• I HAVE A RELAXER, CAN I GET DOUBLE TWIST?
  

Yes you can, pulling it apart after would be your best option and its really cute too.  Leaving twisted is not such a good idea it might come apart sooner than you'd hope. Natural hair  (chemical free hair) has a kinkier texture, therefore it holds the twist better and longer.  If you insist on getting double twist and leaving it in, I am certain that you will not be satisfied with the result.

• I want to transition from relaxer to natural, what styles do you suggest?

Do something that does not require every day grooming, like rod style, pull apart two strand twist or straw set.

• I WANT TO GO NATURAL, BUT I’M WORRIED HOW I MIGHT LOOK.

LETS GET REAL! You can be a true beauty without perming or putting extension in your natural hair, whether it is 1 inch or 20 inches.  There are so many fabulous and funky hair styles that can be created with your own natural hair.  Embrace your true texture and explore the true beauty of being natural.

• How often should I wash my locs?

At least once every biweekly. Too much washing will dry your locs out. I recommend deep conditioner at least once a month.

• I HAVE VERY BAD DANDRUFF. WHAT CAUSES IT?

There are two types of dandruff, dry and waxy.  Dandruff is believed to be directly related to lack of rest and stress!  Bad nutrition, too much gel, hairspray and not rinsing out shampoo well enough, is said to have a hand in it as well.

• How to treat dry danruff

Brush scalp for 5 minutes (bringing flakes to the surface).  Apply antiseptic to scalp.  Shampoo with either a mild or medicated shampoo, follow that with a moisturizing conditioner. Rinse and proceed with styling of the hair.

• HOW TO TREAT WAXY DANDRUFF

Brush the scalp for 5 minutes.  Apply medicated scalp lotion with a piece of cotton swab.  Sit under a infared lamp for 5 minutes, give the scalp manipulation.  Shampoo with a oily scalp shampoo and condition with a protein conditioner.  Dry hair and proceed with desired style.

• DO I NEED TO OBTAIN A LICENSE TO DO NATURAL HAIR?

IT DIFFERS FROM STATE TO STATE, CHECK WITH YOUR STATE'S LAWS.

In California, on August 18, 1999, Federal Judge Rudi Brewer (9th circuit) ruled in favor of America hairbraiders & natural hair association (AHNHA), that hair braiders cannot be forced to go to Cosmetology School where braiding is not taught, force to learn from texts that does not teach braiding, force to take a test on subject matters that does not pertain to braiding, force to take additional course in oder to teach braiding, or force to work or learn in toxic chemical environment, asssociated with a school or salon where chemicals are used, that has proven to cause miscarriages, birth defects, infertility, cancer and upper respiratory problems.

ON JUNE 15, 2000 GOVERNOR GRAY DAVIS SIGNED

SB-235 in law (Effective 01/01/01) exempting hair braiders from cosmetology laws in the state. Florida has taken a very different approach. In 1994 it began to allow people to braid hair after a 16 hour health and safety course, the course does not need to be taugh in a licensed cosmetology school though the cosmetology board must certify the eight school that teaches it. The only major problem with the Florida license is that it does not permit the use of hair extensions, which is a necessary step in most braiding styles. Florida also took the unnecessary step of creating a separate licenses for hair wrapping. The cosmetology board announced in the paper that it has not been enforcing the prohibition against braiders without a license unless it receives a complaint.

GEORGIA STATE COURT ruled (Circuit Action File #E-64995) on March 25, 1998, that braider cannot be included under cosmetology requirements. Superior Court Judge Jensonetta Tipton Carie ruled that…”the extensive (probably expensive) requirements for licensure for braiding are overly broad and bears no relationship to activities perform by natural hair stylist".
