanent) products for man!?

I am not a hairy 37 year old male however I have a little patch of hair(in 2 spot) that keeps growing back rather rapidly after I use my electric clippers to remove it. Are there any products like a cream that someone who has used before and could recommend me to. Or if anybody has suggestions, please pass it on. Because I have very little hair, these spots stand out and actually look kinda funny or strange. Just want to get rid of them once and for all. Cannot afford any medical laser treatments coz those things run into the tens of thousands. Basiclly need something I can use at home. Seen afew commercials but haven't seen anything really out there for man. Also FYI, these patches of hair(s) are circular and about the size of the circumferance of a coke can.One spot is between my shoulder blades and the other is dead center on my back at about wasteline level. Thanks for reading and all the information you can give me!!
