Healthy Textures has been very busy! We want to let you know that we have listened to your comments and concerns and have been hard at work over the last 8 months developing a new project.
After blogging and running a forum for over two years, I noticed the overwhelming need for a "one stop" shop website that was highly organized and consistently updated with new and relevant content. A website that serves as a database of information as well as an interactive environment for people to communicate with the experts and share their own tips and techniques.
On November 1st, Healthy Textures will launch a new comprehensive healthy hair resource for women of color seeking healthier hair. This resource will be comprised of:

A lot of us, when we start our hair journey, spend a lot of time and energy on finding the right products. As soon as one person recommends a product, we race to the stores to buy it.
Soon, our cabinets and closets look like the newest beauty supply store on the block. Here are a few tips to help you avoid becoming a product junkie or pj, as we refer to them on the social network :)
1. Make a Rule
For me there are seven products I absolutely must have: shampoo, conditioner (one moisture, one protein), leave-in conditioner, moisturizer, serum and oil.
If a product comes in, one must go out. So, if I buy a new leave-in conditioner, its only because I've used up the last one. This ensures I only have seven products in my cabinet at all times. Make up your own rules and stick to them.

1. What is you styling preference (relaxed, natural, texlaxed) and hair type?
I am ‘tex-laxed’ and currently transitioning since July 2007. I believe I have a 3C hair type with a bit of 3B through out. But you know how confusing the hair typing system can be ☺ ….
2. What is your regimen? What products do you use and how do you style your hair from wet to dry and on a daily basis?
I conditioner wash and detangle my hair everyday in the shower. I shampoo my hair once or twice a week when needed (I use Aveda’s Shampure & Damage Remedy shampoos which are sulfate free). The only time I take to deep condition is when I clarify, which is every 2 1/2 - 3 weeks. I mix up a few conditioners together (Joicos Moisture Recovery Treatment Balm, ORS Olive Oil Replenishing Conditioner, Aveda’s Damage Remedy Reconstructor & Biolage’s Ultra Hydrating Balm) and deep condition for 25-30 minutes or overnight. I use a strong protein treatment every 6-8 weeks or when needed to strengthen my hair during this transition. I don’t care for oils of any type, and usually seal my ends with Wella Ends Express before my hair is dry (which is awesome stuff).
I don’t use combs. I despise them! I use only brushes for detangling and styling. I detangle my hair with a Denman D4 . My other brushes include an Aveda Paddle brush, Denman D200 vent brush & boar bristle brushes from Sephora and Conair. I use my hair sticks for sectioning and parting (in case you were wondering)☺.
