Question: How can I maintain my curls after a silk press?

Answer from @sosheargenius: To maintain your silk press you would want to start with a frizz fighting heat protectant before blow drying the hair. Shear Genius Collection’s ‘Satin Shield’ is a great choice. It is alcohol-free and loaded with organic extracts to make the hair extremely smooth and sleek.

Then after styling, you would want to make sure to keep the hair wrapped every night with a silk or satin scarf to keep it silky and straight. If I was trying to style the curls, I would either throw a few medium sized flexi rods in it or pin curl it with some double prong curl clips and set it under a silk or satin bonnet.

The silk/satin texture keeps the hair nourished because cotton will dry it out and the last thing you want is dry and brittle hair and that will cause it to break.

Cool Tip: Try switching out your pillow cases to silk instead of cotton to avoid breakage as well. Also please remember to protect your hair while you work out. Try wrapping it up with a silk scarf or a satin head tie to keep your edges smooth.

Q. “There seems to be a period of “withdrawal” from the creamy crack while going natural.  What advice would you give to those trying to grow out their relaxers and for those who big chopped and are now dealing with dryness, fragile ends and breakage? 

A.  If you want to allow your hair to grow out while cutting your relaxer out a little at a time, this is difficult because your hair does go through a “withdrawal.” It is a stage in your natural hair journey that requires major TLC. I recommend the same washing regimen for all ways of growing out processes: PROTEIN, MOISTURE, and LEAVE-IN CONDITIONER.

If you decide to braid or weave your hair up until its the length you desire:

• Never keep your braids for more than eight weeks and keep the scalp oiled. In between braids give yourself protein and moisturizing treatments. When taking out your braids/weaves be sure to thoroughly soak hair with water, apply a generous amount of conditioner and use a wide tooth comb or pick to detangle hair starting from the ends up.
  • 1. Wash with your desired shampoo. My favorite is Avlon Kera Care Hydrating Detangling Sulfate Free Shampoo.
  • 2. Apply your treatment.
  • 3. Apply a leave in conditioner, Avlon Kera Care Leave in is my absolute FAVORITE. After that, you can reinstall your braids/weave.

For those who Big Chopped:

This is where you get to know your natural hair up close and personal. The recipes for your hair may vary. You have to try different products to satisfy your desired look for your hair. OIL AND LEAVE-IN CONDITIONERS are your best friend. Always oil your scalp and then brush your hair so the oils can be distributed throughout your hair. I love Coconut Oil, it’s the oily oil that best penetrates the hair shaft.

Q: There are so many hair care products available that it can be hard to create a regimen perfect for my individual hair needs. What should I consider when creating a regimen? What must-have product types should I include?

Vernon François: When you’re looking for a regimen that’s going to be really productive, and you’re going to get greatness from it in terms of how your hair responds to it, there are several things to pay attention to:

1. Your diet. Make sure you’re drinking plenty of water, and make sure that if you’re not using hair oils, that you’re putting oils into your body, such as taking fish oil or eating avocado.
2.  Your nighttime haircare routine. Your sleeping regime is really important, especially for ladies who have thicker, curlier hair types. Sleep with a silk (or satin) pillowcase or wrap your hair with a silk scarf to help prevent split ends, keep your hair moisturized and help retain shine.
3. Use a microfiber towel to dry your hair. Microfiber helps to absorb the moisture without taking too much [moisture] out and without ripping the shafts of your hair.
4. Find brands that work with your hair type, and mix and play with those. It’s really important that within any brand to use one of their shampoos [from one collection] and use a conditioner from the same brand, but from a different collection. That will balance it out a little bit because sometimes being too consistent doesn’t work well for all your hair’s needs. I find it really hard to find someone with really thick, long hair that hasn’t been color processed. So, for example, you want something to keep your hair soft but protect it from the coloring process. You have to find a balance.
5. Finger comb and detangle. Use your fingers and be a bit more patient.
6. Use a good serum. A good serum works for everyone! It helps to protect your hair from environmental and heat damage.

It is safe to say, as hair short hair lovers, we still appreciate the beauty and artistry put into today’s protective styles.

Be it a cute high ponytail or long sewn extensions, there is art and creativity to be found in each style. Who says short-haired girls have to miss out on the fun?Braids, sewn weave installations, and crochet extensions are beautiful additions to short haircuts, but can be extremely damaging. Although these styles can be very alluring, consult your stylist to ensure you are making healthy hair choices.

