At this point I’m a little perplexed by what I should do with it?

February 29th, 2012 Adrienne Achieving and maintaining moisture in natural hair can be a very challenging task. But, when you equip yourself with the right tools and knowledge it can become second nature.
Robin Groover, owner of Too Groovy Salon, shares great insight on how to keep your hair’s moisture in tip top shape:
1. “Moisture come from within.”
Moisture comes from inside the hair shaft. The only way to add moisture to our hair is to use “moisturizing and hydrating products that penetrate the hair shaft.”
February 22nd, 2012 Adrienne We have all, at some time or another, encountered a bit of hair shedding trouble.
It seems, at least for me, that my natural hair shedding, with all the curls and coils, is much more noticeable.
To add to a little more mystery to the mix, at times, it is difficult to differentiate between excess shedding and breakage.

January 6th, 2012 Adrienne Me, My Hair & the City Reader: I had the pleasure of meeting you when you came to Spelman. I was wondering if you had any tips for me since I am transitioning. My biggest struggle is finding a product or regimen that keeps my hair moisturized and less frizzy.
Soon I plan on cutting the rest of my relaxer off, so if you have any products or tips that could assist me with maintaining natural hair it would be greatly appreciated.
