Has any black women used Ojon product I have thinning hair at the top of my head and looking to try

Don't know about the product...do know about the basics of growing hair. at a glance it seems good however i am still skeptical.



Currently i have long hair and have been learning alot so...



i do not have a relaxer i stopped getting them 5 years ago ( and i've only have 3 relaxers in my life time so this is all natural) so i can show you how to take care of hair with or without a relaxer. With relaxers retaining moisture is key.



1. The shampoo, unfortunately many black women are using shampoos with alcohol, petroleum jelly, and excessive amounts sulfates. step away from them. Use Aveda's shampoo.. specifically the name is Brilliant...go to the website. I use it, i love it, it moisturizes my hair and the products are natural. i have also heard that KeraCare's shampoo is great for relaxed hair.



2. Okay, step two condition it and then it is time to comb it out, Do not use a brush on you hair when it is wet..it will hate you for it then break off in revenge. Put your your sections use a big tooth comb, to untangle it



3. Do a hot oil treatment atleast once a month with extra virgin olive oil...repeat..EXTRA VIRGIN olive oil..not the regular stuff. unfortunately i have yet to take this step however my hair is doing great. Protein treatment could also be good for you( do some research to find out about the technique) and deep conditioning.



4. Okay on the daily basis you need to pay close attention to your hair...i recommend conditioning your scalp(3-4 times a week) and your ends(everyday) so that they will not get dry and unhealthy Petroleum jellly and mineral oil are weapons of mass destruction ( in other words do not use grease) it does so much harm to your hair it cannot be all explained here. So you ask what do I use...well natural carrier oils grapeseed oil ( use it for hair it deflects heat so it is good for flat iron users like us)jojoba oil(i use this for my scalp), extra virgin olive oil, sesame oil, emu oil, coconut oil...all these natural oils and more love you..i promise. Also put a drop of essetial oil such as basil, peppermint, myrrh, rosemary, tea trea oil in 4 tablespoons of carrier oil .



5. Next,,if you want your hair straight but still be natural it is time to get a freakin good flat iron.,i have the Chi..it does the job but I recommend getting the Sedu because of the good reviews. make sure to protect your hair..i have so thermal protector from Aveda. When flat ironing your hair do not let the iron stay on your hair for too long, just 1-2 quick swipes.



I strongly advise against flat iron use for those with relaxers.



6. If you have a relaxer ( i have heard and seen that Affirm ww.avlon.com is the best relaxer) don't continue to relaxer all your hair everytime you go to the salon..just the new growth and try to stretch relaxers as long as possible. It is best for relaxers hair to do roller sets under a hooded dryer,with the lowest temperature possible.



7. You do not need to trim your hair everytime you go to the salon maybe every 3 to 6 months.



8. Wrap your hair in a satin or silk scarf to prevent damage before you go to bed.



9. Eat healthy, drink lots of water, a diet with lean protein can help..this is easy for me since i love meat.



10 take multivitamins, and fish oil pills you can get from GNC.



Follow these steps and life will be good..the best part about flat iron (which i do once a week or every two weeks not everday since it will kill your hair) is that it is not stringy but thick and healthy, yet straight and light enough to blow in the wind.

Never heard of it. Try this web forum and see if they ladies her have used/heard of it. http://forum.blackhairmedia.com/



By the way what are the ingredients? Anything with mineral oil, petroleum jelly, lanolin oil is not good for the hair.

I am A/A and I have used Ojon products. I absolutely love them. The do have a series of products for thinning hair--thickening shampoo, conditioner and spray. I use the Shine and Protect series, personally.



I will say this, a couple of years ago I got a weave...it was absolutely gorgeous, but the color was slightly off from my own. I thought that I would color the part of my own hair that was left out.....wrooooong move!!! The dye got under the tracks and took a coin dollar size chunk off hair out of my head....baby *** smooth was the result, to be honest!!! I was scared to death...my Gram, who was an old school hair dresser told me to use Glover's Mane...it stinks like I don't know what,and is a disgusting color. But, guess what my hair was back, bald spot completely filled and in about 2 months. I still use it on my edges when I get my hair braided.



Vitamins are abig help too, especially prenatal vitamins.