An example of traction alopecia. @razorchicofatlanta

Traction Alopecia is real! Let’s say this together: Trac-tion Alo-pecia! This form of alopecia is caused by cosmetic stress and tension on the follicles.  Styles that require the hair to be forced in one direction can lead to this very common disorder. As a result, you can experience small bumps along the hairline, tenderness of the scalp, followed by hair loss.

Protective styles are not the enemy, neither are ponytails or hair accessories! However, poorly executed and mismanaged hairstyles can lead to serious damage.

Here are a few friendly tips on how to keep your follicles healthy and happy:

Use Protein Treatments.

Adding a protein treatment to your regimen is a great preventative measure to take.  Monthly protein treatments will help  strengthen you hair strands and lessens the chance of breakage. ApHogee Hair Care products offer an easy-to-use and
budget-friendly protein treatment.

You gotta relax!

How often do you pull your hair up into a nice tight puff, to achieve a cute “pineapple” style? Or how many times do you have to brush your hair to get the perfect-slicked back ponytail? Too much tension will break the hair strands and can pull the hair out from the root.  Simple practices like brushing too hard or twisting too tightly, can be the start of traction alopecia.

Change your protective styles every 6-8 weeks.

It is important that we keep an eye on our hair, and how can we do that if we never see it? I love sewn weave installs and “Poetic Justice” braids just like the next girl, but it is important that we don’t over wear our style. Six to eight weeks should be the maximum time to keep one hairstyle, before shampooing your hair.  Cleaning the scalp of build up helps promotes hair growth!

If you are already experiencing Traction Alopecia-like symptoms, contact your local dermatologist for prescribed treatments, and begin seeing a licensed professional hairstylist.

Whether your hair stylist calls it a  “trim,” “clip,” or  “clean up,” it is safe to say that’s code for “your hair is getting cut!” But, what if I told you the key to hair growth is in the trim? 

Yes, it may sound strange, and completely “anti” hair growth, but truth be told, regular trims are necessary to maintain healthy hair.  You can go from blog to blog and see different answers on how often one should trim their hair, but according to Milady Cosmetology Standard, a professional cosmetology book, one should trim their hair ends every eight to twelve weeks, which is about every two to three months.

We all know when it comes to hair, each person’s routine will be different.  But, there are several factors that ought to be considered before deciding on a regular trim schedule.

1. What condition is your hair in?

Hair that is healthy will be visibly healthy, right? Hair that is damaged will need to be trimmed more often. Little trims or full haircuts are the only fixes for damaged hair.  It is a myth that certain products can fully regenerate the hair strand after damage.  If you are experiencing shedding or hair breakage, see a professional hairstylist, as you will need to get your hair trimmed more often to begin to get rid of the damage.

2. Do you have healthy hair?

Healthy hair will always fulfill the three “S’s”— STRONG, SHINY, and SOFT.  Those who have healthy hair can begin a regular trim schedule of every eight to twelve weeks.

Hair is made up of protein and amino acids. A healthy cuticle or outer layer should be STRONG and able to withstand day to day practices like brushing or use of hot tools without damage.  If you fear that you do not have strong hair, then try using a protein treatment from your local beauty supply store.

Is your hair shining? The SHINY appearance of the strand is a reflection of the porosity or moisture in your hair. A highly glossy appearance is the result of regular deep treatments and moisturizing.

Healthy hair will always have smooth cuticles, creating a SOFT feel. This has nothing to do with your texture type! No matter if you identify as 3b or 4c, your strands should never feel hard.  Hard hair can be caused by lack of moisture or over processing. Often, hair that is hard to the touch, will act unruly and will not respond well to hair products.

3. What about trimming natural hair?

When you go on YouTube, you can find hundreds of girls cutting their hair curly.  There many techniques available online, but how do you know if your trimming accurately? A curly cut or trim will never be as accurate as a trim or cut that is performed on straight hair.  When the hair is curly, it isn’t fully elongated and can appear shorter at first glance.  However, when a professional hairstylist trims hair, they use proper tension to get the full length of each strand.

When transitioning from relaxed to natural, it is very important to regularly trim your hair.  The big chop is a technique that will get you back to your natural hair the fastest, but it certainly is not the only way to journey back. Many people choose to transition or cut off their relaxed ends little by little. These people will need to see a hairstylist at least every 4–6 weeks, to help ensure they do not lose their hair to day-to-day friction.

Admit it, we all love rocking beautifully straightened hair from time to time. Be it a coarse 4c texture or the loose curls of a 3C girl; it’s always extra chic to rock straight hair. But, how do you know which technique is best for your specific needs?

Have no fear; The Cut Life is here to get you the “deets” on all you need to know about the most commonly used professional techniques.

