THE HAIR WONDERS KIT SAVE MONEY! |

Hi
I'm an 18-year-old college student. I've grown tired of constantly keeping up with relaxer treatments, especially during the school year. I have decided to grow my hair out naturally. What is the best method in which to do this? Is it ok to wear it in braids or cornrows while it grows, or should I simply let it grow with out styling it for a while? Should I cut off my straightened hair first? What is best for my hair's health, and the easiest to manage? Thank you! Aundj |

Hello Aundj, Braids or cornrows and twists are great styles
to transition out of a relaxer to natural hair. You can try the HAIR
REFORMER on your new growth to keep it soft and prevent breakage as your
hair grows. |

Help,
My daughter is only 11, and plays tennis every day. We live in
sunny Florida, and it is necessary to wash her hair very often. 2
questions, what would be your best products for washing and conditioning
so often, especially with the hard water we have in Florida.
And I do grease/creme her hair often, but with her sweating so
much, she constantly has buttons on her back and forehead, what do you suggest
for her hair in this instance??sorry about the double question.....

Hi, Thanks for getting help for your daughter. First of all stop putting "grease" on her skin. It is suffocating her pores and causing breakouts. Now, for frequent shampooing use the SOFT CURL SHAMPOO and MOISTURE CURL CONDITIONER. Use the RECOVERY TREATMENT twice a month to stengthen her hair. Followed with the HYDROLYZER moisturizing conditioner. On a daily basis you can use the HAIR REFORMER to soften her hair and hold it in place. The EHO and PSB can be used to keep her hair moisturized and won't clog her pores. You can save money by buying the HAIR WONDERS KIT http://bbdex.bizland.com/store/page10.html and the MIRACLE THREE KIT http://bbdex.bizland.com/store/page19.html Wishing you and your daughter much success. --Adj |
Hi Angela.
I was taking a look at the growyourownhairlong website and I saw the pictures of your different hairstyles. What I wanted to know is, how did you get your hair to look the way it does in the Big Hair and Relaxed Hair pictures? I like the way your hair looks in those two pictures. Thanks. Sheila.

| Hi Shelia, In the "Big hair" picture my hair was cut in long layers and roller set. For the "Relaxed hair" picture my hair is cut in a "V" from the forehead to the crown of my head. The rest of the hair is a one-length bob. It is blown dry and curled with a medium barrel curling iron. Thanks for asking. --Adj |

I just took some braids out my hair and i think i cut out myhair
with the braids and now my hair is very uneven. how can i grow my
hair back to get it even or will my hair ever grow back to its natural length.
thank you. and if so how long does that process take.

| Hi, I'm sorry to hear what happened with your hair. I have done that before. I cut off the braided extention hair and didn't realize I was cutting my own hair. I don't know how much you cut off so I couldn't say how long it would take to grow back. The only way to make your hair even is to trim it until it is even again. Your hair will grow back. -Adj |
| Hello, my name is Marquitta
and I am 17 years old. I have pretty thick hair, but it is pretty soft.
It's naturally sort of half-kinky/half-curly. My ethnic background
is half Nigerian, half Norwegian. Anyway, I have managed to break off my hair pretty well over time because I grew up in a small town in Minnesota (with no black people at all) and all of my friends dyed their hair a lot so I did so too. When my mom would drive me 2 hours to Minneapolis to a salon I would either get my hair relaxed or cornrowed. I have gone to this salon off and on since I was 6, but I don't allow them to relax my hair anymore because my hair would break off so bad due to the stylists relaxing over the new growth continuously. So now, I go in every couple of months to get my hair braided, straight back, about pencil-thick. I fried my hair off last summer (2003) and the first weekend of August, 2003, I cut it all off to about 1/4" long (it was curly so it might have been almost 1/2" when pulled straight). Anyway, now it is pretty frizzy but when pulled straight it touches the bottom of my neck, so I'm assuming it grows at a pretty decent rate. My question is, how can I grow my hair out long and pretty without damaging it and without it taking a decade??? I have a friend from my small town whose sister is 24 and bi-racial like me. She had hair about my length when she was my age and now it's down to her lower back and is nothing but glossy ringlets. I am sooo jealous. I'm not jealous of the fact that she told me it took her 8 years to grow out, though. She also has never relaxed it. My hair is not long enough to really do anything with if it wasn't relaxed. And I wouldn't know what to do with it anyway. It's sort of at an "in-between" length. My mom didn't know how either so she always had it braided. Now that I'm 17, and my mom's passed away, I still don't know what to do with it so I just go back to the same salon and have it braided. I don't want to wear my hair in braids forever though. I have no black family or friends to ask advice of, so if you could please help me or recommend any of your products that might specifically work for me I would GREATLY appreciate it. You're story is sooo inspirational for me, thank you :) Sincerely, Marquitta Braih |
| My Dear Marquitta, My heart goes out to you. It must be difficult to grow up and not have people that look like you around but you're almost at an age when you can move to another city to attend college. In the meantime, let me suggest that the next time you go to Minneapolis that you look into attending a Black church. You will probably find people who have relatives on the way to your town. You can also get the names of some other salons so you don't have to keep going to the same one. Now, about your hair. My niece is bi-racial and has hair similar to your description. The rate your hair grows is hereditary. You can speed it up by eating a balanced diet, taking multi-vitamins with minerals and Super Food daily. Also exercise stimulates your circulation and massaging the scalp brings the blood flow to feed the folicles. The most important part is taking care of the hair as it grows so you don't break it off. 1. Shampoo with the PRE TREAT weekly to clean and stimulate your scalp. 2. Use the RECOVERY TREATMENT every two weeks to stregthen your hair. Follow with the HYDROLYZER to replenish the moisture. 3. If you shampoo more often use the SOFT CURL shampoo and leave in the MOISTURE CURL conditioner. 4. Once a month give yourself a hot oil treatment. Using a Tbsp of PSB PURE SHEA BUTTER melted in with a Tbsp of EHO ESSENTIAL HAIR OIL. 5. Daily Massage your scalp with EHO on your finger tips and use a little on your hair to keep it moisturized. 6. Use the HAIR REFORMER to keep your curls defined and reduce frizz. 7. If you want more styling options use the NATURALAXER KIT IN A JAR to loosen your curls so you can blow it straight or roller set it. Call our office M-Th 10AM -5PM PST if you have questions. It will take time but before you know it your hair will be pretty ringlets down your back. --Adj |
