    I came here to testify! Over the past year my scalp had been breaking out in Scalp itchy patchy scabs that i would comb out and sometimes hair would come out with it. This NEVER happened before. I would wash my hair and two days later it would start developing again. I tried bentonite clay, diacotameus earth and aloe Vera on my scalp as a detox. And even went plant based with my diet. NOTHING worked for a year! So i went on a limb and bought the shakakai powder u suggested... GIRL the dry scalp patches have disappeared. It’s been 10 days and my scalp is the cleanest it’s ever been. It’s finally returned back to normal. THANK YOU so much!

    I tried the first scalp detox (baking soda, aloe vera gel, olive oil, etc...) I did add a pure mint tea bag to the other two. My scalp felt squeaky clean when I was done. I shampooed, conditioned and rinse! rinse! rinsed! (some times I wonder if I don't rinse enough to get everything off my scalp.) I sealed the deal with a rinse of ACV and a shot of cold water!

    Love shikakai!! I add it to my clay washes and my natural ABS shampoo that I make. Lol this vid explains why the first comment I get from stylists when I go to a salon is: your scalp looks really good! Enjoyed the vid! Ion do baking soda, because with my luck I'd be the one who experienced it relaxing my curl pattern (I've read it can do that to some folks).

I grew my hair an inch and I was using design essentials leave in without a cream and just putting oil over it and I got my hair done and the stylist said my ends were bad. I'm always getting braids and she told me that the braids were drying my ends out.
    Can you go over steps to have healthy ends? In addition, I was going to buy a split ender by talavera which cuts off split ends only. I had great success with this when I was relaxed but now that I'm natural it may not be as successful. Should I get another one? How often do I need to cut for split ends?

    I am curious what a PH strip would show this mix with the lemon & baking soda to be. It seems very acidic and I know it is important for things on the hair to be ph balanced. Idk if it is different for high or low porosity, but as high porosity I would be hesitant to put this on my scalp especially on all of my hair. I think my raised cuticles wouldn’t agree 😅
    I love shikakai though! It’s great.

May I also suggest watching new growth naturals you tube channel. Good luck. Ohhh and don't forget to drink loads of water.

    • @maureenmn288
      @maureenmn288 3 года назад +4

      One thing I realized during my natural hair journey is that we're usually too focused on the roots of our hair and not the length. Length retention is KEY. You might want to try low manipulation protective styles that can last really long (ie: mini twists or mini braids). If you look at videos of natural hair RUclipsrs with waist/tailbone length hair that's usually how they were able to maintain their length. I've tried it myself and now I'm actually seeing results!

      @naye1igamerxd471 2 года назад +2

      I was so excited. Don’t worry too much about everything. Do your research, get to know your hair (hair type, hair porosity, ingredients your hair likes) and go from there. When I began, I did my research and saw products that had ingredients my hair liked, such as coconut, and learned about sulfates, silicones, and the bad stuff in hair products. I saw progress in my hair length (I transitioned for about 9 months to a year) and I big chopped. Then, I wore braids until I had the confidence to wear my hair out.

    • @MEAJJEKL
      @MEAJJEKL 2 года назад

      I grew up with a perm and when I went natural, I made the choice to chop it all off down to almost bald. As a woman, a black woman no less, it can be scary to do such a drastic thing to the hair. What I can suggest is to have fun with it (if you choose this option) by going to the barber and getting it lined up nicely or getting girly designs shaved into it. Cute beanies and hats fit better with less hair, and pretty flower garlands. And hoop earrings pop so much more with short hair. Headwraps are also easier to use. These were ways I would "style" my baldness lol. As it grows in, you'll get to enjoy the journey of your hair from root to stem. It is such a special experience to intimately know each strand's path. You will get used to the short length and before you know it, you'll have a fro out to the sky. Ultimately it is your hair journey so you need to do what's best for you, and whatever that is I wish you and your crown the best 🤎

      Can baking soda damage your hair?
      Baking soda has a pH of 9, which is far higher than that of the scalp. Using a product with such a high pH may harm the hair. Over time, baking soda can strip the natural oil from the hair, lead to breakage, and make the hair fragile. Baking soda is going to mess up some of these peoples head...tsk tsk. 😂🤣

Blue ivy moms left her hair alone and it’s down her back. But folks where up in arms over it😂🤣. Need to know your hair before you do all these crazy things to it. That’s what I learn for my hair to grow to my armpits.

      you don’t need a cosmetologist to learn how to detox hair. that’s like saying “if you aren’t a professional loctiction than you can’t give advice on how to treat locs even tho you have locs and know how to treat them”

    A word of advice: look for fast hair growth shampoo to double hair growth.
