A big thank you to the women or men...?

regarding about African American hair...I don't know that much about the hair..and the differences...so I thought it would be a good thing to learn,and or to ask....thank you for answering so nicely! I really appreciate it! I would have asked my friend, but, I don't know if she would get upset with me or not....thanks!!!

Oh, and what is relaxer, and how does that work? and also, do you still use "hot combs"? or is that a thing of the wayyyy past?

and one more...how delicate is the hair...can it just break? or is it strong as well?

A big thank you to the women or men...?

Relaxer is a really strong chemical solution applied to the hair. Kind of like how a person would apply hair dye. It relaxes the curls in the hair. But it is really damaging because it weakens the hair and if you leave it in too long it can even make some chunks of hair fall out. It's very strong stuff.

Hot combs work and I know people with hot combs. Running a straightening iron through the hair works, too.

I'm not sure how to answer the delicate hair question. If you've ever seen someone get their hair braided it's not exactly treated gently. It's pulled very tight and yanked around. And it's still on their head after! :) But I liked the answer you got in one of your other questions about hair... the one where the woman explained tenderheaded to you?

A big thank you to the women or men...?

both

A big thank you to the women or men...?

Look...most intelligent black women soon come to realize that their hair really looks like s**t..thats why they begin to try and make it look like a white womans...straight,blonde,long,wavy,smoot... name it you will see them either trying to make theirs look like it,or cutting theirs very short and buying white appearing wigs.....if I am wrong I will admit it but then why is the black to white hair industry at 9.6 billion a yr and there are shops that cater to the trade on every street?...riddle me that batboy

Do relaxers wear off ?

I've applied relaxers twice and I'm never doing it again...

But I would like to if they wear off ?

Also how many times a week should I condition my hair ?

I wash my hair once a week with shampoo and every other day with water..

I don't have African American hair btw.

Do relaxers wear off ?

no they do not wear off or grow out...they do not wear off because relaxers chemically alter your hair, breaking the bonds therefore loosening the curl to produce straight hair. they don't grow out, but if you choose to stop relaxing new growth will come in, and if not taken care of properly it will cause the hair to break off at the meeting of the different hair textures. You can condition your hair as much as needed. You have to do what you feel is right for your hair. I rinse my hair with water too. Water is the best moisturizer, unless it's hard water then it can cause damage.

Do relaxers wear off ?

NOOOOOOOO RELAXERS DON'T WEAR OFF

and when you Wash your hair you need to use shampoo and conditioner

Do relaxers wear off ?

yes, relaxers do wear off eventually. But if u go to a hairdresser they can make the process quicker somehow. Washing your hair 1 a week is a little bit too little, i would do it twice a week, and condition once out of that 2.

Hope it helps!

Do relaxers wear off ?

No, relaxers are a permenant change in ur hairs structure. They only can grow out. Shampooing is hurtful to damaged hair if u dont condition well and wetting it often is detrimental as well b/c it opens up the cuticles for which allows the cortex in the center to dry out easily. The cortex is the heart of the hair and the cuticle is there to protect it. Any chemical process rearranges the chemical structure of the hair, mainly the cuticle so the cortex is left exposed. Sorry if this is confusing, but i wouldnt relax my hair again either.

How do i keep my hair flat all day ?

i am african american and i recently started straightening my hair , i would love to wear it down but it starts getting poufy and fluffy a little while after i straighten it with the flat iron so right up into a b un it goes . Any tips , tricks or products that will keep it flat and bone straight ? it would be a bonus if any products conditioned too . :)

How do i keep my hair flat all day ?

Well, a lot of times where you live plays a role in the reason your hair gets frizzy again. If you live where there is a lot of humidity, you can forget trying to get rid of frizz..there is just too much moister in the air. However, consider that many black women have many different types of hair. Some hair is just too brittle for flat irons to work..also, your temperature settings may be too low, or your technique is bad. When you flatten your hair, start at the root, and slowly glide the iron down to the ends. You may need to repeat the motion on a section of hair to really get it straight. Also, if you are just starting to straighten your hair, you need to give it time. It is called "training". In other words..your hair will need time to adjust to straightening. So of course for a while your hair wont be as straight as you want..but over time, it will begin to look more the way you want it.

Can anyone remember the name of the actress...?

