I’ve been growing my hair out for a year now and been thinking about getting 2 strand twists, do I have the hair for that, also pros and cons what would I benefit from doing that
I want to get one or the other, but I need help.
Silk press: I love everything about a silk press except for the fact that I sweat at the gym and during other heavy physical activities and I'm not trying to put heat on my hair everyday fix it because my hair curls up real quick at the smallest bit of moisture. Any tips/tricks for this? I know I can wear a sweat absorbing headband at the gym, but I'm not putting that on during sex 😂
Sew ins: Since I don't like putting extra hear on my hair, I don't like leaving leave out, but I also don't want a scalpless look, lol. I've heard about closures but I don't know enough about them. Also, quality hair! I do not want to be brushing it all day and have it shedding. Idk who to trust to buy hair from though because every review might be paid for these days.

Hi! I just started getting my hair braided for the first time and I was wondering. If I want them to add hair for a style am I expected to arrive at my appointment with the hair or should I expect them to keep bundles on hand?
did you go through a shedding phase initially? What was your experience?
Hi, i want to start my locs soon but im afraid the back wont look great because theres a small section of my hair thats thinner than the other parts of my head. How do i fix this????
About a year ago, my my hair got heat damaged and i used S Curl twice, and started coming out, so i cut it, and ive been growing it back out ever since. But since ive begun that small part of my head which the hair initially started coming out at has always been growing slower and been much thinner. My hair is about 4 inches right now. Can anyone lmk please?
How many inches of hair should I strive for to the point that my cornrows when I get them don’t feel like I’m gasping for air? Hair is currently at like 6 inches but I don’t want to risk it. Suggestions and help would be fantastic
I have 4c hair and I bleached it blonde at the end of October. I want to do finger waves for a friends wedding in December but my hair won’t lay down properly because of how kinky/curly it is. Is it just not possible for me to have fingerwaves without having to relax/texturize my hair?
If damaged hair loss what can I do for it ?
How do u keep your hair and scalp clean if u have dreads? Is it okay to wash with shampoo and water every day like the same way as people who don’t have dreads or braids wash their hair in the shower?
Anyone got advice for my keeping my hair moisturized snd soft. It’s been described as very thick and Coarse I’m pretty sure it has a low porosity bc it’s dries fast it seems ,so any advice. I think I need deep conditioners that are moisturizing with no protein any other tips Or deep conditioner recommendations something that’s very moisturizing with no protein
I am a 28 y.o woman who wants to grow and retain healthier hair. It’s like my hair never retains length, I’ve even shaved my head to start completely over on two separate occasions (most recent being 2020) I have tight, kinky 4c hair that I can’t seem to grown past ear length. The one time my hair did go to my shoulders, was after I gave birth ( idk if it was the prenatal vitamins or what) but even after that it fell out, I assume because I wasn’t properly caring for it. Anyways, that was 7 years ago. From about 2021 to now, I have been blessed enough to be able to afford braids on a consistent basis, since I thought that would help with it being in a protected style, but even then, I’ve noticed no change in the length of my hair. Any tips, recommendations?
My scalp is always flaky! Not dandruff. What is some type of oil or something to keep it from being flaky! I can only have a hair style for like a month and that’s pushing it. I also have locs!
Help me! lol
I've been wanting to do a silk press for a while (I have 4c natural hair), and I normally always do braids, and I just want to try something new. However, my mom tells me that I shouldn't get it because it doesn't last long, and it will damage my hair, I understand why she's worried. She keeps trying to scare me out of the idea of getting one. She thinks that relaxers are the same as silk presses. Should I still get it?
