For women with natural hair, we always ask 101 questions about our hair to figure out when it will grow, to know what products work for other people, to understand how to maintain our strands and more. But in the midst of trying to learn about our heads of hair, we’re making some mistakes that in the end could be damaging and even a waste of time and money. Time to make some changes!

1. Scratching!!!!

Hair Care Stylist PSA: PLEASE do not scratch your scalp! If you suffer from itchy scalp, first identify your problem. If your scalp is itching, the PH levels of it could be off balance. Pure peppermint oil is a great treatment for that. The causes of itchy scalp vary from lack of moisture on one hand, and over moisturizing on the other, both of which you can change. If you suffer from itchy scalp because of a medical condition, ie. psoriasis or eczema, you should consult your physician immediately.

    Hurt people, hurt people..E is hurting, because she feels a need to lash out at others for no apparent reason. I loved myself when I rocked perms, weaves, braids,etc. I can definitely afford it (even in the recession), but it was just a decision I made because my hair was being damaged by perms. If I want to straighten my hair in its natural state, wear braids or weaves I will and plan to. I have definitely spent more $$$ on products with my hair in its natural state…E , if your mom taught you to love your hair; I’m sure she taught you to love your neighbor and learn to forgive…Life is too short to arguing over hair..to perm or not to perm…we should be more concerned with inequality, world hunger, homelessness, and pulling together as a people…