What was the name of the actress on Diff'rent Strokes that played Arnold and Dudley's teacher. I don't remember what season but her (real) last name was Kennedy. She was very pretty, long hair, African American. I already looked her up on imdb and they don't have her listed in the cast, but she was on several episodes.

I saw her a number of years back hosting a pageant or something on TV, she had gained a bit of weight and she appeared to have a bit of a shakiness, like maybe Parkinsons, perhaps.

Does anyone remember who I'm talking about? What's her first name?

Can anyone remember the name of the actress...?

I think you're talking about Jayne Kennedy.

Can anyone remember the name of the actress...?

Do you remember the character's name?

I think the actress is Pearl Gallagher.

Can anyone remember the name of the actress...?

I want to agree with "Sonya" I also think that it was Jayne Kennedy

Can anyone remember the name of the actress...?

Yes it was Jayne Kennedy.

The only condition that I read about her having is endometriosis but I never heard of that causing the shakiness.

But you never know.

I need help with my dry hair?

To start off i'm an African American male and I decided to start growing my hair May 2007 so far it's going okay. I'm using this hair chemical called Braid Sheen Spray which helps to soften and condition my hair. It's just that my hair is always dry and hard which makes it brittle and it does break off. I just want to know if you guys have any types of lotions or something that you use that keeps your hair soft and maintain moisture? Remember i'm african american so I need a product that will work for me. Thanx

I need help with my dry hair?

really try to find a different gel to make your hair smooth because what your using is hurting your hair alot! Theres many products out there, goodd luck.

I need help with my dry hair?

I don't know everyone hair is different, but I know lots of people with dreads and braids, and they use lots of different products. I would first suggest you check with some one that specializes in braids and dreads etc, they are the experts, and know just what is needed for your type of hair. On a personal note, I would suggest no products with alcohol in it, something all natural, and easy going on the hair, maybe something specifically for " our ". I think a hot oil treatment, once a week, would be perfect for dry unmanageable hair. I would stop using the BSS for now, and try something else, that is less abrasive, this is probably the problem this item is to strong for your type of hair. You need something gentle, soft , moisturizing, etc. A good overall spray for your hair that I've used and my friend has used on his braids/dreads is the Olive Oil spray. Great price, great smell, love the product. Hope this help.

I need help with my dry hair?

African American hair can be hard to manage but the "Fresh Look Products Hair BodipHier System" is the most innovative hair product line on the market can keeps hair healthier and gives it more body than traditional relaxers.

Hi, I'm stuck on which straightening iron to get! I don't know if I should get a Hai or a

I currently have THICK medium length, relaxed, african american hair. It grows very long though and I plan on growing it out again so I need something that will do well with long, thick hair. Nothing volumizing, please! Also, I have a CHI but lately the plates have been snagging my hair and pulling it out; so, now i'm looking to go up from there.

Hi, I'm stuck on which straightening iron to get! I don't know if I should get a Hai or a Sedu!?

i have neither, i have a solia and i LOVE it. i got my sister one for christmas too and it works magic on her super thick hair! go to: www.folica.com and it'll help you decide because there's a million reviews on there! good luck :)

Hi, I'm stuck on which straightening iron to get! I don't know if I should get a Hai or a Sedu!?

I just saw an article in In Style recomending HAI for thick, hard to style hair. I use a $15 one from Vidal Sasson that I got from an aunt for Christmas a couple years ago, and honestly, I love. The plates are really wide (almost 3 inches!) and it gets really hot.

Hi, I'm stuck on which straightening iron to get! I don't know if I should get a Hai or a Sedu!?

get a chi they r the best my sister is a hair dresser so i know alot about hair so the chi works really well cause my hair is kind of curly in the morning it take the curls right out

Hi, I'm stuck on which straightening iron to get! I don't know if I should get a Hai or a Sedu!?

I hava a HAI and I Iove it. It's the best that I've ever tried. But make sure to save your box, because you have a lifetime warranty on it.

Hi, I'm stuck on which straightening iron to get! I don't know if I should get a Hai or a Sedu!?

