I was thinking the same thing, especially with the heat and humidity here in Florida. I love it though, no chemicals, natural ingredients, keeps your hair healthy and so shiny. Awesome!!! 👍🏽

In any job you do you do have to have a like for people in general and respect for your clients and when your clients come in to see you they have to have the same respect because I have seen some horror stories between the worker and the client themselves but you also have to have a passion for what you do like when I started my head Journey I didn't start going to a beautician because I didn't want to but it took success seemed like it took so long for my hair to grow the way I wanted it to grow I still have maybe about 3in to go and I can do that I guess in a year's time but as long as we take care of our here ourselves don't damage it and when we go to the beauty salon if you need to go to the beauty salon I figured that someday I probably will go and visit a beauty salon in be worked on because my hair is getting quite length Lee and I can feel that I will not be able to handle my hair on my own so if I have to I hope to find I'm good beautician within my area that will treat my hair and me with respect but ladies I also say again and I promote this the take care of your hair take care of your body take care of what you put in your body so that your hair would grow your hair is not going to grow unless you water it faded nourishing massage your scalp and put the right things on your hair and yes every once in awhile if you need it cut get a good cut

there was a lady that I was listening to she had had her hair shaved off because she didn't think that her hair was healthy so she was going to start all over so she was shaving her hair because she had some problems doing her pregnancy but she went down to speak to her daughters about her hair and that she had shaved her hair and she told her daughters that hair wasn't important and I know there's a singer or officer performer when she says she we are not out here everybody don't look great bald and everybody don't want to be bald but those ladies who can grow hair and they have daughters that have African American hair or afro style Hill afro whatever you call it I don't know what you call it these days but I have 4C between 4A and 4B lafaye and my hair as I have gone on through the years I learn how to appreciate my head because now I know how to control it how to blow dry it how to fix it and how to appreciate it and I have nearly waist-length hair and I never thought that I can grow waist-length hair and I am an old woman and I am an African-American woman so ladies take care of your hair and if you over-processed hair or whatever you may do due to damage your hair all have damage to your hair may be a health problem when you do see your hair coming back take care of it inside of your body and out don't neglect it because I found out that we as African Americans with afro hair we can grow here and have beautiful hair
