Filed under Baldness Hair Loss

This is a simple video I decided to make to share my natural hair regimen. I’ve made a few changes over the last few months, so this is an updated view of what works for me. Be sure to watch the video “Evolution of a Protective Style (Part 3)/My Natural Hair Routine (Part 2)” to see the final result and how I wear my hair in a cute and easy protective style. Music: “Sweetest Sin” by loveshadow on ccMixter.org Products featured in this video: Suave Naturals Rosemary Mint Shampoo (smells great and works just like the Aveda Rosemary Shampoo) Suave Naturals Almond Shea Conditioner Kinky Curly Knot Today Leave-In Conditioner Eco Styler Gel (Firm) Coconut Oil Wide tooth comb Medium sized perm rods (orange and beige colored) Products that weren’t featured that I also use: African black soap (as a shampoo) Whole Foods Brand Liquid Almond Castile Soap (as a shampoo) V05 Strawberries and Cream Conditioner (as a conditioner and Kinky-Curly Leave-in replacement) Olive Oil (as a pre-poo, scalp/hair oil, and deep conditioner when heated and mixed with a conditioner) Learn more about my hair and life at: thinkandgrowchick.com http

    @bornearth Thanks for the tip! I couldn’t find the contest you were mentioning though, has it ended?

    @KayNatural This method of detangling has definitely helped with raggedy ends. In fact, before I get in the shower, now I’ll spray my hair with a little water, add conditioner as my pre-poo instead of oil, then I detangle right then with a wide-tooth comb. I proceed to shampoo as show in the video.

    Another thing that helps is I try to at least rinse, if not wash and condition, my hair ever 4 days or so. Water is the best moisturizer to I try to give my hair more of it whenever possible.

    Hey! I’m natural also and a common problem that I have with my hair and it’s growth is when I choose to wear my hair in its natural state it requires alot of detangling which leads to damaged ends after awhile and when I go to straighten it my ends are horrible and I have to cut of my progress. Do you think this method of shampooing can decrease detangling damage?
    I am in desperate need of a solution!

    By the way, keep up the good work! : )

  13. ThinkandGrowChick says:

    @BeauGorgeousNatural Aw thank you! I’m always surprised by how much people like that Bantu Knot video, lol, it was such a random thing for me to do. But yes, I’m really trying to get my blog/youtube game together this year :-)

  23. ThinkandGrowChick says:

    @BABYGOOGOO I’m glad you liked it! I’ve been meaning to do an updated regimen video for a while, but video making is tough! Very labor intensive; I have a new respect for all of the other ladies who have been on youtube for a while. It is part of my 2011 goals to make more videos, so expect more to come!

  24. BABYGOOGOO says:

    great! I love your videos and was waiting for you to make another!
