Dear Mireille, I have hair type 4c I think according to your explanation. My sisters used to call my hair oloisie veer, watch feathers you know. Really frizzy hair with coarse threads. It used to be beautifully full but now it feels very little.
I have relaxed in the past, had curly, then waved and then relaxed again. End of October 2010 I had relaxed in my hair for the last time, it broke like spaghetti when I combed it or just ran my hand through it while all the straight was out. February 15, 2011 I went to a hairdresser who told me it was completely dead and she cut it really short, I think to a length of 1cm. or shorter herself. In the meantime it has started to grow nicely again. About 8 to 10 cm.
My problem is that I have suffered a lot from dandruff since I was 11, which makes my hair look unkempt very quickly. I have tried a lot but they do not help. Washing it a few times a week would work but that does not work if you have braids or waves in it. When I comb my hair I comb it out well with a normal hair comb from scalp to ends. I like that and it is also easy to braid. My hair breaks a lot when I comb it because there are a lot of tangles and knots in it. It also feels thin and a bit brittle. After I cut it it has become less. I have been living in the Netherlands for 4 and a half years now and I come from Suriname, I already had that dandruff but that brittle hair that felt so dry and thin I have had since I moved here. I am 38, mother of 3 children aged 11, 4 and 1.5.
I want to keep my hair more natural so no more chemicals in it and maybe wave it every now and then for a change. I read that about that hair mask with charcoal etc. I want to use your products but don't know what to start with or use. At the moment I use tonka hair grease from juvet and a mix of castor oil, olive oil and amla. Combing my hair doesn't go smoothly and when I braid it it looks like I've had it in for weeks after a day. I want to braid it in the evening and take the braids out in the morning and leave them like that (twisting) but that doesn't work.
1. What can I do and use to make it look healthy, beautiful and easier to comb again?
2. My daughter of 1 and a half also has full of frizzy hair that is also difficult to comb, what can I use for her? I now use castoroli mix olive oil for her hair.
3. Are your products also available in the Netherlands? Or can I only order them from you?
4. When will the sold out products be back in stock. If you look at the products you see that many are out of stock, like those buttons teezer, shee butter etc? Now there are a few that are no longer visible in that product list like those ....butters.
5. If I order, how long will it take before I have them in the Netherlands?
I have told many people around me about your products including my sisters and half blood cousins who also do not know what to do with that full hair. They want to use it after I have used it they have seen the results with me.
I look forward to your response to my questions. The sooner I get it, the sooner I can start with my hair. I am adding 2 photos of my hair. Due to the many braids since I was 12 with false braids and pulling them up tight, the front of my hair has become very thin. This is what my hair looks like now. Please do not put my photos on your site.

Hi Lilian,
Thanks for your call and your super detailed writing. The more info the better. Now I have a reasonable overview of your hair history. Here is a video of healthy shiny frizzy hair to inspire you.
Product buildup is one of the most common reasons for dry hair, but even recovering hair often needs time.
After years of using chemicals, your hair just needs to catch its breath and frizzy hair products can help you do just that.
1. What can I do and use to make it look healthy, beautiful and easier to comb again?
First of all I would recommend the Clean Start for literally a clean start. The conditioner with active charcoal elements will give your hair a huge boost and it will feel super nice. Not only does it make it easier to comb, the products you use afterwards will also be easily absorbed. I recommend combing your hair with the conditioner in it. Then make a few twists right in the shower when you rinse the conditioner out.
To twist your hair in the evening and take it out in the morning, I would highly recommend the Curly Twistout Hair Cream and Herbal Styling Gel . To keep the twist out beautiful all day long, it is important that your hair is completely dry when you take the twists or braids out in the morning. So make sure that your hair is not soaking wet when you go to sleep. It is actually even better to let your hair dry first, and then add products with possibly a spray bottle to apply some moisture. So when you get out of the shower, the conditioner is completely rinsed out and your hair is in twists, just put a bath towel over your head and let your hair dry like that for a while. Then you can use the Curly Twistout Hair Cream and Herbal Styling Gel . In the morning when your hair is dry, take it out and viola. See the video instructions for a super easy Twist Out in frizzy hair
2. My daughter of 1 and a half also has full of frizzy hair that is also difficult to comb, what can I use for her? I now use castoroli mix olive oil for her hair.
For kids I would recommend the No More Knots . Just look at what this lady herself says about the product.
3. Are your products also available in the Netherlands? Or can I only order them from you?
For now you can only order them via the shop. I am working on a few things in the Netherlands and will keep you updated.
4. When will the sold out products be back in stock. If you look at the products you see that many are out of stock, like those buttons teezer, shee butter etc? Now there are a few that are no longer visible in that product list like those ....butters.
From now on all products are in full stock.
5. If I order, how long does it take before I have them in the Netherlands?
The recommended time is one week, but it is often even faster.
