Renice's Natural Update: Hair Porn Alert!



Ooooooh I'm soooo jelly! This is why I harbor a secret jealousy for naturals! With proper care, they are so versatile. Look at her scalp!!! Ugh.. I have to get off of the computer before I shave my head.

I would definitely be a long time transitioner. Long meaning, 2-3 year transitioner, lol. My head is too big for short cuts. It's not happening.

I think the key to Reniece's healthy hair is low manipulation. She kept her hair in weaves during her transition.

In How To Repair Damaged Hair - Part 2, we discussed styling manipulation and mechanical damage. This is damage that is self-inflicted on our hair. Combing, brushing, rollers, pins, flat ironing, hand-in-hair syndrome, anything that comes in to contact with the hair has the potential to cause mechanical damage if not done with care.

Another popular member on Long Hair Care Forum, Sylver2, is known for her long, very thick hair. She also adopts a very low manipulation regimen.

It really isn't necessary to do alot of our hair, but if you're anything like me, you like to switch your style up frequently.

If breakage is a concern for you and you find that it happens often during styling, opt for a low manipulation regimen. Choose a style that you can maintain for a week like a rollerset or flat ironed style and keep your hands out of your hair!

Hair porn is RIGHT! Reneice is here in MD and I have BEEN TRYING MY HARDEST to get in w/her! But its like you gotta put together a hit list and start taking folks out in order to get in w/her! A friend of mine is a client and she has had wonderful success using weaves to grow out her hair. She is a true inspiration!
