[mirrormirror]

Hey everyone Im new to the board and Im looking forward to posting. I really like this board, theres tons of advice on here. Im 21 yearsold and live in Maryland.So here is my hair bio. I have medium brown shoulder lenghth 3c hair. I get my hair relaxed (Affirm) about every 3-4 months. Every week I go to Luisa's hair salon (it's a Dominican salon) for a wash, deep condition and roller wrap. They only use products from the Dominican Republic. I do not use any heat on my hair, that means no flat iron, no curling iron, no blow dryer etc, and Ive maintained this for about 3 years and I will continue to do so. And I do not color my hair. I am really into healthy hair. The only oil I use on my hair is 100% pure Jojoba oil. I take Ultra evening primrose oil 1300mg capsules every day.

hey mirrormirror,

i love this board too, everybody here really keeps you motivated so you will achieve your goal, no matter what it is.
i am also very into healthy hair and try to do as less as possible to it. i usually let my hair air dry but once or twice a month i HAVE to blow dry my hair. i just love the straight/wavy bouncy look.
do you think the jojoba oil is better than the olive oil for hot oil treatments??

Welcome mirrormirror! /images/graemlins/smile.gif

From what you wrote, it sounds like your hair is in excellent shape. I too have completely eliminated heat from my hair regime and it has done my hair a lot of good.

Hey Nay I beleive Jojoba oil is better for the hair because it is the closest oil to your scalp sebum, the oil your hair naturally produces. Olive oil is a very heavy oil, it's really for extremely dry/damaged hair. Ive never done a hot oil treatment, so I dont really know what the differences would be. I like Jojoba oil cause its not greasy, it doesn't cause build up, doesn't wont weigh your hair down, it doesn't clog your scalp and its moisturizing at the same time.
