Your Connection

I discovered products last year when I decided to go natural after years of perms caused the hair on the right side of my head to break all the way down to 1/4 of an inch long! I started using only organic shampoos and natural butters & oils & rinsing with vinegar. Within 6 months my hair was long enough to put extension braids in.The products are sold by goingohm.com.  they are made from all natural oils & butters. The owner offers a small selection, but the items offered do the job. I use the Eureka growth elixer on my scalp every other night, & the hydrating hair milk(which by the way is much better than Carols daughters) on my twists daily to make them look soft. For scalp dryness I use a product named shea moisture dandruff & dry scalp elixir(sold at target) or on line at sheamoisture.com which seems to work. I dont see anymore dry flakes but if it is cold outside, my scalp will itch. the spray soothes the itching. I feel like a burden has been lifted now that I am natural. I wear 2 strand twists & these can be dressed up with scarfs & with those colorful locsoc hair bandanas.

Thanks for sharing and congrats on finding products that make your hair healthy :)

Hi Donna,

 

Thanks for sharing and the insights. I am happy that you found a product that works well.

I am almost 6 months natural. I found a few products that I like such as Carol's Daughter smoothie. The smoothie does wonders for detangling. I also like coconut oil and shea butter. For my twists, organic lock and twists gel works great! I am going to mix some water, infusium 23, and glycerin together and she how my hair does.

 

I just posted my 5 month natural hair journal on youtube..http://ning.it/hemIeD, take a look and enjoy!

Great video. Gotta give it to you! you sure were brave to chop everything off. Your hair is growing great. I was totally afraid to do that so I wore wigs & braids & cut off chunks each month from the remaining permed areas. I need to put up a picture, I don't have that many with my hair natural. I will try the smoothie to help detangle because it's a pain combing through after washing. Surprisingly I have not yet worn a twist out. I just wear the locsocs to accentuate. I guess I am lazy & thinking of the time it'll take me to retwist.

Hi Donna, thank you. The first time I did twists I was like omg, what did I do? But after the third time, it became natural to me. I tend to do my twist at night sitting in bed while watching TV. I would love to see a picture of a picture. Yes, please do try Carol's Daughter smoothie, it will indeed help with the detangling. Thanks again and talk with you very soon.

 

The Organic Root Stimulator Natural Care Lock and Twist Gel is great. It help defines your twists especially when you where a twist out.

I finally found a picture. This was in december'10. i don't like the root stimulator products because they contain chemicals I cant pronounce. & they claim to be organic but they are not. I don't use anything on my hair anymore that has chemicals.
