Caveat to all this: I have EXTREMELY thick, coarse, porous hair. It's the only reason I can get away with it.

I use a 1-inch flat iron and 3/4-inch curling iron for these styles every morning because otherwise my asian hair would just be flat, stiff, and straight.

If you guys who also have a two-block have any styling questions I’d be glad to help you out :)

edit: I ask my hairdresser for a soft two-block (with #2 all around the sides and back) and for straight/blunt bangs up to my eyebrows.

Hi,
are you talking about this argan oil? cant find one fore extra thick and coarse hair

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005DYJZ7M/ref=mp_s_a_1_7_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1550270257&sr=8-7&keywords=argan+oil&dpPl=1&dpID=41fhZx%2Bua0L&ref=plSrch

The four things that helped me the most were washing my hair less, hair, anti frizz serum, letting my hair air dry/using less heat, and using a bit of argan oil.


My hair is a similar texture to yours, and I used to wash it every day or at least condition it every day. Now I wash and condition it every other day and. On the days I don't wash it, I put some dry shampoo on my roots and brush in in before going to bed. I also switched to washing my hair at night and letting it air/towel dry, and this is probably what helped the most. On nights when I do wash my hair, I brush in a small amount of argan oil once my hair is mostly dry. I also live in a humid environment so I comb in a bit of anti frizz serum in the mornings.


I also avoid heat in general. I used to straighten and curl by hair using an iron a lot, and even though I used heat protection spray, it damaged my hair. I don't straighten my hair anymore, and I use rollers or braids to curl/wave my hair now.


I basically found that less is more. Less heat, less washing/conditioning, and a small amount of a coupe products.

one of the best $8 solutions you can do is add Argan oil/Morroccan oil to your regiment (after washing, apply liberally). Something like this.

​

​

​

1.) Blue: a classic, blue jeans. Need I say more?

2.) Summer: what says summer more than memories of being a kid and making sandcastles? Exactly .

3.) Food related: okay, so this is personal. I am Italian and no one I have ever met has this in their homes. We make our pizzas in normal ovens or just go down the street to one of the many takeaway restaurants. What is a pizza oven and why does anyone need one!

4.) Someone else: I decided to go random wishlist on this and what better way to learn something new about someone that go through their lists?! So I got /u/krispykremedonuts and her wishlists are full of amazing things. And a lot of socks. Someone get this girl some socks! I would get her socks. 😂

5.) Book: you need to read Sum: 40 tales from the afterlives. I recommend this to anyone who would listen. It's 'speculative fiction,' whatever that means, but essentially it's 40 short stories about what may happen after we die. It may sound weird, but seriously, trust me. Read the wiki page of it if you need to be convinced or the Amazon product description. It really makes you think and sticks with you!

6.) Under $1: This was hard! But I found the cutest mini-pens. One dollar, free shipping, AND adorable. BAM!

7.) Dogs: I've been considering getting this fancy brush. It's supposed to be super good for dogs with long hair!

8.) Not useful but awesome: Okay, so I have been obsessed with the idea of being able to print photos from my phone since forever. Useful? Most definitely not, awesome...HECK YES! Check this out!!!


9.) Movie: Life is Beautiful. It's about selfless love. It's beautiful and I can't speak more about it without bursting into tears. If you've seen it, you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't seen it, WATCH IT. It's incredibly beautiful and moving.

10.) Zombies: You definitely need a machete to defend yourself. This is even sharp on both sides!!!

11.) Needs and current goals: At this moment in my life, any sort of clothing would change my life because there is only so much sewing you can do before your clothes start looking very sad. BUT, since it has to do with current goals, a pair of workout leggings would really help in my workout goals! I've lost 3kg in the past 3 months! It's not a lot, but damn I'm SO happy :D :D :D

12.) Add-On item: Oh, add-ons...groans

13.) Fandom: CAW!

14.) So expensive: $11,703.38 carpet cleaner. I don't even know. But at least it has free shipping!

15.) Sharks: temporary tattoos!

16.) Good smells: I adore the smell of rosemary.

17.) Toy: I absolutely loved my jump rope. I had the red one! I got super good at it and my friends and I would jump rope together around the neighborhood like a bunch of weirdos. Such good memories though :D

18.) Writers: never underestimate the need of coffee in any job you may have.

19.) Current obsession: so it's almost summer and I am obsessing over which ankle bracelet I want. I feel naked without them. It's a problem 😂

20.) Random: this is what I got one of my last contest winners. I saw it on one of their wishlists and couldn't resist!!!

