Unfortunately, just a few of them succeed to make the best decision. There are so many dyes and all of them seem to match your personality! And still, what should you know when choosing the right hair color for you? Before doing this step, try to find more information about the most common types of dye and colors. Consider the tone of your skin and the color of your eyes, because these factors are directly related to your success or failure. Increasingly more women desire to change the color of their hair.

I like my relaxer , I love the manageability it gives me and the ease of care . If I went natural , it would not be the same thing for me . It would take a lot more time in the mornings to do my hair , and frankly I'd rather sleep in . I think that as long as your hair is neat and it looks good on you , then whats the problem ?

I have done it all, currently doing the braids thing now. I haven't relaxed my hair in 7 months and that is by choice. I am not proclaiming on doing that forever, just until I get tired (which I will say before the summer rolls around I will be in relaxer mode again). That's just me though cause I like do to different things. What some of these hair haters don't understand is regardless of wearing a relaxer, weaves, braids, natural, whatever, you still got to take care of your hair. I had a discussion with a co-worker yesterday on this same subject and I told her, going natural is a difficult thing if you are not ready to do the proper care. You just can't roll around thinking all you got to do is grow your hair out and call it a day. Do you and be proud of what you do. The great hair debate.

Sure, like the movie stated, the chemicals in a relaxer (sodium hydroxide) can literally melt an aluminum can, but if that's what you want to use, that's not my concern. Shit, I've had so called 'natural' hair products make my hair shed & broke out my scalp, so it's not only the chemicals that can do damage.

I've never worn a weave, but according to this chick my long hair isn't as natural as her fro because I relax it. lol OMG…Hair snobs are terrible.

It is free at youtube. 6 parts including an update from London, England.

It explores the Korean Take-over of the Black Beauty Supply and Hair biz..

The current situation makes it hard to believe that Madame C.J. Walker once ran the whole thing.

I am not a hater, I am a motivator.

Plus I am a White guy who stumbled upon this, and felt it was so wrong I had to make a film about it.

self-funded film, made from the heart.

Can it be taken back?
