Understanding Your Products and Moisture

My non-hair channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/Thebestofvanie Oils, butters, and pomaded does not add moisture a water and water based products does. An alternative to hard water is rain water...am I gonna catch rain water...nah lol. But I have friends in Jamaica that only have rain water as their main source of water.

@Camstar1000 ....The hydrogen bond is a weak physical side bond that is easily broken by water or heat. Hydrogen bonds can be reformed by drying or cooling the hair. These bonds are very abundant in the hair.

@Camstar1000 Here is info on hair composition...if you want me to share link I can email it to you: The middle layer of the hair, the cortex, is made up of millions of polypeptide chains cross-linked with each other by three different types of side bonds. The bonds that link up the polypeptide chains of the hair are hydrogen, salt and disulfide bonds. Hydrogen bonds account for one-third of the hair's strength.

Wooooo, major error on the hydrogen bond binding activity hun.....arrrgg avoid it if you can. Chemical engineer (phd) here! I work in research in pharma and body care, i would say if in doubt, leave it out.

Nice hair though.

@Camstar1000 Sweetheart I wasn't saying to put hydrogen bonds in your hair lol. Each strand of hair has hydrogen bonds as a part of it's makeup. I think you need to research this. By the way, I am also a Ph.D student :).

Thank you for the great advice about the leave in conditioner! I will try to do the kimmytube. THe only problem I have is the aloe vera juice. I can't find it anywhere!

[organicloc]

@Hasalaiya3 Hey, I used regular rinse out conditioners as a leave in. What I do is add a little oil and aloe vera juice and mix it together. Kimmytube leave in recpt. But I have been doing that before kimmytube (4yrs) and have no problems. If you read the ingred. for leave in and rinse out conditioner it has about the same ingred. to make sure the rinse out don't dry out my natural hair, I like to add oil (any kind) and the aloe juice to balance it out. Hopes that helps ;D

What a useful video! Wld u know I never knew pomades held the hair, thought they were intense sealers - which is only half true! Like your hair, mine can't be too wet loose so I make use of moisturisers. There is really a science and technique to Afro hair, guess thts why my hair never really grew as mch until I discovered yt last year

braids, its vine like reaction will cause it to loc up in short order! Its so interesting how alike afro textured hair is, yet how so different...
