I relaxed my hair for over 35 years. I have now been relaxer free since May 2004. I decided to go natural because I could not make my hairdresser understand that you cannot push the chemical against my other hair to smooth it. The caustic relaxer chemical can go into the pores of the head causing balding. This method is taught to hair professionals in beauty school. They put their gloves on then smooth the chemical with the back of their hands, fingers and comb against the other hair. I refuse to let anybody take my hair off my head so I gave up relaxers to keep my hair!

1. I currently have a blow-out. I currently stopped using strong perms. I noticed it didn't promote hair grow, it only broke my hair off and kept it limp. I just want it to grow health. I am not to interested in the length currently. I know that will come in due time. Healthy is what i want.
2. My mother has fine textured hair (just washes, blow drys her hair and it is straight). She has not had a relaxer in 11 years, but her hair snarls easily between washings. Any suggestions?
3. I have a full head of natural hair (after wearing braids for 9 months) I would like to chemically straighten it with a texturizer instead of a relaxing it, what would you recommend that I use?
4. Also, what shampoo and conditioners are better for natural hair?
5. Any recommendations for a good moisturizer for natural hair?
6. I am thinking of letting my hair grow out until there's no relaxer left. However, I'm experiencing a lot of splitting even though I'm washing and conditioning. It's been almost nine weeks since my last relaxer. What should I do to combat that?
7. In order to get my afro back to its desired shape, I wet it everyday in the shower and then I apply a deep conditioner I put on lightly and don't rinse out? 
8. I have a natural Afro, but my greatest problem is that every time I wash it, it comes out in chunks on the ends and falls out, how can I stop this.
9. My hair is gray and I wear it natural. What I've noticed is that my hair is drier than ever since it started to gray. Can your product work for natural hair?
10. I'm not sure how your guidelines will work with my coarse, natural hair. I currently have cornrows in my natural, un-relaxed hair. I'm beginning to believe that the style is thinning my hair. I'd like to change to another natural style, twists, in particular. I don't see how your recommendation to air dry hair will work for my coarse hair. Do you have any recommendations for those of us not using relaxers?
