Hey,
I've been natural all of my 19 years, but am now starting to take an interest in how to look after my hair and what to put in it.
Is there any advice someone could give about what would be good for my hair(maybe 3c/4a) and products that would help with the length?

I'm from London, UK so also if you know of shops that stock them, and not so much buying online.

Thanks =)

Olivia

Hi Olivia,

What condition is your hair is right now? Does it need moisture? If so, deep condition very well, then maintain your ideal moisture level by washing your hair as often as possible with conditioner, then leave-in a water-based conditioner such as Giovanni Direct Leave In. I think that Giovanni is sold world-wide. Does your hair seem coarse and wirey? You may need a really good protein treatment. A mayonnaise/avocado combo could possibly do the trick for you here. In order to achieve length, you must avoid split ends and keep your hair well moisturized and in protective styles. Let us know more and maybe others can add to what they've learned or know.

I've been there. Natural for a long time and not really putting any effort to care for my hair. I found out what to use through trial and error. But the condtion of your hair will have a lot to do in regards to how you need to start taking care of it.
The products I have the most success with are:
Shea Butter
Coconut Oil
Suave Conditioners & Shampoos
Olive Oil

if you can post a pic of your hair then i think it would make it easier for people to recommend product/regimes.

Agreeing with Dajewel (love that name!). If we could see a picture, then maybe we could offer a bit more advice. My avatar to the left there obviously just shows my hair and not my face, so if you're shy like me, then you can just give us a shot of your hair only. By the way, this weekend marks month 3 after my BC, so I will post a new picture then to show my growth! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