Depending on how much you're willing to pay, I would buy the MAXIglide straightening iron. I'm 13 and have very curly hair. My mom saw it on HSN(Home Shopping Network) and it works so great! It works on all hair textures and types. It does provide volume, but don't worry because it comes with and extra plate to switch out to reduce that. The MAXIglide package my mom purchased also came with a MINIglide, shampoo, and conditioner. It has 1-10 settings(depending on your hair type), it heats very fast, and only takes me a short while to do my hair. I love it. =]]

I have curly/frizzy/nappy hair, I want it straight; How?

Okay my all time dream is to have straight black hair with bangs going over my left eye. %26amp;I want them permanently straightened. Is that possible (without damaging my hair)? I also want my hair thinned out, because when I wash it, it gets extremely frizzy %26amp; nappy. Btw, I'm African American/White. When I DO 'flat iron' my hair... I do it with a straightening comb. But when I do, the heat draws up %26amp;later my hair is puffy. I don't want that! I want to walk out into the misty air with straight hair. Gosh, I seriously need advice. If you know a stylist in LA, near 90660-90302 and/or you can list great examples of conditioners;relaxers;%26amp;Straightening irons. Plus I have graduation coming soon reply back. Please %26amp;Thanks.

A style of bangs I would like:

I have curly/frizzy/nappy hair, I want it straight; How?

You can chemically straighten your hair, but one piece of advice is to make sure that this is really what you want. After this process there is no turning back, but if you straighten your hair every day it would be worth it.

You really can't do chemical treatments on your hair without a little damage. My best suggestion to you is to find a salon in your area that uses opti smooth by matrix. It is one of the best chemical straighteners I have found. Another bonus to this straightener is that it leaves the hair soft and silky after the treatment with minimal damage. Unlike some other straightener I have used that leave the hair feeling dry, Brittle and in need of deep conditioning treatments. This is one of the more expensive permanent straighteners, but like I tell everyone when it comes to your hair you get what you pay for. Good Luck!!!

I have curly/frizzy/nappy hair, I want it straight; How?

i`m half black %26amp; half white.

my hair isn`t nappy but it was really curly.

%26amp; i got a texturizer.

you should get one.

it makes your hair more manageable and easy to straighten.

as for the bangs you need to take a picture to a salon and ask them to do it for you.

i have those bangs.

i just showed my stylist a picture.

good luck %26amp; hope i helped =]]

get it permanently straightened. :).

I have curly/frizzy/nappy hair, I want it straight; How?

I'm white, so I'm not sure if this will work on african american hair, but I use conditioner and mix some honey in with it when I wash my hair. You rinse it out and it doesn't leave your hair sticky or anything, but it makes your hair cuticles lay down, so there's less frizz. Honey, it works for me EVERYTIME! Plus, investing in a high end flat iron, like a CHI is WELL worth the money....plus they last forever if you take care of them. CHI is all I use....I will never go back to using a regular flat iron again....I highly recommend it.

Here are a few hair sites that offer great advice for growing healthy and long hair. blackhairmedia.com my favorite and longhaircare. You may find the answer to your hair problems. Be careful with the heat it can damage your hair.

I have curly/frizzy/nappy hair, I want it straight; How?

You should go to a salon and get your hair relaxed and ask them for the flat iron or straightening comb they recommend you use. I ask my salon hair stylist what is a good flat iron I can use for everyday great hair styles and she said to get Andes Ceramic flat iron you can get at your local walmart or store that sells hair products.

I have curly/frizzy/nappy hair, I want it straight; How?

Wow. Thats all the things I EXACTLY want to do to my hair.

Perm Straightened

Thinned

And Side Bangs

Dont you just admire those peoples hair who are like so straight and shiny..

gees,

you can go to a salon and get a *relaxer* or a *perm straigthen* they cost a lot though and they damadge the hair.

But I say, Do whatever makes you happy =)

If you really want to straighten you're hair( I know I am and I am getting all those things done for my grade 8 graduation) go for it. They are pretty costly. They also have Japanese hair straigthen techniques where they straighten it REALLY well and also deep condition if you want which makes if shiny and really nice.

I have curly/frizzy/nappy hair, I want it straight; How?

I have those bangs , and I love them .

Anywhoo , go to a shop , get a relaxer . Then , when they clip your ends , tell them that you want bangs , and show them a pic . Or , if there is an Egyptian beauty shop near you , go to them . A good affordable flat iron for black hair is Gold n Hot

I have curly/frizzy/nappy hair, I want it straight; How?

