Where I’m from, I didn’t see a lot of people with locs growing up. Nowdays, it wouldn’t be hard to find a dreadhead in even the most non-urban communities.
Scientists have found a worrying link between breast cancer and the use of hair dyes and chemical straighteners also known as relaxers.
There is so much bad information circulating about black hair growth. I want to start by addressing the myth that black hair doesn’t grow.
First of all, if that was the case people wouldn’t need relaxers every two months.
