Q. I have 4a natural hair and I don't understand why my hair is breaking. I have low porosity hair and sit under a dryer while deep conditioning (with a processing cap over it). I co-wash my hair every other week and the weeks that I don't co-wash I wash my hair with a shampoo (since I have low porosity hair) and then deep condition. I moisturize my hair in the morning and at night by first spraying my hair with warm water and then using a small amount of coconut oil to seal in the moisture. I am very gentle with my hair. I recently cut an inch off my hair and have no split ends. Overall, my hair looks healthy but it is still breaking. I don't do protein treatments as much because my hair doesn't like protein and breaks even more when protein is added. I do protective styles during the weekdays and wear my hair in braid outs and twist outs on the weekends. I do hot oil treatments as my pre-poo treatments using coconut oil. I only use natural hair products that contain no silicone and I use products with gylercin. My hair responds well to these products making my hair soft and giving it a sheen. Here is a list of the hair products I use:
- Shea moisture balancing conditioner
-Giovanni weightless leave- in conditioner
- Water
- Extra virgin coconut oil
-Homemade whipped shea butter (use only when wearing hair out)
P.S. I do not put heat on my hair other than the deep conditioning under a hooded dryer.

Answer
comb your wet hair, do not brush it wet, that causes breakage
watch the comb /brush you use, some are harsh on hair
go to Ulta, and they have lots of products there that could help you
talk to a sales person

how to define my curls? I just want to go natural but looks like a mess at the moment. Not enough body and it is not standing up at all. What' shall I do plz
Answer
You can use a product called "Kinky Curly Custard". Its great for defining tight curls.
The key to having nice defined curls is moisture and LOTS of it. Are you using a good conditioner? Try Suave Naturals Coconut Conditioner as well as some natural coconut oil (MAKE SURE IT CONTAINS NO PETROLEUM).
4b/c hair type has a "z" pattern and very little curl. Tends to be dry. This is the kinkiest hair type.
4a has an "s" pattern. Very curly, can be dry.
Be patient and give your hair some time to grow. Natural hair is naturally beautiful. If your feeling down about your hair go to youtube and check out some natural hair videos. They can be very inspiring.
Good luck!
