FAQ's

It is amazing how many times I hear that question. Yes, this is all my real hair. I do not like fake hair and have never used it. Also none of my pictures are retouched.

NO!! One of the reasons I do not regularly trim my hair is to prove that trimming the ends off has absolutely nothing to do with hair growth. It is surprising how many people believe this myth. I have honestly heard people say "if you cut your hair it grows back faster." This is not true! Hair is not like a rose bush, when you trim off the end another piece of hair does not shoot out! Trimming the hair for growth is a myth that is carried on and on by the hair care industry! Trimming the ends has absolutely nothing to do with hair growth!!

UBH manufactures and sells two moisturizers: Satin Creme Moisturizer (formally Lotion Creme) and Silky Spray Moisturizer (formally Dew Spray).

Satin Creme is great for natural, relaxed or pressed hair styles. With relaxed hair you can use either the Silky Spray or the Satin Crème Moisturizer. Our creme moisturizer is what most of our customers prefer and I recommend as it keeps my hair soft and not greasy. It also helps to extend your retouchs when you relax your hair and is a must for smoothing your new growth.

The only color I have used and recommend you use on relaxed hair is Bigen. It is a permanent color that is mixed with water and it can be applied immediately after relaxing. (I also find that the color penetrates better immediately after a retouch, and because it goes into the hair shaft instead of laying on the surface of the hair you won’t have color transfer on your towels when you wash your hair!) Sally's Beauty Supply sells it. Yes there are others out there but Bigen® is the only one I have used and recommend. WARNING: Ensure you DO NOT use neither a plastic processing cap nor a hooded dryer while the color is on your hair processing. It will cause MAJOR breaking!

After numerous requests, I have decided to make a shampoo for my product line. We released it May 2011 and you can now purchase it on our website.

Keep in mind that any shampoo you choose should be specified for dry damaged hair, color-treated hair or chemically treated. Products with these specifications should be the proper pH. If you have dandruff it is okay to use a dandruff shampoo as long as it is specified for dry damaged hair, color-treated hair, or chemically treated.

If you have a buildup on your hair, use a clarifying shampoo but use it only 1-2 times before switching back to something gentler.

My shampoo will not contain Sodium Laurel Sulfate, which is a known irritant to the skin. So if your scalp is itchy, change your shampoo to one that does not contain Sodium Laurel Sulfate or its cousins.

Sorry my first 2 books are Out-of-Print and no longer available. Ultra Black Hair Growth II 2000 is an expanded/updated version of them both. The information that was true back then still applies today.

You should look to receive your package in approximately one week. Sometimes, the carrier will say they have left a notice and the customer reports they have not gotten one. UPS will typically make several attempts to contact you. The Post Office will usually only make one attempt. After a period of time, unclaimed packages are returned to us. If packages are not claimed and are returned to us, UBH will refund the purchase price minus shipping costs.

Anybody who guarantees that what they sell can make your hair grow, I would be very leery of for the simple fact that neither they nor I know what you are doing to your hair, how you care for it and what is going on in your body hormonally etc. You can say you use my products but if you still do all the bad things you were doing to your hair, you still will not have hair. The same is true of some medical conditions that have a negative effect on hair. So the answer is no, I do not guarantee that if you use my product that your hair will grow. I will say that if your problem is the same as mine, dry hair, then this system when used in accordance with my methods, you should be able to correct the problems you have with your hair and add length.

Anybody who gives you a "guarantee" that they can grow you hair is pulling your leg. I do not guarantee I can grow your hair because I do not know what you are doing to your hair, what condition your body is in (hormones etc.) so therefore it would be very foolish for anyone to say they guarantee something will work.

If your hair is relaxed or natural and it is dry and breaks constantly, then this will help you. I have never had long hair in my life but learning how to care for my hair has produced length that I had only dreamed of in the past. So if you are looking for something that will give you the knowledge to take care of your hair and to grow it if that is what you choose, this system will work for you.
