TOP 3 NO FAIL INGREDIENTS TO STRENGTHEN NATURAL HAIR!

[@NinaLady11]

I use henna and fenugreek. The fenugreek I use in my biweekly prepoo with coconut oil. I do a henna gloss monthly and a henna masque to cover my grays quarterly. I've used this routine since 2017 and I've retained so much length.

[@veyveye.2985]

What is a henna gloss? Please share.

[@NinaLady11]

@@veyveye.2985 A henna gloss is where I mix the prepared henna with a moisturizing deep conditioner and leave on for an hour (ish) before rinsing it out. I use the Belle Bar Organics henna for the gloss (don't know what happened to them, they had great products). For the masque I use the Marron henna bars from Lush Handmade Cosmetics. I mix according to the instructions and apply to my grays first, then mix with a deep conditioner and apply to the rest of my hair and leave on for about six hours before rinsing out. The henna leaves a layer on my hair that keeps my strands from tangling so easily. It does make my high porosity hair behave more like normal to low porosity so I avoid using products with protein when doing this routine.

[@veyveye.2985]

@@NinaLady11 sounds amazing. Thanks for sharing.

[@reneecrane5344]

Question do you find that henna dries your hair out?

[@NinaLady11]

@@reneecrane5344yes, but my henna is always mixed with some amount of oils so that lessens the drying effect. I do find that it makes it more difficult for moisture to penetrate my strands in the weeks after the masque. My hair is very high porosity so I find the effect to be beneficial but I do have to use different methods to keep my hair properly moisturized. I'm ok with the trade-off since I've been able to retain a lot of length by reducing breakage.

[@MJ-jp7os]

What works for me as far as protein treatment is the Aphogee line. As for my hair strenthening regimen I use clary sage essential oil in my conditioner. When i did my research on the eo it said it has linalyl acetate which helps strengthen hair, increase growth, and makes it more difficult for hair to break off.

[@VFEdge]

Yes, please share your process and thanks.😀

[@thecollectivemicproduction6448]

Please share

[@TracyD2]

Roughly 1 to 2 tablespoons per 1 cup of water. Heat water then add the plain gelatin. Apply to shampooed hair for 2 mins to 1/2 hour. It all depends if your hair likes it. So would start with a less amount of time. I think 10/15 minutes is average. It’s up to you. Then rinse then deep conditioner or whatever you like.

[@TeediousRaven]

@@ShaGemDropper Hello!! I boil water, mix one packet of unflavored gelatin and stir until dissolved. I don't use expensive conditioner I just find one at Family Dollar that smells good lol!! I mix the conditioner in until it isn't watery anymore. Just enough that it doesn't splash. I let it cool for 15 mins then apply before my shampoo😊

My favourite hair strengthening treatment is a DIY mask I make at home containing hydrolised wheat liquid drops, collagen powder, gelatin, egg white, aloe vera juice for slip, xantham gum for thickness. I mix with warm water and add a dash of olive oil et voila super affordable and effective! The proteins have large to small sized molecules which strengthen the hair at different levels. Next step is to add hydrolised silk also because of its smaller amino acid which is great for my fine hair. Thank you for the lovely vid!

I have not used a pure protein treatment like Apogee. But, I have been using a repair treatment that does have protein in it and I have to say I really like it. The TGIN Rx Line have been my go to when I need a good mask or leave in with protein in it. I recently bought a trail size of Olaplex #3. But, I am now thinking twice about using such a strong treatment when I do not color treat or use relaxers and I never put heat to my hair other than steaming during treatments and I hardly manipulate outside of wash day. My hair is not breaking excessively or shedding. So I wonder if Olaplex is something I need at this moment🤷🏾‍♀️ anyway... Love the channel and I love the live shows❤️

Thank you April! Olaplex and TGIN are both great brands, I'm glad you're seeing results!

Protein overload can also cause breakage and shedding. I had to give up protein for a year and a half and focus on moisture. If your hair is also brittle, you may have protein overload.

@@cutenobi sis, I do not have protein damage and I truly believe it has a lot to do with me understanding that balance. But, yes everything you wrote have been a reality for lots of folks and that is why I throw caution to the wind and just use products that have protein in them to maintain that balance.

I just tried a new protein treatment made by Elite Haircare USA. She is a small black-owned company. She is also a KZbin influencer. She has a body care line also called Elite Bodycare USA. I tried her protein treatment, which is a 2 step process called Elite Repair RX Super Protein Reconstructor treatment. The 2nd step is called Elite Repair RX Hydrate and Restore Moisturizing Conditioner. I had been seeing these little pieces of hair breaking off in my sink. It had been months since I did a protein treatment. I gave her products a try since I loved her shampoos and conditioners. There is noticeably a difference in what I am not seeing in my sink. I have happy hair again. I like this because it doesn't make my hair feel like it is going to break if I touch it once it dries as the Aphogee protein treatment does. My hair does feel stronger, and my curls are popping again. Happy hair.

Green beauty also has one or two videos however, I'll advise that you do the following; 1. Be sure to take your vitamins and eat a balanced meal. 2. Check your blood level and be sure to take the necessary supplement as instructed by the doctor. 3. Cleanse and condition as often as possible; at least once a week and be sure to clarify at least bi-weekly. 4. Detangle gently and make sure you don't do tight protective styles or leave it in for too long. 5. Incorporate Green Tea/Rosemary Rinse into your regimen as well as a protein treatment e.g. Aphogee 2min reconstructor to balance your moisture/protein level on your hair from outside. 6. Use the right tool. I wish you well.🙏🏿
