Fashion › Re: Black Hair Does Grow. Let's Prove It! by Mprex(f): 3:18pm On Nov 14, 2014 |
Pls can you explain the hot oil process extensively. Riskie: I've noticed on the fashion board that there has been an on-going debate about wigs, weaves and perms. My personal opinion is that all these are a matter of choice. I personally have tried everything---wigs, weaves and perms(even curly perms). In the process I have neglected my own hair. I cared more about my weave than I did about the tresses growing out of my own head. I had thinning edged, uneven dry hair and mad split ends.
I have recently decided against any form of extensions because I looked back over the past one year and calculated how much I spent on weave. Lord have mercy! It was a lot of money. I then evaluated my reasons for extensions. They were: 1) They offer versatility 2) I thought they protected my natural hair because it wasn't exposed 3) I thought they just looked really cute.
Two out of three of my reasons were dead wrong. The extensions were'nt versatile and they didn't protect my hair. Rather they did the opposite.
Oh yeah I always wanted to over look my main reason for extensions: I thought that black hair was so difficult to manage and that it would never grow past shoulder length.
After doing some research I decided to go on a hair growth and health experiment because black hair can and does grow! In fact it grows at the same rate as white and asian hair (1/2 inch every month!!!). The reason why we tend not to see the growth is because WE DON"T TAKE PROPER CARE OF OUR HAIR!!!!
Reasons why black hair seems not to grow: 1) Lack of moisture BIGGEST CULPRIT 2) We are afraid to trim our dead/unhealthy hair. (why have length that isn't healthy?) 3) We don't wash enough 4) We add to much heat through flat iron, curlers etc. 5) Over processing relaxer (and relaxing ends that are already straight) SECOND BIGGEST CULPRIT
Eventaully all this causes breakage and short damaged hair.
So now my healthy hair diet consists of: 1) Daily moisturizing 2) Shampooing and DEEP conditioning 1-2 a week 3) Co-Washing once a week 4)Trimming every 6-8 weeks 5) Hot oil treament once a month 6) Relaxing every 12-16 weeks (sounds impossible I know)
Since I have started this I have seen major changes in my hair. From thickening to growth. Right now I haven't had a relaxer since August and I couldn't be more pleased. This doesn't mean I'm going natural and I don't think it's a bad thing, it is merely my choice to have relaxed hair. I also cut my hair a few days ago to get rid of my dry hair and split ends. Now my hair is at the nape of my neck, but it's getting healthy!
Anyway the point ot my rant is that black hair types are capable of length and health just like all other races. This is not meant as a put down for people who wear weaves because I might still do it if I please lol. I just think it's a better option to care for your hair. It's your crown and glory. 
Here are some sites that give tips for healthy black hair and beauty. There are pics of hair growth journeys and videos with tips and other important info. I will post pics of my hair growth journey from time to time.

If i mention reporting to the police now, the Op will shy away from it.
And thats why molest will not cease in this country. When victims fail to speak out and seek for justice, those animals will keep perpetrating this evil because they know they will certainly get away with it.
God help us all |

Op, is the brother living in isolation or what  Or you couldnt scream and hope someone hears you?  or better still, there was no object around there that you could use to defend yourself?  anyway, the deed has been done. I will advice you to tell your bf and brace yourself for his reaction |
