Thanks! I'm thinking of trying the rosemary mint shampoo and black vanilla conditioner. The scents are supposed to compliment one another and I get weird about wanting the smells to match.

Mocha, thanks for posting this the link. I put it my favorite places to show DIL. Madelyns hair is getting so dried out. It's turning light brown on the ends and breaking off like you wouldn't believe.

Yup, she is in the sun everyday. DIL washes Madelyns hair every other night. She said she uses Baby Love after her shower. Then she brushes it out with a nylon bristle brush and a wide tooth comb. The reason she washes it every other night is at day care the play yard is in a pit of sand. It seems like Madelyn must spend the whole time head first in the sand. It's really a wonder there is any sand left at day care considering the amount of sand she has in her every afternoon.

Mocha, one time a long time ago, I had a hairdresser tell me my hair was so dry that I needed to use hair products for black hair. I used to use it all the time but as time goes on, I started using Pantene. Well with all the color that I put on my hair it once again has become very dry. I'm thinking of trying the shampoo. Do you use a conditioner and which one do you use? And if you don't, which one do you think I should try? With the summer heat and wind, my hair is a wreck. lol

Biloxi sounds like your dil is washing all the oil out of her hair. If she's gonna wash it everyday then I'd either use Cream of Nature which has conditioning properties in it or use a seperate conditioner with the shampoo. That or stop washing it every other day and just use a good brush to get the sand out.

Granny the 2nd one I mentioned above is the conditioner I use. But for you I'd just use the Cream of Nature shampoo like I said for Biloxi's gd. Or use your regular shampoo but also use a lil oil. Lisa's Hair Elixir would be good.

What is the difference between black hair and other hair? Really, I am very ignorant on this.

I'm not sure exactly ZM, butI do know that the shampoo has a lot more moisture/oil in it.

A coworker came to work one day, traumatized, and wearing a hat. Turns out she bought shampoo marked "for women of color" thinking that meant for color treated hair. It turned her thin straight blond hair greasy, and the more she washed it, the greasier it got!

She was not the brightest girl, and the poor girl will probably never live down that story.

I am wondering if that would work on my scalp. I have very very very dry scalp. I could go over a week without shampooing and you wouldn't know. (I know this because when I was so sick and on TPN I could only take a bath, I went to the hair salon for them to wash my hair...there was one time that I went 2 weeks without washing and you couldn't tell)

My scalp gets these dry sores on them. Not dandruff, but dry patches. Wondering if this stuff, or something similar would work?

My hair is fine, but thick.

We have a different hair texture and it's more fragile. It has a natural kink to it that varies in each of us. Our hair also requires alot more moisturizer. Shampoos that are for white people are more drying to our hair. We also do not need to wash our hair as often as white people because it strips too much of the natural oils from our hair. Unless you swim or exercise often then that does require more washing and more conditioning.

Mocha, Thanks! Where do you buy Cream of Nature? I have been looking around Carol Daughters website. I really like JPS's recipe. I wonder if it would be to harsh on Madelyn. She is 5 now. I am going to order some of the Jamaican Punch Shea Souffle. Mocha, before I place my order. Do you get any kind of discount or anything for recommending or referring people? If you do let me know what I need to before I order.

One last question. Do you think the ends of her hair can be saved or should we have them trimmed off?

Mocha, what commercial brand would you suggest. (like a Target) I would like to see if shampoo/conditioner for black hair would work for my very dry scalp. I have very dry hair too.

Biloxi and 'mom you can get Cream of Nature in your grocery store or Target or WalMart or any store like that. Or you can go to a beauty supply store in your areas. Nah no discount Biloxi, I wish I could lol. And I can't say about her ends though without seeing and feeling them. If it looks really bad then I'd trim them.

'mom I'd also try Cream of Nature. But get a small bottle just in case it's too heavy for your hair.

Oh and 'mom you could also try one of the Carol's Daughter shampoos because they aren't too harsh.

Thank you Mocha! I have tried every thing to get moisture into my scalp. I am going to Target tommorrow and will pick this up.

Should I get the conditioner too? I cannot comb my hair out without conditioner.

(I never apply conditioner to my scalp)

I think just the shampoo should do it. When I use it I don't need to use conditioner. Also if you need oil on your scalp you can also try some hair grease. Ultra sheen is good as well as Kemi Oyl or Lisa's Hair Elixir from Carol's Daughter. With the liquids you only need a lil drop and part your hair and rub it in and do that in different areas on your had and massage it in and then brush.

Again Mocha, thank you!

We have very very hard water here where I live. I think that is part of the problem.

I was going to do an apple cider vinegar rinse, but first I will try this shampoo. I have tried the oil from Aeeveno, but that didn't work. Like I said, I have tried everything. Maybe something that is gentle and adds extra moisture will do the trick.

I have always bought shampoo for very dry, brittle hair. My hair is dry, but mostly my scalp.
It's become so unmanageable lately that I am thinking of cutting it all off!

Yw. Oh and the vinegar rinse will strip all of the oils out of your hair and you don't need that. Let me know what you go with and how it's working out and if it's not then we'll try something else.

Uh well don't shave it.

I was going to do the vinegar rinse to see if it would help with the scalp sores. But first I will try the shampoo. If this kind of shampoo works then I will order from the website you posted earlier.

Right now I am making my list of all things I need at Target and I put this on my list.
