How do I maintain natural African hair in the middle of hell?

Question

I recently went natural, and cut off the majority of my hair. Everything went pretty well, and during that time the wheather was really nice. Unfortunatley, its now gotten to about 95 degrees, and my hair is all kinds of crazy...dry, brittle, and nasty looking. How do I maintain moisture in my hair (I do have a spray bottle with H20, and moisturizer), and maintain a fro that doesn't shrink by the end of the day? Mind you, I live in the middle of AZ where it can get up to 120! All answers appreciated!

Answer 1

"Kimbo" maybe what you need. Kimbo is a butter produced in Kenya, which people actually use for food. Here in Ethiopia, however, it's known to make wonders to your hair, which makes sense because what your hair needs is what your body needs. The best part of it is, Kimbo doesn't even smell like butter. It's odorless and vanishes in your skull (?) real quick. So, message your skull (?) with a bit of Kimbo every night before you go to bed and braid your hair. A simple braid would do. After braiding your hair cover your head with a scarf tightly and go to sleep. Your hair would look amazing when you comb it in the morning.

Sorry for my english, i don't know many hair (styling) terms. But you'll get the idea.

Answer 2

You should find a really good conditioning shampoo and conditioner, I suggest Pantene Relaxer and Natural. You should also get a good deep conditioner at least twice a month, my suggestion: Motions CPR. Now to maintain moisture throughout the week I suggest Organic Root Stimulators Olive Oil line. It works really well.

Answer 3

Try to stay away from fried foods , soda and chocolate .when you wash your hair use distilled water and moisturize your hair with pink oil before styling .I also recommend cream of nature product's.