Chemical Relaxers

We all know about that good ole’ creamy crack, and what “they” tell us about it. But the truth is, it isn’t that bad for most people. If you would like to permanently straighten your natural hair, there is a safe way to do it! Professional stylists know the proper way to perform this chemical treatment, and hair care companies are now creating protective serums that help prevent the strands from being over processed. These protective serums or “pre-chemicals” help create an even playing field for the relaxer and allows the process to work evenly throughout the hair. As a result, you get healthy, relaxed hair.

Lye vs. No-Lye Relaxers

There are many different types of chemical relaxers out on the market, with very different chemical makeups. However, most beauty supply brands carry popular “no lye” relaxers like ORS Olive Oil or Gentle Treatment. But what is the real difference?

• Lye-based Relaxers

Lye relaxers are the oldest chemical relaxer available and by far the harshest on the hair strands. Lye relaxer is made up of Sodium hydroxide, which is the same chemical found in drain cleaner. So, it is safe to say it is best to be out with the old and in with the new in this case.

• No-Lye Relaxers

No lye relaxers are advertised as a newer healthier development for hair straightening. These relaxers are made up of Lithium Hydroxide and Potassium Hydroxide, which allows for the same performance and results as the Lye relaxer system.

How powerful should you relaxer be?

Most chemicals relaxers come in three strength levels: mild, regular, and super. Each relaxer’s strength has a different concentration of hydroxide. A professional stylist ought to assess which strength would be best for you.

• Mild relaxers are for those with fine, color treated, or mildly damaged hair. Mild strength will allow for the hair to be straightened without over processing or further damage.
• Regular strength relaxers are for regular hair, easy right? If your hair is in good condition, and there is no visible damage, then this is the relaxer strength for you.
• Super relaxers are not commonly used as they have the most hydroxide and can become very damaging. The best candidates for a super relaxer are those with very coarse, extremely curly, and resistant hair. It is recommended that you allow a professional stylist assess your hair before choosing super strength relaxers.

Silk pressing vs. Press-n-curls

Yes, I remember the days when my grandma would pull out the ole school hot comb and straighten my hair. The smell of the iron burning on the stove, while I squeezed my eyes shut as she “singed” my edges for church. I love you grandma, but luckily there are newer tools with temperature controls and are made of metals that allow a safer and healthier straightening process.

Silk pressing allows natural hair gals to enjoy straight hair without damaging their natural curl pattern. When the hair is properly silk pressed, it will revert to its naturally curly state without damaged or loosened curls. So how do we prevent damage?

The key to a successful silk press is the good flat iron, heat protectant, and moisture. Now I am not suggesting that you add loads of oil or moisturizer to your hair before straightening it. The moisturizing must start well before the straightening process by washing and deep conditioning with quality moisturizing products.

Oil-infused shampoos and conditioners help aid the hair in staying straight. Products like Cream of Nature Argan Oil shampoo and conditioner are a great help (in most cases) when performing silk press services.

Keratin Treatments

Keratin straightening treatments are for semi-permanent straightening processes, in other words, this product is not intended to break your hair bonds. The keratin system is a commonly used chemical treatment for naturals clients. However, this not to be confused with keratin conditioners or pomades, as keratin alone cannot straighten your hair.

Most keratin chemical systems are partly made up of formalin, and when heat activated, it turns into formaldehyde. Once the chemical service is performed, the hair is blow dried and finished with a flat iron press. The keratin chemical treatment leaves the hair less frizzy and can last up to three to five months.

Please note, poorly executed and mismanaged keratin chemical treatments can result in permanently straightened hair. Sadly, many naturalistas are forced to cut inches of hair due to over processing, which left their curls loose and dry.

The post Which hair straightening method is best for me? appeared first on The Cut Life.

From the straightest to the curliest, hair for the black woman has always been a true reflection of her soul. Be it locs or silks presses, each style tells a story. Hair in the black community is bigger than a hot look or trend; it is self-expression tinged with creativity.

So, in a world of beauty gurus with extensive hair knowledge from YouTube University, one can only wonder what is real and what is mythical? Let’s debunk some of today’s most popular hair myths.

This myth is completely false. After much debate, it has been proven that an overly greasy scalp causes dandruff. Dandruff or Pityriasis is the result of a fungus called Malassezia. Don’t trip; this is completely natural, it happens to everyone with hair! However, as a result of the overproduction of skin cells, we try to camouflage it with a bunch of quick fixes, like oils and sprays. No ma’am! No sir! Put the tea tree oil down, please!