Hi. I think you should use a straightener. Its an appliance like a curling iron, but it has flat plates. There are different ones ranging from cheap to expensive. The one I have is from Conair. Its a curling iron/straightener in one and has setting from 1-25 and turbo(really hot). I only use it for special occasions, which is like 3-4x/year (that one's good in my opinion). I keep hearing Chi is good too, but since its expensive and I rarely straighten my hair, I'd be wasting my money since it will be collecting dust!

If you permanently straighten hair, remember its a chemical. Most people I've known with chemical perms and straighteners have always had problems due to hair breakage, loss, thinning and traction alopecia. So if you really want my opinion, those arent good in the short or long run. I dont know if you really want your hair thinned out because most would kill for thick hair, trust me. You gotta appreciate your hair or else you will always be in bondage with it.

I can give you tips and websites for your hair type. Go to www.motowngirl.com for natural hair care and www.growafrohairlong.com for the crown and glory technique. There's a shampoo method that has tamed my frizzies and hair. I'll give you the short version. When washing hair, first put into some big loose braids. Apply clarifying shampoo only to scalp or hair will feel very dry (only shampoo 1x/week). Massage scalp and rinse out, but DONT MANIPULATE YOUR HAIR AGGRESSIVELY! Squeeze braids if shampoo gets on it. When applying conditioner, take 1 braid down, apply it and smooth until tangles come out (or you can use a wide tooth comb, I dont). Braid back, do to all other braids. Wash out by squeezing braids. You could leave a little bit of conditioner for that soft feel.

When drying hair, DONT USE A TOWEL! It'll cause frizzies and tangles. Squeeze out some water, but still leave wet. Apply an ample amount of moisturizing cream to hair (I use whipped cream from curls.biz) and braid back. Do same thing to other braids and braid back. You can spray a leave-in conditioner in your hair to moisturize more. Let air dry. You could take it out and leave it, straighten it, style it. When I straightened it, this is what I did. It was more managable.

I use products with less chems/none designed for curly hair, but straight can use also. Here are list of websites.

www.curls.biz - I use their whipped cream, curls milkshake, hair ecstasy deep conditioner, quenched curls moisturizer. I have their euphoria elixir for hair straightening.

www.qhemetbiologics.com - used their sidr butter balm to moisturize hair when dry

www.honeyfig.com

www.blendedbeauty.com

www.kinky-curly.com

www.janecartersolution.com

www.longlovelylocks.com

www.gnc.com - shampoos %26amp; conditioners

www.vitaminshoppe.com - natural hair shampoos %26amp; conditioners

www.naani.com

www.aubreyorganics.com

www.sistasplace.com

These are the ones I know. When straightening, get a heat protectant that will give your hair a nice shine too. You also need a good deep conditioner to use w/heat to deep condition hair. Do this 1x/wk or 1x per 2 weeks, whatever you prefer. Dont straighten your hair everyday or often. You WILL be sorry when the damage is done.

Hope this helps you. God bless.

What products should I use after swimming?

I have long, curly, African American hair. I have to swim at school for 2 weeks and I dont want my hair looking like crap. I'm thinking about rinsing it out well with water, putting some leave-in conditioner to hydrate it, and some Paul Mitchell pomade that has a hold to it to keep the curl in. I only have 16 minutes to change out of my bathing suit and get my hair looking decent. I need to do something quick and easy! Please help!

What products should I use after swimming?

I used to swim a lot and my friends always wondered why it didn't damage my extra-dry locks. In fact, my hair was even more beautiful after the swimming pool than before (no kidding!).

My trick is to apply oil on my strands before I put my cap and before I start swimming. Palm oil or coconut oil are great because they are solid at room temperature so you can be sure that you won't leave a greasy trail in the pool. After the swim, I shampoo as usual. But as my hair was protected from the chlore by a waterproof film and was treated to a deep treatment mask for an hour or so, it is nourished and doesn't need extra moisturizing. So this is a quick and easy trick (plus it's cheaper than any leave-in conditionner or moisturizing hair cream you could buy).

Hope this helps.

What products should I use after swimming?

try going to some beauty brand store or whatever..and look for mineral shampoo. it cleanses the chlorine from your hair, preventing a dry scalp and restless hair.

