marsvip asked: Hey~ Love the blog ^^ But one quick concern: I have been natural for almost a year now, but I still cant gain control over my hair. Its always uneven and breaks off at the ends when I comb it out, and moisture never locks in.. Its growing fine, but I cant even style it. Do you have any tips?

cluttereddrawers asked: Hi, I'm new to the whole transition from relaxers to going natural. I haven't gotten a relaxer since June 2011 and I like how my hair is turning out. But I have a question. I haven't done the big chop yet, so part of my hair is natural and chemically damaged. I was wondering if you could suggest any products that you think would be helpful and won't leave me broke in the end...
