Alright so my girlfriend put in mini braids to protect her hair, with no extra hair added, but after a few weeks it’s starting to frizz up, so she’s worried that the frizz is “breakage”. I don’t know if it is, but she’s convinced that it is, does anyone know or have any advice/experience, I’m so confused on this man.

What is the best way to repair breakage and grow a healthy fro?

Hi, I'm doing a project with my engineering friends. We are building a braiding device!

Could you help us complete this form? This should take about 5 minutes or less!

I don't really know if this is the right subreddit or not but I just have a few questions on my Afro. I do not have naturally Curly hair so I got a really tight perm ( I had Long Hair Before) And picked it out and it does look pretty good it is exactly what I wanted. But I've been trying to do some research and I can't really get any answers out there. I just have a few questions such as what is the best shampoo and conditioner to use and how often should I wash my hair with shampoo? I have gotten a mixed results.Are there any special products I should use for my fro? Is it all right to condition my hair everyday?

Let's look back at some memorable moments and interesting insights from last year.

I'm mixed, and I have, what I would describe, as "afro-textured" hair, it puffs out when it gets long, but I have no curl or coil pattern. When I wash my hair, it curls up, but no matter what I do, it just straightens itself out once it gets dry. I kinda wanted to get braids in the next year OR get dreads at some point and was wondering, does hair type matter that much??

I’ve been growing my fro out for about 2 and a half years. I have a consistent routine of daily conditioning and moisturizing, weekly washing, trimming about every two months, and every now and then I will braid it in cornrows when I want to take a break from daily care. I feel like I may have reached a peak for the length it will be - it has been about this length for several months now. What else do others do to stimulate continued growth? Should I change something in my routine?

I have seen some videos about afro care and they say stuff like you should was your afro like once a week.then what am I supposed to do in those other days, literally not wash the hair?. I’m getting started with the afro so I apologize if my questions sounds dumb but I wanna know

I’ve been growing my fro out for about 7 months now and I have way more shed than when I started. My hair gets dry really easy but today I bought a spray bottle and leave in so we’re gonna see how it goes. When playing with my hair sometimes I can feel little knots and when you pull on it breaks a piece of hair off. Or when I pick my hair there is ALWAYS HAIR lol.

Any tips for detangling and stuff?
