Any Questions? Hi, there! I don't expect everything on here to fall into place immediately, so do ask questions. I'll try to answer on here as well as making videos grouping the questions and posting them on the blog! Don't be shy, we're all learning to care for our heads of hair. Ps: Relaxed and texturized ladies, do pose your questions too as I have 20-odd years of relaxed hair experience and I self-relaxed for a year and a half! You can also email: i[email protected]

I have been chemical-free for over a decade and weave/ extension braid--free for over a year. Currently, I am wearing half wigs with the same textured pattern as my own. I have Aloepicia and am in steroid shot treatment. In the mean- time, the half wigs help me to rest my fragile hair. How do you feel about using half-wigs as a long term protective style?? What is "long-term?" A year, 2-years??

Hi Lola, I was wondering where do you get your aloe vera juice from? I've tried looking for some in shops for the last few weeks but so far, no success.

Hi, Claudia! I get my aloe vera juice from Holland and Barrett's usually. It can also be found at Whole foods stores.

Its been five months since my last relaxer. Im ready to get rid of my relaxed ends and start fresh with my natural hair but im not to sure what to use and how to take care of it. im terrified that If I cut off all the permed hair it will stay that length forever becuz I wouldnt hav the right hair care to take care of it. I dont want to spend alot of money in the shops what kind of products can I use on my hair at a regular beauty supply store. By the way love your videos they are inspiring.

You mentioned using a Denman brush. I visted the Denman website and there are several models. Which one do you prefer for detangling hair?

Peace I was wondering about a good staple regimen to use for someone with dry highlighted fine hair. I see a lot of great things but they are for thick hair. I am currently seeing a lot of shredding in my hair right now. its shoulder length and trying to save it and grow it out. I did a protein treatment from naptural 85 youtuber which is greek yogurt,apple cider vinegar, and lavender oil. Then used a deep condition mix paul mitchell's detangler,tea tree oil special conditioner and honey,jojoba oil and sweet almond oil. Then braided up with sheer butter. It feels soft i need a regimen Im not sure what to do. Oh I'll been transitioning for like a year but I'm shredding and breaking.

Hi Lola, though I have had natural hair for over 2 years, I have hidden them in braids and have done not much in terms of looking after it *bowing her head in shame as she types*. I have as it may labelled as 4b/4c which is extremely dry, even though I have drenched it with olive oil and shea butter, so I am at a loss in terms of what to do. A stupid question, I know, but I wanted to know whether you can deep condition every week or is it something that needs to be done with less frequency?

Hi Lola, I listened to you today on Inspiration fm on Titi's programme and I was inspired. My hair is soft and fine when retouched but its not very full. My question is can I still continue to use my relaxer and still care for my hair till it grow longer? Or is it all about the natural hair alone?
