All I gotta say is you better not put a perm in your hair. Remember you are the one that talked me into going natural. Whats wrong with you and Carm??? Both of you must have bumped your heads.

You should do what works for you and what make you feel good. As far as the "wisdom strands" as I call them, yes I highlight b/c I am premature and just turned 30 in March. There is also a stick that you can purchase from the beauty supply store and it works like mascara or there is one that looks like lipgloss, just put it on the strands, it works for me between visits to the salon (every 8

Don’t perm it! Chemicals are so toxic. Maybe try braids with extensions? It’ll give your hair a rest while you decide what to do next! By the way, I love your ‘fro but being a natural hair sis myself I know how much of a pain in the ass it can be. But it is getting warm in NYC–wet it, put some product in it, and go!!!!It will look like a "look"! Good luck!

i FEEL you. been naturally nappy for almost ten years and done it all! and for real, started hitting up the dominicians for a blow out cause they are fast and cheap. bad move! my hair is still recovering (and still falling out). so do a relaxer if you feel like it. it is faster and easier.

personally, i still enjoy the versatility of natural hair but i am all for whatever works

My vote is for Beyonce’s braided cornrows circa "Say My Name" … The African shop next to my crib will do it for cheap! You want the number? And after you finish, head ’round the corner to Hot Point on Jamaica Ave and get you a faux Tina Knowles get up. They got pleather hot pants and all that!

Loc it up girl…I’ve been natural for 5 years and loced for going on four of those years…it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. Despite common beliefs, there is still versatility with locs and your hair and scalp could never be more healthy. You’ll say goodbye to your comb forever (or as long as you have locs.)

I feel you! I’ve been natural for 4 years now and I think it ‘s time I go back to the relaxer. Sometimes being grown and sexy also means realizing that hair grows back. Do your thing!
