What "The Knotty Truth" Says About Going Natural

Picture found at Amazon.com

So it has been approximately three years and 3 months since I went natural. My transition left me feeling so exhilarated and enlightened. I was ready to conquer the world; natural world that is. If only during that transition I had read the book, "The Knotty Truth." I know I would have been better equipped with what worked and what did not work. I am aware that we all do not have the same hair texture and that we all have to try different products; however, “The Knotty Truth,” provided great products for natural hair with important information regarding what that particular product did for the hair. The examples below provide hair information that I found important and very helpful:

CSDSRCD- This stands for conditioning, sectioning, detangling, shampooing, rinsing, condition, and detangle. This is the hair washing process that the book suggest that natural individuals use for “Happy hair.”

 

Essential Oils

Chamomile- hair sheen, conditions

Basil- Hair growth

Peppermint- promotes hair growth

Cedarwood- antiseptic, cleanser, toner; treats dandruff, increases growth

Eucalyputus- Cleanser

Frankincense- Stimulates sebum production

Lemongrass- Clean fresh smell, slows down oil production

Rosemary Oil- aids in hair growth (not for pregnant women)

Tea Tree Oil- Treats oily hair, dry scalp; natural antiseptic

Ylang Ylang- antiseptic, stimulates growth; controls sebum production

Lemon- Cleanser, hair lightener

Lavender- Soothes senses, treats dandruff

Sage- Natural cleansing and reviving properties of dead hair follicles  

Check back soon and I will review info on moisturizers and conditioners suggested by the book.

 If you are planning on going natural or have already done so, I highly recommend obtaining your very own copy of, “The Knotty Truth.” This DIY book allows you to learn ways to manage your own naturalness, while keep your looks stylish and fresh.