To my fellow flaky friends, you need to wash your hair more often than you realize. Washing your hair weekly with an anti-dandruff shampoo and conditioner will help eliminate your flakes.

This myth is false. When we talk about color, we are speaking on an extensive range of products ranging from high lift colors using a lightener to gentle plant-based henna and semi-permanent colors. So, technically this myth is incorrect. It is completely safe to color your hair using semi-permanent lines, and henna-based colors.

However, it is debatable whether or not a pregnant woman should get high lift color services performed. According to Carrie Ann Terrell, MD, a practicing OB-GYN, “The main risk with dyeing your hair during pregnancy is the risk associated with inhaling ammonia, not the risk of it being absorbed in your scalp.” The commonly believed myth is that once the ammonia enters the bloodstream, it can affect the baby. Dr. Terrell believes that color products with low ammonia levels in well-ventilated hair salons are safe.

This is completely false. I see so many women damaging their hair by experimenting with color lightener, or different protective styles, all in the name of “my hair is natural, I’m good.” No, no, no! If you are 100% natural (chemical free), you ought to be showing your hair all the lovin’. Our kinky curly tresses in the natural state are fragile and need to be looked after. This is especially so for people who wear a lot of protective styles.

We all love braids, weaves, and crochet, and the convenience of a protective style is incomparable. Those few extra moments of sleep in the morning are everything! But for my Naturalistas, it is very important that you pair these styles with quality products, before, during, and after slaying your protective style. For newer Naturalistas, Be sure to incorporate a monthly protein treatment in your routine.

This is absolutely false. As many of my short hair stunners know, your hair grows faster when you cut! Trimming our ends is the secret to hair growth. Trimming gives the hair a fuller appearance and helps stop breakage. To keep your hair healthy be sure to see your stylist every six to eight weeks.

False! My grandma always told me: “Ya gonna be baldhead if ya keep putting your hands in your hair.” My grandmother was referring to the commonly shared idea that constantly brushing, and “tending” to your hair promotes hair growth, which is completely false! My grandma ain’t never wrong!

Today, with all the cute and trendy hair ideas posted all over the media, it is easy to switch your hairstyle daily. But routinely smoothing those baby hairs and slicking our hair back for high ninja buns, will eventually cause traction alopecia and hair breakage. Tension from hair pulling and braiding can create bald spots or completely damage the follicle.

So, I ask you to fight the urge ladies, because honey, you can’t buy real edges!

The post 5 hair myths debunked! appeared first on The Cut Life.

Everyone knows if you want to spice up your hair life or take your hairstyle from dull to dope, you just add a little color. For thin hair, dark colors can make it appear fuller and healthier. For curly hair, hair color can help show off your volume. Its magic, but as we know you have to take the good with the bad. So brace yourself, Cut Life fam.

Its magic, but as we know you have to take the good with the bad. So brace yourself, Cut Life fam.

Hair color is known to dry out the strands due to the change of the hair’s inner structure. Furthermore, your hair can end up looking dull thanks to a lack of moisture and split ends. From semi-permanent color to lightener, if the product is not maintained properly, you can end up with serious problems.

So if you feel like you are being attacked by the color damage demon, no worries because I’ve got a few easy ways to nurse your hair back to health.

Trims

Hair color damage can only be fixed by cutting the affected area. Sorry, darling, there is no miracle in a jar that can help you avoid that! So, let’s take baby steps. When my clients, are showing signs of color damage from over coloring their hair, I suggest small trims every other visit. This allows for a more gradual transition and gives the hair time to grow.

Get More Protein

Along with trimming your hair ends, try adding a protein treatment into your hair regimen. Protein treatments help strengthen your hair strands and restore keratin lost to coloring and styling. However, be careful to not overuse protein treatments, as it can have a negative effect on your hair. Use a protein treatment once a month for best results.

Protein-based conditioners like Mielle Organics’ Babassu and Mint Deep Conditioner, will give small doses of protein with every use. The moisture of the Babassu palm oil paired with the active protein makes for the perfect hair mask. Making any protein based conditioner a part of your regular hair routine, will leave your hair shinier and lessen the appearance of damage.

Moisturize

If you’ve got color damaged hair, then it is time to get your moisturizing game strong. Moisturized hair strands are less likely to break, allowing for better results when styling. A moisturizing cream or serum can serve as a protective barrier when using heated tools like curling irons or wands.

Also, try using a moisture retention shampoo, like Cream of Nature Argan Oil Shampoo. Oil-infused shampoos are a great way to ensure that you are not stripping the hair. This is especially important in the winter months, as the air is much dryer.
