On Saturday 31 march, London held a natural hair workshop presented by hair expert Felicia Leatherwood.

For several years, Felicia has been running  hair workshops in partnership with haircare brands. Those workshops are coaching sessions for women who wish to review the basics of maintaining their afro hair.

Miss BB had the opportunity to listen to Felicia Leatherwood haircare tips. Here are some of them.

Shampoo: every 7 to 10 days, wash your hair 3 times to ensure your hair will be clean, always use a conditioner. Trim: trim your hair every 10 weks, cut half an inch. Blow your hair out before cutting them. Put a heat protective before blow out. Dandruff : apply a anti-dandruff shampoo on dry scalp before washing. Hairline : one of the best product to grow the hair line is “Jamaican black castor oil” or “organic roots stimulator”

Jane Carter, creator of the brand Jane Carter Solution was also attending to explain how to use her poducts. This workshop was really interesting, Felicia give us many useful tips that we never thought about before. She also made us discover good brands such as Shea moisturize, Jane Carter Solutions.

For those who could not attend the Natural Hair Workshop, don’t worry, other editions are forthcoming. Stay informed via  Natural Hair Academy fanpage.

Following her trip to New York, Miss BB has tracked down three moisturizing shampoo for your dry, curly or relaxed hair

Moisture nourishing shampoo by Jane Carter Solution

Jane Carter Solution is a natural brand specially designed for dry, frizzy, curly, wavy, curly, relaxed hair.

This shampoo gently and deeply cleanses scalp and hair, while restoring the balance of their hydration. Without paraben and silicone, it contains extracts of Coltsfoot, myrrh and the soothing balm and lemonscent.

Very moisturizing, it untangles hair. Upon application, Miss BB was pleasantly surprised she was able to slide her fingers through her hair and felt a sensation of freshness at her scalp.

Recommended for coarse hair.

Khoret Amen Herbal Shampoo with sea moss by Carol’s daughter

Sold at Sephora and Macy’s, Carol’s Daughter is natural brand that made a splash in the United States. Without Paraben, mineral oil or sodium laurel sulfate. It is very moisturizing for the hair. The only downside, the smell is very strong and much too earthy.

Hydrating  Detangling  Shampoo by Keracare

Keracare, whose reputation is proven, is a professional skincare brand dedicated to afro hair now publicly available..

This shampoo cleans and removes excess oil in hair and scalp without drying out. Its new formula is sulfate free and paraben free.

The shampoo is easy to spread on the hair. Thanks to its conditioning, Miss BB managed to untangle her hair with her fingers by washing. The hair is soft, easy to comb and hydrated.

For very dry, frizzy or relaxed hair

There are thousands of combs, brushes, styling products, conditioners for our coarse hair.

In my opinion none is up to TangleTeezer brush. It gently and deeply untangles your hair.

Easy to use, it is perfect for the impatients, comforters and toddlers.

Plastic and round shape, this brush looks more like a toy. However, its innovation and efficiency have enabled the creator to patent it.

All women with coarse hair should have it in their beauty kit. This would avoid some practices as confusing straightening with disentangling…
