Okay ladies. I need your best tips, hints, product suggestions, and tricks to help keep the new growth under control! If I'm gonna stretch, I'm gonna need help in keeping the hairline smooth!
Thank you!
(BTW, I am a 4a/b hairtype . . . .)
I am 4a/b, too.
When I am at 5 weeks post, I must pre-poo, lol. For me, that's the only way to get the ball rolling. I first saturate my hair with African Pride Hair, Scalp, and Skin Oil, then I slather on some Silicon Mix. I cover my head with a plastic cap and then one of those condition caps that uses your body heat to warm up. I either leave in in for 2-3 hours or over night.
Before applying shampoo, I rinse out the silicon mix and oil. My hair feels silky smooth after doing this. Then I poo with whatever I feel like using.
Depending on the week and I have been using, I'd DC with a protein conditioner or either use a protein treatment. I immediately follow with Elasta QP Intense and leave it in for 5-10 minutes. When I rinse it out, it's like being back at week 2 post, lol. This moisuturizing conditioner is really good! It moisturizes and detangles. It also smells great!
I just started using Star Bio Complex Placenta de Oveja (leave in). It's great for detangling and the comb glides right through my hair. This is definitely going to be in heavy rotation, especially come stretching time.
HTH!
