After a year of persisting my hair stylist, she getting more natural hair customers and she seeing my hair grow from 6 inches to 10, she was now prepared to do natural hair. Unfortunately, at the saloon when she styled my hair to the envy of the people at the saloon, a 5 minutes walk home ruined my hair that it looked like soaked cotton wool balls to the horror of my mother who i was trying to impress :(. So my advice is to research on ways you can combat humidity or various weaving styles that look cute and not primary schoolish.

Iknow theyre going to want to buzz it off with clippers or something. Or they won't understand i want to retain as much lenght as possible since after all i want to chop all my hair off anyway in their view. (I'm going from APL to 2inches of new growth). I'm also wondering where I will get my trims. I'm not wonderful at doing my own hair in a presentable way and would definitely pay to get it done! Maybe if you don't have capital yet for a premises, you would be willing to do home service where either you go to clients by appointment OR they come to you. It can be a part time thing at first if you're busy with other things. I'm serious o. I'm willing if you are and I know my mom (a long term natural) would also be very willing!JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01133572805627106648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6143366796764247140.post-8330576572119032872012-06-12T23:48:50.215+01:002012-06-12T23:48:50.215+01:00concerning the questions...i am sooooooooooooo INN...concerning the questions...i am sooooooooooooo INN with ATARY!!!<br />yay!!!...you dont know how happy I am<br />finally..pls let it be in lagos and dont let it be too expensive ooo, i beg..LOL<br />and other styles too that could be done with the natural hair and gels that could be added to make your hair bounce when leaving the salon and you can proudly smile and say...i just walked out of a Natural hair salon who did this for me<br />you'll make it, believe me<br />i'm expectant oooo, really amsugarspringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06208257691198385817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6143366796764247140.post-67156868179413691172012-06-12T23:42:49.625+01:002012-06-12T23:42:49.625+01:00as in.....we're going through the same thing

Many Naija stylists don't understand that natural hair should be combed and detangled starting from the tip and then worked down the hair shaft to the root. Instead they always start at the root, create knots as they run the comb up the shaft and proceed to rip the hair out. I see many children crying from this sort of thing and one time I went to tell the stylist the correct way to comb the poor child's hair and she took offense. So that's another thing- employ people who are humble and teachable. <br /><br />Also I would appreciate stylists that know a range of styles not just twists and locs because that's what I often got when I went to natural hair salons in the US (this was at least 7 years ago so I'm sure they've learned more styles now). I'd like to be to go to salons where they know how to curl natural kinky hair using bendy rollers/flexi rods, straws, curlformers and also where they knew how to do fabulous updos, which my sis and I do a lot with our hair.<br /><br />Hopefully they'd also know not to rub the hair with a towel after washing as that tangles hair. These are some of the things I'd want from a good natural hair salon. And of course, stylists not behaving like they're doing me a favour for doing my hair because they happen to have the natural hair know-how.ayoolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11982342523317785045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6143366796764247140.post-9295079153936361422012-05-07T17:30:25.052+01:002012-05-07T17:30:25.052+01:00I did not discover any good effects they produced;...I did not discover any good effects they produced; but on the contrary, I never knew a soil so unhappily cultivated, houses so ill contrived and so ruinous, or a people whose countenances and habit expressed so much misery and want. <a href="http://www.seabreezetravels.com/flights-to-abuja" rel="nofollow">Cheap Flights to Abuja</a>Stephina Suzzanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837334032245529817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6143366796764247140.post-54957995638792543062012-05-03T19:48:08.703+01:002012-05-03T19:48:08.703+01:00Really?
