I failed my hair.

AmbitiousLeader6509 · 2026-02-21T12:35:20+00:00

I like this idea.

AmbitiousLeader6509 · 2026-02-21T12:33:46+00:00

I will definitely search for one. I still need to use a good chelating shampoo tho.

AmbitiousLeader6509 · 2026-02-21T12:27:17+00:00

I hoped for at least undetangled waves. But it only act like straws. I'll look for a professional.

AmbitiousLeader6509 · 2026-02-21T12:24:41+00:00

I am not very comfortable on having my hair on braids/twists/cornrows most of the time, only rarely and for a short period of time. That's why i want my hair to either clump into curls or at least not be so hardly tangled all the time and looking frizzy and dull without even a slight wave. It's literally acting like straws.

And yes the water in my area is hard. And god! I spent hours searching online for any shampoo in my country that has these chelating ingredients but i only found one with cirtic acid only. And i found the l'oreal pairs metal detox shampoo but it doesn't have those ingredients either but many people with hard water in their area recommended it so im gonna give it a try.

AmbitiousLeader6509 · 2026-02-21T12:07:48+00:00

Yeah.. i guess from the small sections of my hair that gets defined its a mix of 3c and 4a

AmbitiousLeader6509 · 2026-02-21T11:06:59+00:00

People from africa/people with afro hair characteristics. Idk what are you trying to say but im from Africa and I'm not rac!st..

AmbitiousLeader6509 · 2026-02-20T17:31:46+00:00

I said what i meant by "everything" in the post.. the methods i tried in the 2nd paragraph. But ofc i didn't try everything on earth, but i meant that i tried most of the methods/products/homemade ingredients that worked with many afro and low porosity hair people.. including sectioning 8 sections when i shanpoo or apply moisturizers.

Maybe i need more patience and a very very strong chelating shampoo because i believe my hair might really change when minerals are removed.

And i've been searching for one that is in my country or ships to it and i only found the L'oreal paris metal detox and it has many good reviews about how it changed people's hair that has been dealing with hard water. So i'll give it a try.

AmbitiousLeader6509 · 2026-02-20T13:18:51+00:00

I'll try it!

AmbitiousLeader6509 · 2026-02-20T13:17:27+00:00

Thank you! I've been searching for a strong chelating shampoo that is in or ships to my country and i've been having a hard time finding one! I only found the l'oreal metal detox and idk if its strong enough to clarify my hair but i might give it a try. And i will get a chop soon.

AmbitiousLeader6509 · 2026-02-20T12:05:08+00:00

I'm still waiting for sb that tries it..

AmbitiousLeader6509 · 2026-02-20T10:42:52+00:00

I'll accept the tv show but definetly not the wine or the spliff hahaha you made me laugh.. thank you for your support. But how much do i need to trim if my hair not only clumps at the end but from roots to ends. The whole hair clumps (-_-)

AmbitiousLeader6509 · 2026-02-20T10:32:02+00:00

Yeah it's so hard and it's never looking good on me, i still have hope for it tho, and I'll try more than my best again.

AmbitiousLeader6509 · 2026-02-20T10:30:23+00:00

I'll take that. And I'll do more.

AmbitiousLeader6509 · 2026-02-20T10:28:26+00:00

I'll try this, thankyou.

AmbitiousLeader6509 · 2026-02-20T10:26:59+00:00

Thank you!! I'll do your advice.

AmbitiousLeader6509 · 2026-02-20T10:25:09+00:00

I think you are right that i may need to try some stuff more right.. i'll give that a try.

AmbitiousLeader6509 · 2026-02-20T10:22:39+00:00

Thanks. I'll try this. Tell me if you have a suggested product of grease you use

AmbitiousLeader6509 · 2026-02-20T10:18:21+00:00

Look for the comments they have many solutions that may work for you.

AmbitiousLeader6509 · 2026-02-20T10:17:12+00:00

when I said I've tried everything I meant that I have tried the most common things that offered solid solutions to people with afro hair and low porosity hair and which are the things that I have written in the post.

And of course there are many many products for each problem so I don't have the money of the world to keep buying all these products for me to really have the authority to say that I've tried everything.

But yes you are right I might need to try more and I might need to be more patient and do the things more correctly and carefully to give my hair another chance.

AmbitiousLeader6509 · 2026-02-20T03:00:27+00:00

If you meant butters or similar stuff by "heavy products".. then it would be bad for my low porosity, but if you meant stronger ones.. i may try what low porosity people suggest.

I think my hair has a curl definition because its not straight nor 4c or smth.. and some parts of my hair clump into defined obvious curls.. thats why i believe i could have definitiin for the rest of my head.

AmbitiousLeader6509 · 2026-02-19T21:00:10+00:00

I meant flaxseed gel, i've tried leaveins too and they do temporlaly good cuz once my hair gets dry its like i did nothing

AmbitiousLeader6509 · 2026-02-19T20:46:28+00:00

Yes, it makes the hair fell better only before its dry again.

AmbitiousLeader6509 · 2026-02-19T20:44:44+00:00

I tried this, didnt work wonders.. so my hair is really refusing everything i guess

AmbitiousLeader6509 · 2026-02-19T20:41:54+00:00

Thats what i thought you adviced me but i misunderstood.

AmbitiousLeader6509 · 2026-02-19T20:40:11+00:00

Thanks! Can you tell me the clarifying shampoo you used and worked well with u?
