the excitement of doing my own hair fueled my interest to pursuit cosmetology also my High School offered the program for free.
Describe your most bizarre hair experience.
My most bizzare hair experience was applying a relaxer on a over dramatic 10 year old. She cried and wailed and begged the lord for forgiveness funny thing is i barely applied and any relaxer into her hair and she wasnt burning.

Any hair secrets? Tips? Tricks?
Thinning areas and bald spot maybe signs of internal disorders
Buy wig clips and sew them onto your hair tracks its a wonderful quick weave,inexpensive,and custom.
Women who have recently had babies should continue to take their vitamins. Sometimes the hair starts to thin if adequate nutrients arent taken in.
What are the ultimate thing black women should do for their hair to keep healthy or to grow healthy.
Have a full assessment of your hair by a knowledgable stylist or trichologist. Beware of NO-LYE relaxers.
