Naturally Obsessed

A lot of ladies ask me why don't I do twists instead of the braids and my answer is always because of frizz.  With my hair, like your daughter's, after washing just one time the twists are done.  I keep my braids in for at least a month and in that month I can wash my hair as many times as I like.  Towards the end of the month there will be some fuzz at the top but, I'll just cover my head with a scarf for a little bit and it will lay it down.  And another thing when you twist hair it will never be as tightly woven as a braid would be.  Braids keep the hair more tied together.  Also after I wash my hair and while it's still dripping wet I apply an oil ( Olive oil, Jojoba, etc) all over my hair. The frizz is not completely eliminated but it helps a lot.
Hope this helps

A : My regime for the summer is pretty much the same as any other season.  I wear puffs, ponytails, twist-outs, braid-outs, etc.  Or sometimes if its really hot, I'll put it in a protective style and wear it like that for a few days to keep it out of my face. 

My way of fighting frizz to to constantly keep the hair moisturized.  Keeping up on your co-washesand deep conditioning treatments helps to train your hair to deal with humidity and heat.  Also when doing wash and go's or any wet set style use a gel or some type of holding product to weigh the hair down.  That will help it to stay put.

A : That's the same thing that happen to me during my transition.  I wore micro braids pretty much my entire transition.  It really damaged my edges especially my right side.  If I knew what I know now I would have stop wearing them immediately.  I've gotten a ton of advice from some of the ladies on FOTKI.  Some suggest using MegaTek or massaging oils like peppermint or rosemary to the affected area morning and night to stimulate growth.  I choose to use rosemary oil because I heard to many negative things about MegaTek to spend my money on it.  So far so good, I probably do a comparison post soon.

A : There really is no set time on when one becomes good at styling their hair.  For some it takes a lot of practice, for other it kinda comes naturally.  When I was young we really couldn't afford to go to a stylist whenever we needed our hair done, so we got creative and learned to do it ourselves.  I've been doing my own hair since I was a like 13.  I did my own relaxers, sew-ins, trims, wraps you name it.  And I still that way when it comes to my natural hair.

A : It varies on the look I'm going for.  If I'm doing twists or braids for a braid-out/twist-out it can sometimes take an hour or two hours, depending on the size and how many breaks I take.  I like to take plenty breaks...lol.  The longest time I've taken to do my hair has been 3 days and that was for some teeny, tiny individual braids.
