top 10 african american hair facts

 

fact #1

the hair industry is a 90 billion dollar industry. black women spend at least 2/3 of those billions of dollars!

fact #2

before you get your hair braided you need to check to see whether the shop you are in is licensed with the state, as well as employing licensed stylists.

fact #3

braids are not supposed to hurt and pull the hair out. when done correctly braids should feel therapeutic to the hair. if you get your hair braided and you see white bumps, you need to remove them immediately and call the state board.

fact #4

according to the state board of cosmetology you have to be a licensed cosmetologist or barber in order to touch anyones hair. yes that includes natural hair as well.

fact #5

natural hair is very easy to work with when it is wet. when you comb it you hold it at the end and work your way inward. never try to comb natural hair from the root out.

fact #6

most natural styles can be wet, and you usually get two styles out of one depending on the look desired. imagine getting up, putting oil in your hair and walking out the door!

fact #7

relaxers do not grow out of the hair, they break and split off. the only way to remove a relaxer is with scissors. if your goal is to go natural you need to trim at least an inch a month off your hair.

fact #8

relaxer touch ups should only include touching up the new growth only not pulling it through to the ends. this is not taught in cosmetology school but is a cultural mistake that many of us do!

fact #9

many of us patronize beauty supply stores that treat us bad, take our money and destroy our hair. why do we continue to support individuals that don’t even wear what they sell? if their products are so wonderful then why aren’t they wearing what they are selling. do they not have faith in their own products?

fact #10

no one is more supreme than the creator. who ever your creator is you believe that they created everything around you. why would they make a mistake with your hair?
