Redken?

I am moving to Angers, France (1.5 hours south of Paris) next year for 5 months. Right now I have a relaxer in my hair. Does anyone know of any salons in France that do Black American/ African hair? I dont want to have to carry relaxer stuff over there and attemp to do it myself. Also, cutting my hair off, getting a weave, going natural, and braides ARE NOT options. Thanks!

Hello my friend,
In France, of course there are many Afro salons, but most of them are in Paris and other big cities ( Marseille,Lyon,Strasbourg,etc…).
In Paris, you just have to go to Metro stations called ” Chateau d’eau ” ( 10th arrondissement) or “Chateau rouge” ( 18th arrondissement) and you’ll find plenty of salons everywhere…
In Angers, there is not a huge Black population, so I suppose that won’t be easy to find that.
I just saw this one on the pagesjaunes site :
Afrik Cosmétiques
7 bd Henri Arnauld 49000 ANGERS

Have a nice day !

Hi. I have been natural since November 2007 when I made the big chop. I currently have a TWA about 2 inches long. Anyway, I’ve been using Aphogee shampoo and conditioner and tea tree oil on my hair and scalp. My mother thinks I should be using Pantene Pro-V Relaxed and Natural. So my question, is Pantene good for natural black hair?

Hi! I have natural hair as well, since Sept 2005. I would say to use what works best for your hair. I have done the whole thing were you switch because people think it will be the best for your hair, what happened for me was I spent money on products that didn’t work for me. I would thank your mother for the advice, but if you the Aphogee is working for you then I would stick with it. Hope this helps .

It irritates me. They have relaxers or hair dye produts with a black woman on the cover wearing a big wig. Or the insulting ‘Africian Pride’ products that actually make your natural naps straight. How is that having pride for you hair?
Someone wrote on a resolved question why Beyonce does those hair dye commercials when she wears pieces. I always thought the same thing. First of all those dyes probably aren’t really made for black hair, and since when would those movie stars take that time to dye their weaves when they could order a piece that is the same color and isn’t damaged from the dye? I guess it is just like any other commercial; use fake props to make the people think they will get the same quality from the product.

I guess a better question would be what black woman does not wear a weave? I have alot of “black” friends and most of them have ruined thier hair with relaxers and glue in weave. I think it looks beautiful natural and they should leave it alone.

Margarita teaches you to braid, to minimize hair breakage and damage with clips from her video “Braiding With Hair Care In Mind”.

In the commercial world of fashion and glamour, when a modeling agency chooses a female model for modeling, it judges all the traits the female should have to be a successful model. Skin and Hair needless to say, play the most important part in a modeling career.

Care of body parts to be a female model is a must, and hair and skin care is the number one aspect of being beautiful. You may have different skin texture, height, body type all will fit. But a bad bunch of hair on the head means total failure and add to it unhealthy skin. Free flowing lustrous hair and healthy skin is an important part of a women’s beauty and even a slight loss of hair or loss of natural color and texture can mean an end to a successful modeling career. If you take care of your hair and skin you have a the world of modeling open for you-runway and teen modeling, mature and commercial modeling; swimsuit and bikini modeling, editorial and showroom modeling; television and promotional modeling, plus size and fitness modeling; even child modeling.

Ayurveda has played a huge role in hair loss treatment and preventing baldness. Many hair care solutions and hair loss products are there as a remedy for alopecia areata, alopecia totalis, female hair loss, male hair loss and graying hair

Hair loss help is much sought after and clinics for the treatment of hair disease are very popular.

The ancient system of medicine Ayurveda prescribes a strict regimen for hair care.

A nutritious diet prevents hair loss and premature graying. Include white sesame seeds, shredded fresh coconut, green leafy vegetables, whole grains, dates and raisins, fresh yogurt, bean sprouts, nuts and healthy fats such as ghee. Eat spices that aid digestion and purify body tissues-turmeric, black pepper, fenugreek, coriander and cumin. Avoid bad fats alcohol and nicotine for fitness.

If digestive toxins build up in the body-undergo periodic internal cleansing to flush away toxins. Triphala Rasayana (ayurvedic medicine) is a gentle cleanser that tones up the digestive system and promotes regularity.

Get plenty of sleep: Lack of sleep can lead to poor hair health and appearance. Go to bed before 10 p.m., during the Kapha time of the evening, to be able to fall asleep easier and get better quality of sleep.

Manage stress: High levels of mental and emotional stress can lead to falling hair, premature graying and dull-looking hair. Brahmi and Ashwagandha (ayurvedic medicine) support your natural ability to manage stress.

Make hair and scalp massage part of your hair care routine: Topical nourishment with warm oil infused with ayurvedic herbs maintain the color and luster of hair. Many herbal hair oils, balance for all hair deceases.

Follow a regular cleansing routine: Keep your hair and scalp clean to avoid itch and clogged hair follicles. Cleanse with a gentle herbal shampoo. Use lukewarm water to wash your hair, and follow with a natural conditioner or detangler. A neem water rinse will leave your hair soft and shiny.

Follow these treatments to keep your head full of hair and prevent hair loss and retain your beauty for ever…

I saw the commercial for Wen hair care, and it looked incredible! But I hear that it doesn’t work as well as they say. What hair care shampoos/conditioners will do that for me?
–I have really long, wavy hair that tends to crave moisture, but when I use conditioning products it loses volume and even gets greasy. I want it to look really healthy and defined.

ultra hydrating balm — biolage –you can buy it in a salon.
or try silk infusion –CHI–

I stopped getting relaxers in February, so I have lots of curly naturalness, but I still also have most of my hair that’s relaxed. Which hair care products would help my hair the most?

---

Hello, I also transitioned from relaxed to natural. The most important thing to do is to make sure you are practicing basic hair care techniques, here are a few:
*Wash your hair regularly with sulfate free shampoos.(at least once a week)
*Moisturize your hair regularly with a quality leave in conditioner.
*Seal in your moisture with oils (as needed)
*Protect the ends of your hair by cutting back on heat styling and wearing hair in protective styles (like buns and ponytails)
*Trim your hair as needed to get rid of split ends.
*Eat a healthy balanced diet and take vitamins
*Deep condition your hair regularly
*Do protein treatments to strengthen the hair.