What products should I use after swimming?

there's a great shampoo and conditioner made especially for swimmers made by ICON. Use a thick conditioner under your swim cap if you chooose to wear one (recommended).

What products should I use after swimming?

I've always put lemon juice in mine.

But, I think that deals more with the color then the hair...

Umm. Loreal makes some kid 2-1 shampoo for swimming.

I've used it before..

It smells good ^.^

What products should I use after swimming?

try using a swim cap even though they don't keep your hair completely dry it helps or check out you local swim store they usually have good shampoo made especially for that kinda stuff

Plz help now?

um i don`t know maybe leave your hair down?

Plz help now?

First get your hair relaxed. Then get your hairdresser to give you a nice bob, leaving the length at the front and taking up the back a bit so it's all levelled. Have her put in layers for movement and maybe some highlights to accentuate the movement more.

On bad hair days, where your hair just doesn't want to do what you tell it, I reccommend having it pinned up. I usually do this by taking the hair in 3 sections - one in the front towards the top, and two below. At the top section I twist the lower portion of the hair and push it up to create a bit of volume and then pin that back, do the same with the back pieces and pin them up in the middle.

Does having long hair matter to men?

I'm an African american female, who just cut all her relaxed hair for health reasons. I don't get as many looks or dates anymore ever since I cut my hair.

It seems that a man would easily run pass you to say hello to the chick with the long hair.

If I could grow l would grow my hair long enough to reach my back, but I' can't my hair grows out not down. Atleast I have a beautiful afro though. :3

Is a girl less attractive because she doesn't have long hair?

Does having long hair matter to men?

I feel your pain. I used to have long relaxed hair and I want to be natural because my hair was breaking off and it was falling out. I cut my hair in fall of 06 and I never looked back. The guys at my high school are always teasing me about and girls always say "why would you want nappy hair? You're never gonna find a man?" Please, I don't give a sh!t. If you're not a professional stylist with at least 3 celebrity clients I suggest you STFU about my hair! I feel bad for all the Black women who have become dependent on hair relaxers and weaves to get gratification that they are attractive to Black men.I'm tired of all of this self hate. Sometimes I don't want to deal with Black men because they always have something to say about my hair. I'm natural so deal with it! I found more white people digging my hair and saying that I was beautiful. I can't believe a white man had called me beautiful. Me a dark skinned girl with short and kinky hair.My hair grew a little longer and it's 100x stronger than it ever was and I''m happy. I only wear my hair in braids, twists, and I wear my fro sometimes....I would never relax my hair again....That's a promise...

Does having long hair matter to men?

No, some women can rock short hair styles (like Halle Berry, Jada Pickett) and some can't..It depends on the shape of your head..

I do have I guess medium hair to my back, and I don't think guys are attracted to me just because of my hair, it is my body..which is what i wish it wasn't but it is truth..

I'd rather for a guy to want me because of my mind and not how I look..but it seems most guys can't carry on a conversation with me on my level..they just sit and stare(seriously)

BTW

I wear my hair in natural braids, and I do rock my fro during the summer time

EDIT

BUBU I do agree she looked better with long hair but some men I know think differently, some like her better with short hair...to me either way she was still very pretty

Does having long hair matter to men?

i heard on a tv show that men really REALLY like long hair. i just cut 9 inches of my hair off because i have really curly hair and it was getting difficult to manage, but at my school it didnt seem to matter much. if anything im getting more attention. maye its different in the real world?

Does having long hair matter to men?

Long hair is beautiful on a woman, plain and simple. Plus I think men are genetically programed to seek out women with long hair.

Does having long hair matter to men?

to each his own, some men love short hair,some prefer long hair , some don't have a preference .

How can i make my hair grow longer and faster linke before the end of this summer before school starts?

if you like pomade, you can use the Indian Hemp (Hair and Scalp Treatment), for some reasons, it grows out your hair. Keep your hair moisturize all the time (especially the ends. Use moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Put some aloe vera liquid on your shampoo, it will make your hair strong. You can get the liquid by peeling the aloe vera and blend it in the blender, then pour that liquid (a small amount (not all of it) in your shampoo). Hope that helps.

Go out in the sun alot. Hair and nails always grow faster when it is warm outside.

