3. Detangling is not easy! With 4c hair it’s a task trying to detangle my hair – but with the r...

5No Stress No Mess: No Stress refers to excessive combing/brushing, blow drying or any other form of heat, or pulling of hair. You should give your hair a BREAK sometimes and let it BREATHE, but please make sure that when you give your hair a break and let it breathe that you are still keeping hair protected and moisturized. A lot of combing, heat, and tight ponytails/braids add stress to the hair and can damage if used excessively. I am the type that has always liked pl...

One day, while in a meeting at work, rocking my natural tresses...I began to think, do anyone think my natural hair is inappropriate in the business setting?

I was just really curious as to what some people were thinking....Just as I was thinking this, a lady walks in with a new short ...

Starting out on a natural journey, it seems everyone has the same goal - Length.Length.LENGTH! Everyone wants to have this long, poofy Afro! There will be many downfalls but there could be just as much growth and accomplishments! I think you should make short-term goals. Ex.6inch of growth in the first month. <---This could be possible or this may not occur, it really depends on treatment and moisture; how your hair works and the amount of stress put on the hair. So if you make goals that ...
