All of these problems have always bugged me especially the one about the conditioner and if you're not white, and you wear your hair natural, you must be mixed(not). But anyway, I noticed recently that my hair has been shedding, and it's not...

mojococoloco asked: Do you always have to get your hair blow-dried in order to get a cut? I've been 6 months with absolutely no heat, and with my curl patterns being so different, i'm worried it'll get knocked out and i'll have to start over!
beautifullybrown asked: so , i just stalked your blog & i see someone JUST asked about the shirts (-_-) sorry about them , can't wait for them to come out though ^_^
raaayyyyy asked: How long does it take until you see you actual natural hair grow longer?
you-pay-now asked: Hi, I have natural hair but right now I have tracks that are braided in. But where i have a part some of my hair is not braided so i flat iron it about once ever two weeks. I use a BUTT load of heat protectant and oils everytime i flat iron. I wanted to know if you think my hair will be heat damaged (my curl pattern wont be the same in that section of my head) once I take out my hair.
