To Sandra, Endora, & Anyone Else Who Wants to Grow their Hair Longer, Make it Thicker and/or Healthier: Google "black long hair" You wil find out everything you need to know. I followed the tips from my google search. My hair is now much healthier, thicker, and down my back. It's come a long way from the hot mess (e.g., unhealthy,etc.) that I started off with. I get a lot of compliments on it now.

Does ALOPECIA mean "GONE FOREVER"? Yes!!! Welcome to "The ALOPECIA CLUB". It mentally "hurts"!! But you have to "DEAL" with it and MOVE on

Hi Eugene, could you please help me find a qualified hair stylist in the Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN area. I'm hoping you might know one. All the stylist here just want to cut all your hair off and then try to put some tracks in your hair after. The bottom line they just don't know what their doing.

Eugene, i am desperately looking for a real professional to take care of my hair. i waited until i was 49 years old to decide to go short and i am very dissatified with the cuts and hair care products being used. Please please give me a address where you are located. Thank You.

I would appreciate it if anyone can comment based on their experience on how often protein treatment should be used--as the over use of protein can also be harmful. Thanks in advance!
