Q&A - Clipping the ends of Natural Hair

Q. How do i clip the ends of natural hair?

A. If your hair is long enough, separate it into a few sections (6 to 10), braid each section (not a cornrow, just a braid from scalp to the ends of the hair), and use high quality hair scissors to clip the ends of each braid.

If you hair is not long enough for braids, separate your hair into sections. Use a plastic comb on a section. With one hand, hold the comb, and insert the comb into the section of hair. Gently pull up the comb until only the ends of the hair are sticking out of the teeth of the comb. With the other comb se high quality hair scissors to clip the ends of the hair. Repeat for each section. You may want to have someone help you with this second method.

Tips For Washing Natural African American Hair

Many people with natural african american and afro textured hair have had bad experiences when washing their hair, especially if the hair is natural. The washing process, if done incorrectly, leaves the hair dry, tangled, and very difficult to deal with. If done correctly however, the hair will be left clean, soft, and easy to manage.

Q&A: Hair Reverts After Pressing

Q. I live on the east coast of florida with medium to high humidity. Is there any thing special that I can do to keep my hair from reverting back to natural after pressing it? Pressing last less than 48 hours. A. Hi. It is tougher to keep hair straight in high humidity. What I recommend is that you try using a good quality flat iron instead of a pressing comb (if you aren't using one already) because a flat iron will help reduce moisture absorption by helping the cuticles on the shafts of your hair lay down flat. I also recommend that you use moisturizing hair products (like the ones we sell at http://www.nwscents.com ) . If the products that you are using on your hair are drying, they will dry out your hair, causing your hair to want to absorb moisture, which will make it more difficult for you to achieve the results that you want.
