Anything can be too much of a good thing, so protein treatments should NOT be overused or they will have the opposite effect of making your hair hard and dry. Some of the products contain petrolatum and other pore clogging ingredients. His advice is dead on,but I found carol's daughter products to be better since they're all natural. Thank you essence for not showing any weaves this time (all the pics, beautiful hair short and long). I'm glad he's an advocate of pressing. I'd like to know how to transition from a relaxer to pressing to not damage what I have. It seems to be the time of going natural (whether no chemicals or pressing instead of relaxers. I let go of the weave & now am ready to get rid of the relaxer. Natural can just be no chemicals. It's about time we got rid of the myth that Black hair doens't grow long. All it is is keeping the hair that grows out on our head instead of falling out by abusing it.
