I managed to keep my hair, extensions free for almost two months now! Im actually really proud of myself! I never really had a full on weave it would just be the casual two tracks or three tracks. My hair is kinda thin so I need the extra volume.
Im trying to not dye or add extensions to my hair because that is what is causing my her to keep getting thiner. When I was in college my hair was so big and curly but i ruined it with chemicals like most girls do!
Don't get me wrong I absoloutly love having my hair straight but its so bad for my hair! So I have to unfortunetly change my ways.
I really want old curls back! These curls i have now are weak, sometimes "Frizz ease" helps but its so damn expensive to keep buying.
When I go to hairdressers they are sometimes confused like they don't know to do with my hair. I don't have Afro-Caribbean hair but I do go to Afro Caribbean hairdressers because most European hairdressers style my hair wrong! I have Somali/East African hair whatever you like to call it. I have recently found an Eritean hairdresser in North London that does my hair great but the place is kinda of pricey.
I just thought I would blog for the people that feel like their is no where to get help to take care of your hair.

Here Some Tips For Ladies With Afro-Caribean Hair:
- Oil your scalp on a regular basis with a good natural oil like shea butter. A daily moisturizer is not a bad idea
- Put as little heat as possible on your hair. Heat, especially combined with perms is very damaging to hair.
- Wash your hair no more often than every week to week and a half. More than that can dry it out.
- Comb your hair out while you're conditioning it to remove the tangles while it's wet and relatively slick.
