More African American Hair Growth?

I am growing out my relaxer, but I am fighting to keep moisture in my hair. Can anyone suggest a good hair product for coarse African American hair that gets dry very often as well as a natural straightener?

For transitioning, a good moisturizer is Qhemet Biologics Amla and Olive heavy cream. I've provided the link. It's made with all natural ingredients that support moisture retention and hair growth. I have very dry hair and it's the only thing that works for me. As you will see from most of the people who use it - via the testimonials, it's very effective.

It does not contain mineral oil or petroleum--both of which clog pores by attracting dirt and acting as a barrier to moisture.

Qhemet also carry great refreshing sprays that work well on dry hair. I also like the Karkady Replenishing Spray...works well on natural and relaxed.

In terms of natural straighteners--alot of people will say that they have this--but really its more for people who are all natural and who want to relax the curl in their hair. As the other person commented, Treasured Locks does have a "straightener." But it's really a clay that has be used multiple times and it is more effective for all natural hair that is kinky, but wants a solution to relax the curl. Even then, it's not that effective and can leave you with a bunch of junk in your hair--like sand from the clay...twigs..LOL...not sure what all of that is..but it is not for everyone.

Ideally, you want to soften your new growth and keep it moisturized. It helps to use a sulfate free shampoo, or to use a pre-poo technique. This will reduce the possibilty of drying out your hair during each wash. Avlon's Keracare make a good detangling shampoo...and their are some all natural "no poo" shampoos that work well. I've provided some additiona links below regarding this.

There are styles you can do that will work for transitioning--straw sets, twist outs...I've provide a link below that will talk about the style possibilities.

Miss Jessies has a great product for transitioning...as was as Kinky Curly. Both can set your hair into great twist out and straw-sets without using drying gels.

If you are planning on going for several months to a year to transition without cutting--then the natural style transitions are your best options. As you know, applying heat to the new growth will dry it out and eventually cause it to break.

Several hair care forums have some great tips for transitioning. There are so may tips that one may appeal to you more than the other. I've provided a link to the websites.

A good hair product is a hair grease by the name brand Medina. You may not be able to find that in the store but I think you can order it online.