Take daily multivitamins and get LOTS of protein, vitamin C and vitamin E. You need to use a deep conditioner regularly to keep the ends from splitting so you don't lose your hard-earned length! The braiding and the relaxers are SOOO hard on your hair. For next time, pick only one and stick to it.

Styling ethnic hair?

I am looking for an eloquent hair style for a friend who is african american.

Styling ethnic hair?

okay i know this sounds really simple but it works and it looks great. if her hair isn't already long then she should get a weave that is not too long so that it looks super fake and ridiculous but long enough. then just spiral the ends or flip them out with a large barrel curling iron. then spray it lightly with oil sheen(for added shine) and then give it a flip and it will look great and it goes with anything. or if she doesnt want extensions she can just have the front of her hair braided with a unique design and curl the back.good luck.

Curly, Natural hair???

Im African American. I was born with straight (but afro) hair and I haven't seen my natural hair since I was 9. Im 14 now and Im hearing alot of stories of people who were born with striaght hair, getting curly hair when they become teenagers (but all of them were white). Im wondering if anything like that has happened to black people??? Ive never met any black person who's hair went from straight to curly. Im not sure if it happens to all races or if its just genetic. I wan't to go natural because I love how the curly hair looks (my lucky sister was born with it), but im not sure how my natural hair looks and I was wondering if its possible for it to have changed since I was 9. I want to relax it right now (its driving me crazy) but before I do, I want to know. Has that happened to anyone here???

Questions on chemotherapy hair texture changes?

I have 3 questions about the chemotherapy-related hair changes. These don't apply to me, but unfortunately it seems I know of more and more folks dealing with this. :(

1. It seems I always hear of straight-haired people having CURLY hair after it grows back. But what about people with curly hair to begin with -- does it sometimes come back straight? Even in people of black/African-American ancestry?

2. How does this happen? Our hair texture is determined by the shape of the follicles. I think it's something like round follicles produce straight hair and square follicles produce curly hair. Anyway, does chemo actually change the genetically-determined SHAPE of our follicles?

3. How often does a person's hair NOT change in texture when it grows back? Does anyone have their hair come in exactly the same as before?

(P.S. I'm not asking about color changes. That makes more sense. I'm just confused about texture). Thanks all! :)

Questions on chemotherapy hair texture changes?

Mine all fell out- I had naturally curly hair before and it came back in the most beautiful ringlet curls- all I have to do is wet it down and it sprials up. Stronger, shinier...

I have no idea why it happens. Chemotherapy is like a very invasive detox / total cleansing. (I always look for the positive).

I don't believe anyone who loses their hair gives a flip about what happens to their hair as long as it grows back and the cancer stays gone. God bless.

Questions on chemotherapy hair texture changes?

My hair never fell out..I kind of wish it did though because chemo changed the condition of my hair. It used to be soft and shiny and now it tends to be brittle. The hair grows differently b/c it is not yet exposed to sun, dye, styling, etc. Just like a child often has different kind of hair then he/she will have decades later.

Questions on chemotherapy hair texture changes?

I had Chemo all my hair fell out. It grew back the same thick and curly actually more healthy looking.

Questions on chemotherapy hair texture changes?

About half of my hair fell out during CMF chemo. While the new hair was a bit wavier at first, it eventually returned to its original shape- but thicker and shinier! Also- chemo also did something to my facial skin that erased, I swear, some wrinkles!!! I actually look younger now than before!!!

However, I wouldn't recommend chemo as a beauty treatment! Lol!

Questions on chemotherapy hair texture changes?

My hair has come back in so incredibly curly, and i was blonde it came back black and gray.....My hair was curly like this when I was a kid.

Questions on chemotherapy hair texture changes?

i can only site you my example: i started chemo with pin straight hair. now, my hair is wavy in some areas on my head and looks crimped in other areas.

chemo therapy is a pumping of poisons into our systems to battle the cancer. fighting a war with a war. so, who knows why it happens? i just know it does.

What factors causes your hair to break off? and how can i prevent it!!?

Besides wind, swimming pools, pulling ur hair back constantly, combing, brushing, (im too young for stress), and not trimming regularly. .... and what can I do to make sure my hair wont break off.

Note: I am African American.

What factors causes your hair to break off? and how can i prevent it!!?

