Paula Young sells African American Wigs and pieces, I had no idea. They have a process I have never heard of and I wanted to know why a white woman couldn’t wear the straight one with bangs. I suppose I could phone them but I’d like a real opinion.

Yes, quite a few people have purchased wigs from Paula Young, and the others too.

You want a real opinion, hmmm - ok, it is my firm opinion that prime rib is best served rare and slow-cooked.

So many women of color look for ways to improve our hairstyles in terms of creating trendy looks instantly! I still get questions from folks who are searching for these so called "african american wigs", but what I believe they are talking about are lace wigs? As I know its the newest hairstyle trend and a life saver for most! Even myself I have to admit. When women are asking for African American Wigs, are they really looking for lace wigs?

I found this site that provide good information about the differences: http://customlacewig.net

MOVIE DVD - Blaxploitation godfather Rudy Ray Moore performs his raunchy standup routine before a live audience in this concert film. Those who are familiar with Moore’s records and appearances in low-budget action/comedy pictures (Dolemite, The Monkey Hustle) will know what to expect: crude, gleefully vulgar jokes about the African-American experience delivered with boisterous style and funky rhythm. Moore’s comedy is not for the faint-hearted, and his subjects include pimps and prostitutes, blatant racial stereotypes, babies having sex, dogs urinating on blind men, and Santa Claus committing suicide. He also performs several classic routines from his albums, including Dolemite and Close Encounters of the Sex Kind. Also appearing as an intermission are the comedy team Leroy and Skillet, performing a pair of skits that concern whiskey, ugly babies, and the judicial system. Those who can take it blue will bust a gut at Rude, so screw your wig on tight and put your weight on it, because Rudy Ray Moore is bound to make everything down and funky. - Rudy Ray Moore: Rude (DVD)

I used to have long hair down the middle of my back that was too thick My mother was taking care of my hair then because a was around 10 years old. She did perm my hair and it was still healthy. When I was 11 I bleached my hair to turn it reddish brown. My hair became very frizzy and Fragile. It did not help that I started wearing weaves, wigs, and tight braids. Over the years My hair became like paper thin. When I perm my own hair I always get sores and hair loss. Please help

Q. How can I have longer thick healthy hair??

A. Well, having longer hair really consists of two things. The first is maximizing/promoting growth and the second is retaining length. Here are the absolute basics to growing longer stronger hair.

To maximize or promote growth, I would suggest:

1) Eat a protein rich diet and lots of fruits and veggies to ensure you are growing strong healthy hair.

2) Keep your body healthy and hydrated by drinking at least 64 oz of water a day and exercising at least 3-5 times a week.

3) Massage the scalp at night with a drop or two of essential oils to help stimulate the hair follicles. Make sure to get at least 7-8 hours of sleep each night.

4) Take a Hair, Skin and Nails vitamin to help supplement your diet. These vitamins are available at your local drugstore or health food store.

To retain length, I would suggest:

1) Wash and deep condition at least once a week to remove the accumulation of sebum from the scalp and hair.

2) Reduce direct heat (such as blow drying, flat ironing and hot curling). Instead, dry the hair using a low to no heat styling method (such as air drying in buns, braids or twists, roller-setting or flexi-rodding) to help reduce stress to the hair.

3) Make sure to moisturize nightly with a water based moisturizer like ORS Olive oil to help keep the ends lubricated. Trim as needed.

4) Keep the hair and ends protected during the day with loose styles like buns, twists, french rolls and twists.

The basic idea is to make sure that your body is healthy so that you are growing strong hair. After that, its just a matter of keeping it! This is why we want to reduce heat, keep the hair hydrated and protect the ends. This will help reduce unnecessary breakage and split ends, which can allow you to trim less often and retain length.

Okay guys follow me…. 5 months back I was taking a sew in hairstyle out of my head. It was so tangled I just said forget it and I cut off ALL MY HAIR! lol

Since then I have not put ANY Chemicals in my hair… I have been wearing lace front wigs (without gluing them on) when i leave the house.. and I let my hair out in the house and at night.

Now my hair has grown about 3 inches and that’s pretty fast for my hair… I think its becasue of not getting any relaxers!

So now, I don’t know rather I should get a perm, or keep going natural…
The only problem I have with going natural is the texture. My hair is really dry… what could i use on it to make it more moist?

what do you guys think? what should I do? what could I use?

also.. i heard that there was a "natural" hair chart to see what was your natral hair type… true?

There are many hair charts over the Internet, but most of them are derivatives of Andre Walker’s (Oprah’s stylist) hair chart. The thing about relaxers is that it can constantly break off your hair because the chemicals weaken it. This constant breakage is what keeps most black women from achieving long hair lengths (mid-back and waist-length). Your hair hasn’t grown faster, its that you don’t have a relaxer that keeps it weak and breaking off. So, by being natural you’ve been able to hold onto more growth than you normally would.

Most blacks on the hair chart are a 4a or 4b. There are always exceptions, but most blacks fall within that range. If you want longer, healthier hair then you should stay natural. If you don’t mind thin shorter hair that’s constantly breaking off then start relaxing. It’s up to you. There really isn’t a "natural" hair chart that I’ve seen. The general hair chart includes all hair types (straight, wavy, curly, kinky curly/kinky). 4a has coils that are pencil to coffee stirrer sized, and they can be wiry to the touch. 4b does not have a curl pattern, but instead the strands form a z-pattern.

For moisture I usually add a moisturizer and seal with a natural oil like olive oil. Besides a moisturizer, you can also leave-in a smalll amount of conditioner, or if your hair is very dry you can leave in a small amount of deep conditioner and then seal with a natural oil. There are many natural oils to choose from, so find something that’s good for your hair. You might find that your natural hair and relaxed hair need different products to stay healthy. Another thing you can do to infuse moisture in your hair is to baggy. Use a natural oil, moisturizer, conditioner, or deep conditioner and put it in your hair at night. Put one of those clear plastic conditioning caps over your hair and then put your regular hair scarf over it for added heat. When you wake up in the morning your hair will be wet or soggy. Experiment with different oils, moisturizers, or conditioners. I tried all three types and found that olive oil works for me. Do this consistently for a while and you’ll notice that your hair begins to retain more moisture. I had to baggy every day for two weeks before my hair began to retain moisture, so don’t expect results overnight. You should also deep condition once a week, and if your hair is extremely dry then you can do it twice a week. Sometimes I deep condition mine about 2Xs a week. Some people use S-curl activator on their hair. I’ve only used Hawaiian Silky cream activator and that worked well on my hair last summer. I don’t know anything about S-curl though, but you can ask other naturals.

Also, keep in mind that relaxers can affect your hair for a long while *after* you stop relaxing. So, if you’ve been relaxed for several years then you might not even be looking at your real hair texture. It can definitely change over the next few months. If it’s brittle, extremely dry, semi-straight or hard to curl, rough, and just nasty looking then it will most likely change. That change can happen over the course of a few months or a couple of years. My hair is changing at a slow pace, but my coils have gotten smoother, easier to curl, retains more moisture, and the coils have gotten much looser from when I first cut my hair. It’s still changing over a year after my last relaxer.

My advice is to visit as many hair websites, message boards, and hair journals as you can so you can learn how to take care of your natural hair and what to expect of it. Good luck.

You can search youtube for many videos. Many naturals have hair journals at fotki.com