It doesnt affect the pillow at all actually. This is the one I use, it's awesome.

I just put it in my hair while wet before bed (just pour on your hands and rub your hands through your wet hair, I also comb/brush my hair back after), and when I wake up my hair is proper thick. Then in the morning i wash it normally and blow dry and its epic.

I actually bought it to try make my hair shiny and improve the look of it but it added so much volume as well.

You cam also achieve decent results just with a good conditioner, just keep it in your hair for long, stay in the shower longer than normal. Then blow dry afterwards. But the oil for sure adds a next level to it.

Change your shampoo. I recommend OLX Moroccan Argan Oil. These bottles will last you a long, long, long time because they're concentrated.

https://www.amazon.com/OGX-Organix-Morocco-Shampoo-Conditioner/dp/B00OU0IHQU/ref=sr_1_6_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1518576240&sr=8-6&keywords=ogx+moroccan+argan+oil+shampoo&dpID=516pMIGuCIL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

You don't have to wash your hair every time you shower; you can just shampoo a couple times (or less) a week and either just rinse it between times or use a "co-wash" like this stuff:

https://www.amazon.com/Pantene-Pro-V-Truly-Natural-Co-Wash/dp/B00IOYI1LO/ref=sr_1_1_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1518576347&sr=1-1&keywords=pantene+cowash&dpID=41R9M-11-FL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

Stop rubbing your hair with that towel! Just squeeze your hair with it. Yeah, it's still going to be pretty damp. Now rub a couple drops of this on your palms:

https://www.amazon.com/OGX-Renewing-Penetrating-Sustainable-Ingredients/dp/B005DYJZ7M/ref=sr_1_4_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1518576435&sr=1-4&keywords=argan+oil+of+morocco&dpID=412vEqXkxwL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

and wipe your palms on your head and then comb your fingers through your hair.

Done! Oh, you want styling products?

https://www.amazon.com/Pantene-Natural-Defining-Styling-Packaging/dp/B012DD93QI/ref=sr_1_1?srs=7301146011&ie=UTF8&qid=1518576516&sr=8-1&keywords=pantene+custard

Scoop up about a teaspoon of this, rub it between your hands, bend over, and then squeeze this into your hair, moving your hands around to make sure you get all your hair. Yeah, sounds weird, but it really works better than rubbing it in. Now finger-comb, and let dry.

So for dry hair you should def use nourishing shampoo and conditioner and a conditioning treatment (Olaplex) at least once per week. After shampooing squeeze the water out of your hair and apply conditioner over most of your head (not roots). Leave it on for a few minutes to soak up the conditioner. Then rinse. Finish with a blast of cold water on your scalp.

Not sure if you let it air dry or blow dry. If air dry, spray a treatment on (like It’s a 10 or All Eyes on Me and then an air dry cream.

If blow dry, spray on a heat protectant spray. Then blow dry, then apply hair oil to the ends.

Hey OP!

Congrats on the good genes! I have long thick black hair too and started the following regimen which really helped me:

1. Wash twice a week, before washing, use ayurvedic hair oil for at least 2 hours (ideally overnight), wash with ayurvedic shampoo and hemp conditioner. Wash always with warm and never with super hot water.
   
   
2. Comb hair with a wide toothed wooden comb for detangling and a finer one for styling. I like this wide comb and I can't find the tail one (maybe they don't sell them on the US website, I bought them from Europe). I cannot recommend this wooden comb enough, it has single handedly reduced so much hair fall and also improved the distribution of oils.
   
   
3. I have relatively dry hair so I usually style it with this serum before leaving the house. I never use this on my scalp.
   
   
4. My PM routine is basically massaging the scalp with some pure argan oil and a few drops of rosemary oil (rosemary is great for increasing blood circulation to the scalp and increasing hair growth), and sometimes some tea tree if I spot a bit of dandruff (tea tree is said to reduce dandruff). Then I just throw it into a loose braid
   
   
5. I forget to do this every 6 weeks but once every 2-3 months I just trim off the split ends with a pair of hair scissors. Regular craft scissors are too blunt, don't use those.
   
   
6. Misc: Eat clean and healthy, and give your scalp a massage for 3-4 minutes every night, don't go crazy with all the colouring and keratin treatments, stay away from things that aren't natural. Change pillowcases at least once a week.
   
   Those would be my top tips! Hope that helps xx
