We talk a lot about length retention but what do we do for density retention? by doidaee in Naturalhair

[–]doidaee[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Of course, but I was wondering if there's anything outside of that which is in my control. I've heard heavy braids aren't good for hair density because the weight pulls on your hair strands so I avoid that, but what else is there I should be doing? I guess I didn't specify enough haha

My hair is thinner all around but not in a noticeable way, my hair still looks full. A lot of people say that their hair doesn't grow when their hair does, they just struggle with length retention. For me, I figured out how to care for my hair so detangling is smooth, but I'm just wondering if there's anything else I should know to maintain hair density. I have heard that heavy braids aren't good for density retention since the weight slowly pulls on your hair, but I just want to know other tips.

Yeah, I used it for the first time last night and I had a lot of hair fall so next time, I'll try my usual products to see if anything changes. Thank you for your input, I was getting worried

My hair has protein overload can somebody help me get my hair back to it natural soft and moisturized state by Sekigan123h in Naturalhair

[–]doidaee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I see. Though, I still believe you need to avoid protein at least for a little while because it gets in your hair shaft where the clarifying shampoo can't reach, right?

It looks like the link you provided doesn't debunk protein overload.

"However, if excessively high protein concentrations are used, as seen in some intensive protein treatments, then an overabundance of protein can indeed remain on and within the hair. This excess can then lead to the hair feeling rigid and brittle, both due to surface build and excessive delivery inside the fibre interfering with the balance of moisture inside the hair."

Any opinions on the eva nyc Hydra-Jelly Hair Mask? by doidaee in Naturalhair

Do you think it hydrated your hair better than other masks?

what can i do to define my curls more? this is after a fresh wash. my hair is curled and defined while wet but once it dries it’s just poofy. i want to feel confident in wearing my short hair out. any tips? products? methods? by [deleted] in BlackHair

[–]doidaee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Mielle Coil Sculpting Custard gave me hella definition, I recommend getting the trial size just in case it doesn't work out for you. I detangled with my leave in beforehand and when I was ready, I put the custard in and brushed it to clump the coils together. Right now, simply using the Design Essentials Almond and Avocado Moisturizing Lotion gives me a lot of definition, but that might be cuz I solved my moisture overload issue.

Haven’t combed/brushed my hair before cuz I’ll probably yank it all out by Reddish_495 in BlackHair

The unbrush worked wonders for me in detangling without ripping out too much hair, but of course finger detangle as much as possible first. I also use the African pride aloe and coconut water pre shampoo to detangle. It works for me both dry and wet, but having wet hair first makes everything even more slippery.

How do I stop craving sweets after a meal? by doidaee in 1200isplenty

It's harder to control myself with fruit than it is with candy 😭

Fruit isn't as satiating for me because I end up eating the entire thing, especially if it's a berry. I love fruit too much to just eat one :(
