Nye has been 100% natural since Early January 2011. These are some of the products we use to get her hair back and maintain proper health!
An Excellent Ultra Moisturizing Shampoo we've been using is by Creme Of Nature. I cant find this product for the life of me anymore...If anyone knows where I can get this or know of anything similar, PLEASE let us know! This was by far the best shampoo we've gotten our hands on. Talk about Detangling while shampooing! Also cleansing the hair and scalp without the use of sulfates! This product is very much missed! However, what
we've been using as a replacement shampoo is by Herbal Essences called Hello Hydration. This provides a balanced amount of moisturizer on her hair. However, it doesn't do the trick to mine! This is also not the best detangling shampoo, but its been our "Go To" product as far as shampooing.I believe that Co-Washing is very important especially if t
he shampoo didn't provide enough conditioning powers to help detangle. As a conditioner/co-wash we use the sister to the Hello Hydration Shampoo, Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Conditioner! This has to be one of the BEST moisturizing conditioners we've tried yet! I as well use this on my hair. This product provides an excellent amount of moisturizing benefits to help with 
conditioning the hair, manageability and softness. We love this product!Generally a Deep Condition is what provides the "extras" to your hair! The "extras" pretty much means, strength, repair and moisture. With the help of heat, the hairs shaft will swell allowing conditioner to enter the hairs cuticles. With that being done, the hair is
more resilient to breakage and helps with length retention. It also helps with elasticity of the hair. A great deep conditioner for us is one of 2 products! As a softer protein treatment, Nye uses ORS Olive Oil Replenishing Pak! This is a staple for myself as well as Nye. This product has a lot to do with the healing of her damaged hair. As a harder protein treatment, Nye uses ORS Hair Mayonnaise! This is used once a month to once every month and a half. Sometimes we skip the hair mayonnaise altogether. This provides a substantial amount of protein to help with severe breakage! A harder protein treatment usually goes hand and hand for hair that is about to take on extreme chemical processing. Its great to put in what chemicals take out, however, Nye is natural! This is great for hair th
at needs to become more thicker and stronger!A product that we have came accustomed to is the Jane Carter Solution Revitalizing Leave-In Conditioner. This is one of those products where you can either spray in on after a deep conditioning treatment or spray in on to refresh your hair. Either way, it detangles, softens, penetrates the shaft and seals. This is a product that
works great with Nye's hair but not very good with mines.As a lite weight moisturizer, Nye has been using SoftSheen-Carson Wave Nouveau. This product is a water based lite weight moisturizer great for softening the hairs coils providing shine and movement. Although I believe this product might be for natural hair within the 3c type (wavy) this works pretty good with Nye's hair as well as my own. We really like this product!
Last but definit
ely not lease is Cantu Shea Butter Leave-In conditioner repair cream. GREAT PRODUCT!!! If you need softness, here it is! If you need moisture, here it is! If you need a product good for braid/twist outs, here it is! No matter what your hair type is, this product is AWESOME! From root to ends it provides extreme moisture benefits. With water being the first ingredient and Shea butter being the second, this products works wonders on both Nye's and my hair! One thing that we've noticed is manageability! Combing the hair has been much easier with Cantu on her hair. With good manageability, that means no breaking of the hair and easy styling! Also softness! That means her hair is well conditioned and moistured pretty good. This product has become a staple!
Along with any shampoo, conditioner and moisturizer, you need a great sealer! Grapeseen Oil has been our choice of oils for Nye's hair. Its delicate, it absorbs the fastest, it leave little to no build up, it. This oil is great as a start. Then transition into other oils if you feel the need. As of right now, Nye's hair is perfect for grapeseed oil due to the fact that she sometimes endure heat appliances. Grapeseed oil is also a great natural heat protectant!
This is Nye's product regimen that got her hair back up to health. Now that she is fully natural, we are trying out new products more on the 'natural' side like pure Shea butter and a variety of great carrier and essential oils. We will let you know once we have established a working regimen.
I am an African-American woman with very short natural hair with no chemicals. I've been trying different products to style my hair and define my natural curl pattern. Cantu works wonders! After washing my hair, I apply Cantu Shea Butter Leave-in Conditioner, and it brings out my natural curls and leaves my hair so shiny and healthy looking. It doesn't make my hair hard like gels often do. And it doesn't take much to achieve the look I want since my hair is so short. One thing I have noticed is that if you use TOO much of it, or have too much other product residue in your hair, it can cause a white residue in your hair that is not cute. Ha. So, make sure you don't use too much. Just experiment with it and see what works for you before knocking it! :)
