Congratulations on going natural! The most important thing is to wash and condition your hair weekly. It is also important for you to use high-quality products on your hair while going natural.
- I have long hair that's breaking. What do I do?
It is very important to get your ends trimmed every 6 to 8 weeks. You will also need to wash and condition your hair weekly. Also, you should only use the best-quality products on your hair. Using anything less can cause even more breakage.
- I have spent alot of time on your site and noticed that your site caters to African American hair. Could these techniques be applied to caucasan hair as well? Would there need to be modifications?
Yes, they can but, depending on the style there may need to be modifications but, not usually.
- I have thin hair in my crown and temple area. Is there anything you suggest for people in my position?
Have you consulted a salon professional about your thinning areas? Normally, they can suggest to you what type of weaving will best suit you. You may want to look into purchasing a lace front wig. They can be pricey, but you will be able to wear it with a part, straight back or up in a ponytail.
- I live in Florida and want to get a hair braiding license. What do I need?
The licensing requirements are different for each state. You can find out the details for your state by contacting the Board for Barbers and Cosmetology in your state.
- I loved your Kinky Twists DVD, but I noticed you didn't use gel to lock the twists. Why?
I’m so glad you love the DVD! I don’t normally use gel. Instead, I use hot water and it always stays twisted.
- I was thinking about starting a braiding salon just for children. Do you think that would be a good idea?
There are very few salons that cater to children, so I would definitely encourage you to pursue your idea. The Hair Braiding Business Guide will definitely give you some great information about starting your business. Whatever you do, follow your dream of owning your own business!
- Is that regular human hair that you are using?
It's a higher quality human hair that has been cut off the track.
- The length of my Kinky Twist varies significantly, even on the same row. What am I doing wrong?
Are you folding the hair in half before you put it in? Sometimes not doing so can make the twists uneven.
- What is a good perm to use at home when you can't make it to the hair salon?
Always remember that you get what you pay for. With that in mind, you always want to spend a little more money to get a good-quality, conditioning lye relaxer. Stay away from no-lye relaxers. They do more harm than good.
- What other sewing and plaiting techniques are there, and when would they be used?
There are several other ways to braid the hair to prepare it for sewing. Some examples are circular, zig-zag and straight back. My personal favorite is braiding straight back; it’s a lot less time-consuming.
- What type of hair do you use for Kinky Twists?
I like to use the Bob Marley hair. This hair is very easy to twist with and you don’t have to worry about sectioning the hair because it’s already sectioned.
- What type of hair is used for Senegalese Twists? Is the method the same as for Kinky Twists?
For Senegalese Twists, you should use regular synthetic hair. And yes, it is the exact same technique as the one used with Kinky Twists.