Hair breakage and non-growth are caused by a number of things. Do you use heat on your hair too much? Do you wash it too often? Do you use too many products?

Ethnic hair should be cared for differently, but the problem is many of us over do it. Your hair should be washed either once a week or once every two weeks. A deep conditioner is always recommended. If you relax your hair (which should be about every six weeks), get a trim each time.

In between washes, limit the products you put in your hair, especially gels and hairsprays that harden your hair. All you need is a simple oil sheen or other oil to grease your scalp about twice a week. Stay with the same product. If you continue to switch products too much, your hair will get "confused" and you'll never see any results.

The key is repetition and maintainance. Wash and moisturize regularly and stay away from unecessary products.

You must keep this up to see any positive results.

Going belimiac can cause hair loss, are you vomiting?

If not, I heard African American's hair usually is very dry, it could be that. Try Head and Shoulders see what that does for you, if not Dove.

The best thing to do is go to a Hair Salone, those people know what to do.

What factors causes your hair to break off? and how can i prevent it!!?

Breakage from braids, pools(swimming in water with clorine), and not wrapping your hair at night possably.Perming does not cause it to break. if you havent permed your hair in a while it will start to come out easily when you brush it comb etc. you should perm it cuz if u do it wont fall out. only the dead ends that are coming out when u brush it.

trying perming your hair with Botanicals, Africa's Best, or Dark and Lovely.

What factors causes your hair to break off? and how can i prevent it!!?

Too much handling of any kind.

Also too much sun.

However, not all the hair you see on your pillow is breakage. It's normal for all humans to lose 80 to 100 head hairs a day. If your hair is at all long, that can seem like a lot in the comb, but as long as it's not getting visibly thinner, you're fine.

What factors causes your hair to break off? and how can i prevent it!!?

just plain styling can make it break off! Try using a heat protectant in your hair to prevent that from happening. I use Protect and Shine serum by Joico and only put in on the ends of my hair while its wet, before I blow dry it. Try to lay off the straightening iron if you use one...

What factors causes your hair to break off? and how can i prevent it!!?

If relaxers are not applied correctly, it can lead to breakage and overprocessing. If you sleep on a cotton pillow case, this could also be a problem. I wrap my hair at night and tie it up in a scarf, and I have noticed that in the back edges my hair is breaking, possibly because the scarf is too tight or because it is rubbing against my hair/scalp. You should also make sure that you are conditioning your hair on a regular basis and be careful when it comes to products that you put in your hair. Try not to use heat to style your hair. I use rollers instead of a curling iron. You also might want to visit a professional stylist at least once every two months and they can give you more suggestions specific to your hair.

Getting it trimmed (just a tiny bit) every other week or so will allow the ends to be refreshed and not break so easily

Is there a way to re-curl the ends of kinky twists?

African/ African american hair braiding techniques

Is there a way to re-curl the ends of kinky twists?

Put the ends of the twists in rollers. Boil water on the stove and pour hot water into a mug. Dip the rolled ends of the twists into the hot water. Dab dry to prevent burning yourself with dripping water. After entire head is complete, take out rollers. The ends will now be recurled. It's best to have someone else do the dipping for you so you don't burn yourself.

Edit: You can leave the rollers on overnight if you want but when I got my kinky twists, the lady took the rollers off after doing my whole head and the curls stayed.

Is there a way to re-curl the ends of kinky twists?

my friend just puts little rollers on the ends of hers overnight. she does it with micros and kinky twists, and it seems to work for her.

Is there a way to re-curl the ends of kinky twists?

I would agree with the rolling the twists in rollers (i used regular sponge rollers), and dipping it in a large/tall cup of really hot water. I would put a towel around my neck as to not burn myself too. I would leave the rollers in for at least a few hours (or overnight if possible) so they can be completely dry and the curls tight.

My hair is long and REAL. Should i cut it??

I'm an African American 21 year old. I've had long hair my whole life and that's a huge part of me--my hair. I want to cut my hair because I want my hair maintainence to be a little easier. Some people may be upset because they like my hair long and it's rare these days to find black girls with (real) long hair. I don't want to regret it once I'm done, but I'm pretty sure that I won't because this is something that I've always wanted and I know I'm old enough now to do it. I'm getting it done today so what do you say? Cut or no cut?
