Anonymous asked: Whats your opinion on the Organix line? I bought Mango Butter moisturizer and Im scared to use it. Ive been transitioning for almost two months now and I dont want to dry out my hair :(
Anonymous asked: I think it would be a good idea for you to list harmful chemicals in hair products naturals or anyone should avoid.
Anonymous asked: HI! i love your blog! I did my big chop and i have noticed that my hair is sooooo dry.. like no matter what i do, it just LOOKS so dry! i have lighter colored hair (idk if that makes a difference) but I can't get it to look moisturized? would a rinse be beneficial?
practicallyblack asked: I love your blog! I have been natural for the past 18 years, which i s my whole life, and I have only straitened my hair three times ever in memory. All of these problems have always bugged me especially the one about the conditioner and if you're not white, and you wear your hair natural, you must be mixed(not). But anyway, I noticed recently that my hair has been shedding, and it's not...
darknlovelytruths asked: I love this blog!! I went natural for the first time in July 2011 and its really cool to sort of have a blog that is going through this difficult process with me.

The only problem is now my hair...

Anonymous asked: Hello, I'm not sure if you can help me with this or not, I am newly natural, I didn't do the big chop, I just let my hair grow through my permed hair. But anyways, do you have any advice on how I can style my 4B hair?

mojococoloco asked: Do you always have to get your hair blow-dried in order to get a cut? I've been 6 months with absolutely no heat, and with my curl patterns being so different, i'm worried it'll get knocked out and i'll have to start over!
beautifullybrown asked: so , i just stalked your blog & i see someone JUST asked about the shirts (-_-) sorry about them , can't wait for them to come out though ^_^
raybellebutterfly asked: How long does it take until you see you actual natural hair grow longer?
you-pay-now asked: Hi, I have natural hair but right now I have tracks that are braided in. But where i have a part some of my hair is not braided so i flat iron it about once ever two weeks. I use a BUTT load of heat protectant and oils everytime i flat iron. I wanted to know if you think my hair will be heat damaged (my curl pattern wont be the same in that section of my head) once I take out my hair.
antisocialiteb asked: Well, this isn't a question, but I literally just 'LOL'd" when I read your tagline and then I scroll down and I'm in near tears as I read. LOVE IT!
fxckinridiculous asked: Not a question but a statement. This blog gives me life! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! <3

cristinanina:
At the Hard Rock Cafe, a little mixed girl told me she liked my hair.
I turned around and told her “I like your hair, too!” then proceeded to give her a high-five for fro’s. She had the most adorable curls, and some big beautiful hair.
I absolutely love it when young girls notice my hair. I…

yinx1 asked: Is there another oil I can use besides coconut oil? I'm allergic. Also I'm at the stage where my hair has grown from a crew cut to about two in half inches, but I have 3c and 4a hair and it is awkward. Any thing or styles I can do? Stage: too short for a puff too long for everything else.
yo-yo-yo-ma asked: wats a product i can use that wen i do a braid out or twist out the curls will stay and my hair wont turn frizzy by the end of the day?
theforceofattraction asked: I JUST FOUND THIS BLOG and oh my god, I'm reading through these and I'm laughing at basically every single one because THEY'RE ALL SO TRUE! I go to a school where the majority of the kids are asian and white, so... straight hair central. Funny story, I straightened my hair one week, and my teacher asked, "So, is that a relaxer... or what's it called?" I'm like,...
