Alright! thanks, i really can't wait to start shopping for it, what does "mbl" stand for? I love all the pictures you ed, it's giving me the inspiration to do the BC already, one more question, i wanna dye my hair too, will that affect the growth?

Great to hear!!

It shouldn't, as long as you keep up with your regimen. Two things to also keep in mind: dying natural hair can change the hair's curl pattern and it can result in loss of elasticity. Elasticity in hair is similar to how a rubber band works. When you pull the rubber band and release, it goes back to its initial shape, right? Healthy hair should be elastic too, meaning: when you pull or bend it, it should go back to its initial form without breaking. However, if it has lost its elasticity, when you pull it, it's going to snap off. The way to combat this is to make sure you step up your game up with maintaining a proper protein-moisture balance in your hair and it should be fine.

I don't have any personal experience with commercial or over-the-counter hair dyes, as I've never used them. I wanted to one time but changed my mind and opted for henna instead. With henna, the colour change isn't drastic, though the more you use it, the bigger the change will be. Henna is safer too and will make your hair 3x stronger than any OTC hair dye, but whichever route you want to take is up to you. A ton of people are successful with hair dyes, as shown with the pictures I posted and there're lots of youtube videos of naturals who have coloured their hair and have no problems with growth, so you can always youtube others' experiences. At the end of the day, it's just hair, so have fun with it!

When it comes to brand promotion, clothing plays a vital role. Clothes with the name of your organization creates brand identity and brings your enterprise in the public eye.

TahariX:

You can use Dudu osun (black soap) as your shampoo, VO5 conditioner as a rinse out conditioner and Cowash. Cantu leave in is pretty great. You can get oils like olive, coconut, mustard e.t.c. Shea butter can also be used for styling your hair.

There are full lace wigs as well lace front wigs available in the market today. You have to know what your options are before you go out and buy a hair piece that doesn’t give you the gorgeous hair that you set out looking for.

Day 3. By tomorrow I should have done a new WnG.

Aww! thanks, how was your thanksgiving? do you take biotin or any vitamin for hair growth, I've been hearing about "hairinfinity" I was thinking of trying it out

true I was going to say the same thing. If your hair is naturally thin, I doubt there is anything you can do about it but if it has not always being like that. You can help by adding more protein to your diet, Vitamin b and iron.

Plus, if your hair does not have a natural curl to it and you use gels and such, your hair will look thinner when you make it curly because it has to gather more hair from a section it doesn't naturally with to make a curl pattern.

well, i do use curl activators sometimes. But when I comb my hair you can see through it. I have medium to fine strand. The middle is the thickest part of my hair and very kinky.
That is why I always shake n go to get volume.

Yes, you can use that too.

Chillisauce:
if your hair is 4c, forget...no matter how you try, no curl will define
just learn to rock your natural afro.

I have since learned to carry my fro like that instead of packing lots of gel, oil etc on the hair, later it starts getting sticky.

Embrace your 4c hair. Stop disturbing the hair for curls.

its extremely frustrating!

i dont find it frustrating, its just different. Yes, most people promote curls. The media etc, but me i'm my own media .

I cowash my hair in sections, use some oil and comb.
Voila, my fro is ready and i got lots of compliment because it look different

The secret is make it neat. and you are good to go.
If im not in fro,i have my braids but generally im loving it as its getting longer.

mostimes i just use my hand as comb then slightly push dow to make a nice fro.

One of the adventages is that i can hide an office pin or any object in it and not get detected.

Embrace your 4C.
