The hottest thing a women can ever do is…..RESPECT YOURSELF?

A woman respecting herself is very sexy. If a woman respects herself than everything will just come to her (including a good guy). Even when it comes to looking good, if a woman respects herself and her body than she won't let herself get fat, or look rundown, or look like some skank. If a woman respects herself than she won't let herself be with some man that doesn't treat her right. She will say to herself "I'm too good for this sh*t" and she will just leave. I am posting this because there isn't enough women out there who do respect themselves. And it is sad, and for us guys who are looking for a good women it is becoming very hard to find one. So please do yourself a favor and RESPECT YOURSELF, Respect your body, Respect your mind, and everything else in life will come with do time.

True. Very. Very. True.
The hard part is finding a guy who will respect you for respecting yourself, though. THATS where I'M at.

What is the correct and NON DERROGATORY way of referring to African American hair?

I am developing a customizable product for the African American market but I do not want to be perceived as politically incorrect. I just want to give an option of hair styles. I would refer as "curly" the way little Victorian girls had their hair done; how do I offer the African American type of curly? Thanks!

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS CURLY FOR AFRICAN AMERICAN HAIR. USE THE WORDING PRODUCTS FOR PEOPLE OF COLOR. I WOULD NOT BE OFFENDED BY IT.
OUR HAIR STYLES WOULD BE:
1. NATURAL
2. PRESSED
3. PRESSED AND CURLED
4. RELAXED/PERMED
5. WRAPPED STYLES
6. HAIR ADDED (WEAVES, BRAIDS, ETC.)

What are good hair products for a child that is mixed with Native American and Black?

I have a 4 yr. old daughter who is 3/4 Native American and 1/4 Black and her hair is very coarse. She has very long hair and some of it wants to curl. It's not so much thick yet, but it looks dry and wants to frizz. What will help keep moisture in? I thought about using African American products made for children, but I'm not too sure. I don't won't to put any oil in her hair that will make her hair look like it hasn't been washed. Also, I didn't want to use any products that will damage her hair. Plus, what will help her baby hairs grow? Her hair doesn't seem to be growing much in the bang area/many fly aways. I thought about giving her bangs, but she doesn't have enough to make bangs, plus isn't long enough. Any suggestions?

I would say use "Wild Root" moisturizing lotion. My sister used it on my niece's thick and curly hair for years. Eventually, she ended up relaxing it, but I would hold off on that for at lease 5 more years. I use to use "Pink Lotion" moisturizing lotion. I would say it's okay, but it builds up in the hair, therefore it would need to be washed more often. That's any product you put in your hair, though. Build up is normal. Use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner (Motions has a good line of "Lavishing" shampoo and conditioner, or try Silk Elements. They can both be found at Sally Beauty Supply.) Also, use of an entire line would be the best thing to do. Products are made to work together, therefore, they would obtain better results, then if you mixed and matched. Kemi Oyl is a great light oil that I use on a daily basis. I just went through a dry phase with my hair, and after one use of a new shampoo and conditioner (Silk Elements "Luxury Moisturizing shampoo and deep conditioner), I saw a big change in breakage and it really does make it silkier! Good luck! Ooh, also- get her ends trimmed every 6-8 weeks to minimize split ends which make hair frizz more easily!

What is the best way to style natural african-american hair without a perm,extintions,or weeve?

i have been wearing my hair natural 4 years and i need something new?

You can wear a 'fro, twists. bantu knots or my fav' dreadlocks.

I've been locking my hair for 8 years now and I can do numerous styles. If you get them small enough, you can curl them with perm rods for even more options.
