Very interesting and I know exactly how you feel. The problem is there is a lot of ignorance about African hair, I read in several books that black hair grows very slowly, the longest that they can achieve is 10 inches, also black people have different ethnic groups have longer hair. This has always been used as a beating stick, 'why our hair can't grow long. I remember when I was 21 and I was obsessed with growing my hair, my mother always had longer hair than mine, it would be longer than shoulder length, so she told me to visit my cousin, because she may know how to grow my hair longer, when I visited my cousin Barbara and she said, that because her father was half chinese, she had long hair. So I there get a slap in my face. And as a result, I honestly believed my hair wouldn't grow. Then I came across JF Lazartique products and Wanakee products and they both suggested washing your hair once a week, then I notice my hair was able to retain length. After being on many websites, I realise that black hair is very fragile, so too many perms, relaxers, colour treatments, heat treatments leave our hair breaking and broken, so it can never reach long lengths, also people who are type two hair, have stronger, hence it would be that it grows longer, it does not break so easily. I have also likened African texturised hair to grass, if you want to see fast growth of grass, you water it regular, or have you ever observed that you have cut your lawn one week, after a heavy rainfull, the grass grows so fast, that is how our hair is, if you moisturise regular, daily, or as often as possible, you will be surprised how much growth, you have achieved, plus protein treatments for strength, also shrinkage is a major factor, there are many ladies who hair, especially 4b would reach below ear length, once the hair is stretched, past collarbone length, people whose hair is touching shoulder length, once the hair is stretched it is almost touching their waist. That is one of the amazing things about African hair. Once people see you with your thick long hair, they talk all types of rubbish, even black people refuse to believe long hair growth. People don't bother to find out information, they don't read. Even when I was speaking to someone about rinsing my hair daily, she said, that I want to be a white person, I had to tell her, rinsing my hair daily is about me giving my hair moisturise, nothing to do with being white, a white hairdresser told me that black people can wet their hair daily, but if she mentioned that it would cause a lot of problems, so they don't say anything, another woman who was giving my the JF Lazartique treatment, said the products are ideal for black hair, but black people automatically think it is for white people so they don't use it. I use products in the supermarket, I used products, which are rich, usually the dry and damaged products or coloured, permed and dry products. I was told that if I wet my hair to often, my hair would drop out. Yet my hair is the thickest and longest it has ever been. I have never had this long hair, ever I was not born with or ever had long hair as a child. I honestly believe that there is a conspiracy to pick black women ignorant about looking after their hair, so that lots of black can make billions, billions of money off our hair. If a lot of black people knew how to look after their hair property, a lot and and I mean a lot of hair companies, owners of black beauty stores, will close immediately and a lot of shares will be lost overnight. Thank Mother Father God, that we have the knowledge and each day our gathering is getting bigger and eventually we will be able to reach other people who want to learn and as for the others. They will be left in their ignorance. FoxyBronx, your hair is looking good, get up your good work and leave those fools to the foot of the cross.
I would never ever ever go back to her.
