What method are you talking about...? Maybe I didn't understand the question... Yes, your hair will look crap for a long long time before it...
Yes, and thanks for asking. I still had to GROW the hair!!! I suffered about as much scorn going through the growth process alone with all the...
I would stay away from rubber bands, they can really break and damage hair. There's only two ways to keep your sections without wax, wraps, or...
Generally health food, and organic shops carry it. In what area are you located?
1. Whatever preferences you have. Don't make them squares (make organic and rounded shapes like hexagons, pentagons, etc.) 2. Take the braids...
